Title: Finally finished River's ref! Can you critique it?
Post by: RiverTheKitty on July 07, 2015, 04:09:45 AM
Mrow, I really would love you guys to critique two things about this; River's design, and also my art, if you would! *purrs* You know, just tell me what you like about it, what you think I could improve on... thank you in advance!  :)

Too big brush sizes, makes it look "splashy?".

I approve of this illustration, although I'd alter the hair to remove the stray strands falling from above-left of the nose. Maybe a bit of outlining to match the rest of the picture?
Experimenting with brushes might yield interesting results. Always good to consider variations you haven't thought of before.

If this is a drawing reference, I recommend you do a detail on the markings, showing her back and legs and stuff so people know if there's any runes, scars, tattoos, etc. there. 0ther than that, it's great!

Thank you!
Oh, I already did! Her only markings are the hieroglyphs, and those are shown in a close up next to her!
