I do like that, Tara! I'm a sucker for vibrancy and I really like the text as well.

One thing I feel I need to comment on is the pink overtone on the entire banner, feels a little overwhelming and does a lot to make the overall image look a tad monotonous. I would personally tone down the pink gradients to allow other members of the colour scheme to become more president.

I thought about that too, pink is a difficult colour to fill an entire tag with; and it doesn't help that the character has a lot of pink as well.
An easy way out would be to make the background more blue. But blue is sort of overpowered, and it is pretty overused too.

Should I change the color of the overtone, or just take it out completely and leave it like so:

I like it more like that, maybe add a bit of lighting on the top or bottom of the render, like with a soft white brush.

Also, I've had like 4 hours sleep, I spent the whole night drawing and stuff with my friends, and they didn't leave my house until 2am.

But check it out. XD

I do like that much more, Tara. Personally I'd have a balance between the two. Have a little pink seeping in at places while keeping the rest the way it is. You did a good job!

Hmm... Malyka, something I've always noticed about your human drawings is that the body isn't always proportionate with the head. I guess it's because you work at making the head first with shapely hair and other nice features...but trying to work a body to fit in with the proportions of the head can be tricky, and it risks looking rather weird and overall looking pretty stiff.

So what I'd advise next time you try sketching is to picture a pose in your mind and make several guidelines to give you a good idea of how to draw this out—bearing in mind that starting away from the head and focusing on the body firstly would make it so the proportions will look accurate.

What's important about drawing a figure is how to make the head work with the body, not the other way round.

So draw the head after you figure out the bodily pose.

But otherwise it's a good attempt, I like the design.

Nowadays I always make sure proportions and limbs are exactly the way I want them before adding the fancy details. I think it makes the finished product a lot better.

There's no business as serious as art.

Yeah, I do realised I've always had trouble with proportion, haha. My friends were showing me last night, so I'll use what they told me next time I draw. I guess I got too carried away with all the fancy stuff and what not. XD And it does kinda explain why it took me a while to draw the eyes as well.

But thanks, I'll take what you said into account as well for next time. :o

Body first, then head. XD

Yeah, it's like making a boat. You can't add the fancy additives to a boat without first making sure it's the right proportion, otherwise it'll look like an uneven boat that will most likely sink.

With my drawings...especially my latest, they would need to go through this:

in order to become this:

to then finally become this:

And you're welcome, Malyka. Anything I can do to help. XD

I always start with the head myself. What's important I think is to draw it as an actual proportional and three-dimensional body and not a bunch of features mushed together.

 

[Aizuke]

207369.

You make it look so easy.. XD

Actually I did sketching too, based off a drawing of a pose in a book I had.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

No kidding, looking at that makes me believe drawing the most simple thing ever xD;

 

[Signomi]

I think the best way I can describe it is to keep picturing your desired outcome in your head and just bit by bit draw out the frame...even starting small with things like stick-figures and then working your way up with other details.

 

[Aizuke]

207372.

So in my drawing is the head.. Too big or too small?

4 hours sleep, I kinda can't think right.. XD

 

[Signomi]

207373.

It's a good size, it's just that by looking at the body it actually gives me the very obvious impression that it was drawn to try and match the head...which isn't exactly something you want to be showing off to your audience.

Try something more dynamic and see what outcome you get out of that.

 

[Aizuke]

207374.

Dynamic as in more actioney like?

 

[Signomi]

207375.

Dynamic as in... "pose must not look like you're looking in a wonky mirror." XD

Ahh I think I'm starting to feel my cold getting worse, should get some sleep...

 

[Aizuke]

207376.

Mkay, I'll see what I can do. :o

And yes, you should sleep. XD Sleep is good! (As someone keeps telling me, and I should be sleeping now.. XD)

Yay for second attempt?

Spoiler:

Why does it feel like half the time I'm drawing, I have no idea what I'm doing. :<

That's how I am with tags like... the majority of the time. xD;

All three of you draw better than I. I such at proportions, so I kind of have this semi-chibi style going with my drawings. /will show her latest... eventually.

aaaaand attempt three with tag:
