Though I can't change too much because it's inked, I can try and edit with the computer. Even if I can't, it's always good to know what to look out for next time.

As far as I've noticed, the horn is crooked a bit, and her arm....I'm not sure about that.
I 'd like any other advice for it (even if it's the smallest thing xD).

so cute!!! I love her design <33 I used to play Neopets, but I've forgotten my password v____v

Anyway, since it is somewhat SD style, I don't know what to critique because some of the things are just part of your style, so please don't be offended if I mistake a stylization for a mistake >__<;; In addition, I'm not perfect myself, so don't take a lot of what I say seriously.

Overall, I think you have a good eye for the flow of hair. The only mistakes I could see were her shoulders, which sloped down a little too much (imo) and the position of her arms. Don't try to hide her arms like that just because you don't want to draw her hands!! This is bad for you for two reasons, one, you are losing a chance to practice how to draw hands, and two, you're restrained to some pretty boring poses if you hide the hands. Don't hide hands like that.

Uhmm, I gave her more of a ribcage in my redline. There were just small things like cutting off part of the head, and ribcage.

I wanted to draw in a suggestion for the other arm, but I wasn't sure.

I'm sorry if I was too nitpicky!! I think that overall, she looks like a great character and you have a good idea of form so far. I'm sure whoever you're thanking will be thrilled ^^

@ Xiaa:

Thank you! <3
Heh heh
I made this character a couple years ago, and I redid her.

The angle you put her in looks higher, I like it.
Hair flow...? Usually I put random strands, but I decided to erase all that to make it look pooofy! xD
And the hands....I'm always telling others not hide them (such a hypocrite I am...). I kinda wanted them behind her back, but I must admit it looks better your way.

I have to work on angling! (sp?)
I'm not offended at all. I want to thank you for being so specific, I get confused when people are too general. ^^;
You really helped a lot! I guess I'll color the first, and draw another with this reference.

P.S. It's for pageviews. ;3

The redline was supposed to be helpful, really. But it's so messy now that you probably can't tell much of what's going on.

My biggest piece of advice would be to draw general lines of direction for the hips and shoulders, and make sure that (for girls only, cos guys are more like triangles XD) the hips and shoulders are about the same width.

It's not that messy~ Basically I need more movement, right? A more interesting pose. x]
