Welcome to Gaia! ::

the first drawing seems a bit heavy on the right side. I think when you draw really tiny feet, it's a good idea to make sure everything seems balanced anyway.

i like the coloring though. i REALLY want to learn how to make pinstriped on the computer, but then i wont be doing any CG until July.

Thanks!
And, I agree, it seems sort of tippy. it actually looks a lot less like that when it was on paper, since there wasn't any depth from color (cause it was just outlines), but after i finished i was kind of like, "gah... does that look okay?".
When I look at it though, even the hair and shoulders and mouth and stuff are a bit heavier on the right side.

And the pinstripes (and really subtle scissors pattern on the shirt) are made with photoshop's pattern tool. I just made a little pixel image, made the background transparent, and then go to edit > define pattern, select the area i want to use, and pattern fill with the desired tile pattern. It's on a multiply layer so it overlaps, and then the excess is cut off, and the opacity lowered slightly. It's kind of like toning work in comics, but digitally.
(this is all with photoshop CS, but I'm pretty sure it would work with other PS versions)

apparently, a lot of people's browsers blocked photobucket recently (or, that's what one of my friends told me... they may be misinformed though) because of some spyware alert or something.
