Thank you very much! ^^ Yeah, I kinda messed up on the hand while inking it. sweatdrop As well as the arm. Yes, I did use colored pencils. I used a mixture of crayola and roseart. ^^ Yes, I know it needs work. I'm still changing my style, and practicing hands, poses, ect... Hopefully I'll be good enough in time to make a manga! Anyway, I really appreciate your comments though!! ^^ If you would like to see more of my work, please click the link in my siggy. XD

Welcome ^^ Ahaha, yeah... XP Ohh, I just remebered a blending tip... XD Take a tissue, or napkin, tissues better if you want it softened and such... And rub it on the marks and stuffs. Infact, I never tried it out on colored pencils... But if it works on pencil, I'm pretty sure it'll work with colored too O: And I'll be sure to clicky ze linky :3

The heads are REALLY big for the body, even for a chibi.
Try making the shoulders two heads wide. Even if the shoulders LOOK too broad, it'll even out once you add hair and clothes and such. It'll also help the neck look nice and slender, which is very feminine in the anime world.
The neckties on the two outermost girls looks off. Like its facing FRONT instead of 3/4 like the girls are. Just position them differently, and I'm sure they'll be fine.
On the rightmost girl... She's got a uniboob. If you look at girls around you, even with small chests, their boobs are generally right next to the armpit. So you should be able to see more of the left (left on the character) boob.

Nice design, nice colours. I think with a bit more practice you'll be wonderful. :3
