Welcome to Gaia! ::

THey both look very good (better than I could do, by any means.) But there are a few things I notice that are off.... (but I'm no expert on realism, so yeah)

On the first drawing, looking at the larger picture, her nose looks a little awkward.... perhaps lopsides might be the term? And she's supposed to be sticking her tongue out... I think? Looking at the small version, it looks like she just has a much larger bottom lip, and even in the normal size, it's still hard to tell.

The hair on both of them has a very sketchy feel to it, and thus looks rather straw-like. While I don't have a tutorial for the clothing that I can give you a link to, I have found one for hair that I find rather helpful... http://www.rebekahlynn.com/free/tutorial/hair_tutorial.html The hair does still look good, though. -^^-

First of all, I'd like to say that I like your pieces very much but I did notice a couple of things that were a bit off.

1) In your first picture, her head is way too small for her body. And her neck a bit too short.

2) The second picture is great, although I think in this one her neck is a bit too long. But other than that both pieces are very nice, you did a good job on them.

I have noticed her head being too small.
Her head is suppose to be leaning down, so not a lot of her neck is suppose to be showing, but I'm no good. ='D

Oi, I'm no good with angles, but I see how it should be positioned. Thank you Freiflug.

It does look flat (I'm thinking you mean the second one?) but I never added the fact that we have muscles in our face an such. . . Even though I know this. D,x

I also do the reverse thing, but I just hold the paper up to a light and look through the other side, but I get so frustrated; move things to the right, up higher, OH NOES moved it too much!!! and such. Soon I just put it down and next time I work on it don't even check the leveling or things and whatnot. *LAZY*

Well, I think being more specific in your critiques would be nice~. I don't offend easily, usually never, so no. Getting mor into detail might help also, I love details I can't usually get into a lot of detail for lack of wording and such, but lots of details are always nice, maybe references too (like Freiflug did). Were you any help? . . .To an extent I guess. Not a lot of help can come from someone over the internet, thats why pictures are always nice. I do appriciate your critique though.
