This is an oekaki I did of my RP charra..
Im really just practicing my colouring style..Im really trying to develop a method for hair..I think it's working, does anyone have any advice for me?

I think the colouring looks pretty good. But the nose looks very blocky, and the hair very stiff.
Sorry, I don't know how to fix it, I'm still learning to colour myself! sweatdrop

It's nice 3nodding

Perhaps you could try gradually using lighter, more saturated colors to hilight that hair.

Nice dramatic shading. biggrin The mouth area looks a bit confusing to me... I'm not really sure what's going on with the upper lip area and the teeth. The chin could be a bit more defined, but that's just my personal opinion. x3

As for the hair... it is a bit blocky.. hmm. I don't suppose you've seen the Samurai 7 DVD cover art? It kind of uses a blocky/simplistic style, but it still has a lot of flow.

Hopefully they'll give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

I find sad faces terribly hard to pull off well, so kudos for that. ^^
Mmm, I think part of the hair problem is the section of hair falling over infront of the shoulder.
It looks nice towards the bottom, but at the top it's sort of appearing out of nowhere. It doesn't flow around the curve of the scalp like the other strands do, so it's a little stiff looking.
Other than that...
This is really pretty, especially those tears. : D
