it's something I did of someone's zanny avvie, my first time coloring something;



any tips as to how I can improve? I'm just learning to draw so I needs to improve a lot ;O

update- here are two other pictures I did of a witch girl and a faun;





one thing I've already noticed about the faun is that the forearm that's holding the flute, thing, is a little short I think.

That is very good. Coloring advice is to start with light colors then slowly get darker where needed. Itll help bring picture to life. As for drawing looks ;like all you need is to practice. You are already on your way to becoming a great artist

I just see two-three things right now.

- The area from your elbow to the hand, the hand that's raised,, it's a bit short, especially compared to the hand that's not raised.
-The neck is a bit like...droopy. xD It doesn't have any bone structure, it also looks like it might be a bit short. :3
-The nose is shown to be tilted the the side, like completely. It would be a perfect nose for someone who is looking to the left ( naked eye to computer screen wise )

It is very terrific though. :] I don't have the ability to do art like yours, I'm a chibi person. xD

If you want, I'm not sure if this current style is your style or not, but the face is a bit wide as well. It's the same in zantarni avatars, so I'm not to say if that's why you drew it like that or not. xD

Awua: now that you mention it.... *looks at the nose and busts out laughing* that was my bad... but it looks kinda funny xD

I did realize that about the arm after it was too late. the neck too. but thankies much for the adices! and yes the face was done like that on purpose. that's not the style I normally do ;O

Man: thankies! and I did do that with most parts, but I forgot to on the wings (obviously) >.<

One thing is, the wings seem a bit lopsided. Another thing is, the neck seems too short [and too thick?] Also, the hands are too small, they should be roughly the size of the person's face. And the face also seems a bit uneven. Another thing is, the arms [especially the left, our right arm] is too thin. By looking at the face, the person seems to be plumpish, but by looking at the arm/s, they don't match. The arms make it seem like the person is skinny but the face does not match. So, you would need to make the arms thicker/wider. Also, it might just be me, but the forearm is too short.

amiiu: actually the skinny arm thing was a screw-up that occured when I was coloring it D;
thankies for all the advice <3 I will try to improve

oh and about the wings, if it's because the tops of the wings are off, that's because my scanner screwed it up. like it does all of my drawings =_=

I would certainly say you are well on your way! There are a few areas that need to be tightened up a slight, but with practice I am certain your work will be really up there!

As for coloring, experiment a little! Lighting really helps a pic too! Just play around with different coloring styles and see what works best for you, or better yet create your own style!

For the second picture, the hands, especially the right [our left] hand, look very...awkward. Also, the feet look too small. Your feet are about the length of your forearms roughly. And for the third drawing, the forearm of the right [our left] arm is way too short as you've said and the stomach area seems too thin. Overall though, they're nice.
