    I'm not gonna bother commenting on the lineart since you already started on the colouring process. *I love it btw just minor propotion biz but screw that :3*

    Well, the shading you are doing now is soft, very soft - so soft that you have a hard time seeing your shading and it instead looks flat when you don't want it to do that. You could try to add more DARK shadows and LIGHT highlights, there is no shame messing around with countless layers if that makes you more comfortable in the progress. Actually I'd recommend you use different layers in the start, if you find out you don't like the result then down the trashbin that layer goes! An advantage of the digital art I'd say, you're allowed to mess up. If you are familiar with the layer settings (multiply, screen, etcetc), feel free experimenting with those in your layers to see if you end up with something you like.

    The eyes look very good, I'd keep those unless you change your mind later. The hair will have a smooth surface so make sure you can add some sharp shine where the light would hit them. Same goes with the keyblades, as they are metal material they are also rather smooth looking. Most times smooth surface = sharper shadows and shine effects.

    So keep experimenting, you've worked so hard with the lineart already I can tell, it wants you to fully finish it in it's glory! <3

    Seriously? This is purely amazing. A few things though. Kairi's hair looks a bit frizzled and her Keyblade is supposed to be gold except for the actual "blade." Sora couldn't look better except that his hair goes down a bit too far. Riku 's face is a bit off proportion. That's all my criticism and even though I asaid all that, I'm still giving it a 9.5/10.

    This is really nice :]
    but kairi looks a bit fuzzy
    it looks finished already
    but if you're working on the background
    that would make it look much better
