    Okay, well this took about two days cuz I got lazy, but I think it turned out really well. ^_^

    So yea, it's Kairi holding a paopu fruit, and I think it's rather cute. I think it could maybe use a bit of work here and there but I don't want to try and fix it cuz I don't wanna mess it up. Also the way I had the camera kinda messed up the proportions a bit :/ plus the annoying flash, but oh well.

    CnC please. ^_^

    edit: I just noticed I missed out shading some parts like the hands and the belt >_< oops.

    I think it looks awesome^^
    But, the proportions of the head are kinda off...
    Other than that it looks great!^^

    It needs a little bit of work, but it still looks good. Like something from the manga.

    I think it's very cute! :3 Even though the head is a bit too round rather than oval shaped, there was something about it that I fully enjoyed viewing. Especially what the eyes tells you about Kairi, they were kind of peaceful but not in the stereotypical way.

    What you should pay attention to:

    The body, mostly the upper part, didn't follow the same line that the head did. If you want the body to face the camera while the head looks more to another direction you should let it show - let the bone at the chest follow the shoulders, let the shoulders follow her eyes a little bit more. Shape the neck so that it somewhat connects with the bones on the chest, right now it looks kind of unnatural for body proportions.

    Also, you should add more folds to show that her clothes are made of fabric, that they aren't stiff as a card board. The more folds there are, the more loose and less tight the outfit is. Adding shades on her belt that are harder than on her clothes would show it is made of leather, if you do something similliar with the metal parts it would add more shine to it.

    Hopefully this will help you. :3

    I think you should print out the suggestions you think will help you the next time - it may be too much to remember out of the memory, I dunno. X3

    The body looks pretty good, but the top of the head is kind of flat. Try putting some more detail into the eyes as well. And if you really want to, Kairi's shirt is a bit shorter than that.

    Its ok, you need to work on your head proportions I think. Her head looks really ovalish. And work on the hands, just showing some depth to them in your shading, but s'okay I guess.

    Looks pretty good from my standpoint. You might wana put some more details in the head. Same goes for the hands. A little shading or what not might make it look better...

    It looks good so far :). I like the way you drew her eyes. There are some things to fix though.
    The proportions are off a little bit on the head and upper body. Try making the head smaller width wise, and taking off a little around her waist to give a more shaped look. The shoulders seem to slope a little too much, so bring them up and -slightly- slope it to give a more natural apperance.
    The clothes seem kind of stiff like cocohints said, so try to add some lines and more shadows to make it seem like the clothing has folds and wrinkles.

    Hope it helps :D
