Traditional Art Sea Salt Kairi

uhh just scrool up a bit

it was a very good drawing and same with the coloring to and i only see 1 flaw

 

The lineart reminds me of the art in the main game option from the games, were you going for that pose?

About shading: shadows and highlights is what gives the drawing shape. So basicly, adding shadows and highlighs will help. Most importaint thing to have in your mind is where the source of the light comes from, in this case it could be the sun shining above the ocean, in front of Kairi. (an example) As to how to add shadows and highlights, if you are familliar with how layers in Photoshop work that is a good start - the first thing I learned is to make separate layers:

lineart
highlights (in screen setting)
shadows (in multiply setting)
colour (base colours, the first colours you use)
background (probably just white)

You just use the very same colour you used for the base colour, the setting in each layer makes it lighter or darker. It may take some time to get used to colouring images on a drawing program like photoshop, but you won't believe how many useful tutorials have been made for anything you could think of! Here's the link for a site that helps loads with the basics of drawing/colouring, at least it got me starting with the comp.
