Shadow Girl

Alright, firstly before I give you crit, you are a beginner at this, but I'm going to give you alot of respect here cause instead of copying a metric ton of fanart, you're going at it on your own, and I respect that, and the actual layout of this picture is actually interesting, so as a picture, I feel you can be proud of it cause you look like you've put effort in. In saying this, there's room for improvement, but you can attack that bit by bit. You look like you could be bothered doing so, so I'll see if I can help you out

Alright, so I don't know if your picture shrank badly, or if you intended on making the whole picture vertically flattened, but I increased the height of the picture... around 130 - 140% and got her head to be more round and less oval. this corrected SO many of her proportion issues that I wonder if perhaps it's a shrinking issue. What ever happens, once I stretched the picture, the biggest issue I had with her was her hair. It may seem right to you, but makign the top of the head curve as flat as you have it here gives the impression that her head is flat on the top. Your style here seems chibi, so you want to be focusing on the head being more round, so I suggest you start your head with a perfect circle, and drawing your hair off the head. Then mould the face under the hair and tweaking the both till they're right.

Next- her right arm is drawing the cloak across her so it should be grabbing the cloak. Because of this grab, it'll leave a few drappy tension lines in the fabric.

The straight arm doesn't tense up the fabric at all so this arm's creases depend entirely upon if the fabric was rested flat on the arm for how it falls. I'd imagine there to be a cluster around the elbow where it'd bend, and that's it. The lines for your cloak look odd you you cause it gives the effect of the fabric clinging to the skin and its self. Fabric doesn't have natral static cling when it's not shear, and this much of it. If you weight it down by simplifying the creases, it makes your life easier, and the fabrics

My next thing I'd like to point out is that your eyes here are ALL iris. It's a common thing in chibi styles to give big iris' cause they're cute, but having them this big means that you can barely see what direction they're looking, specially when the wet in her eye is as big as her pupil.

My second to last thing is a rule- 'If it's straight, rule it'. The colour in the background I assume is light? Rule it Even if you're using paint, this should be an easy task. It's worth it, cause light can't bend without hitting something first, and it destroys the illusion the picture gives.

Lastly, your linearts aren't sharp enough to colour in, which is why your linearts are pixelated. what program do you use for your digital art? I could offer a better solution.

I hope I've helped I'm not sure where you want to go with art, but if you need help, give me a buzz. I'll see if I can think of anything And keep drawing! Nothing will make you improve faster than heaps of practice! Your brain already knows what stuff looks like. You just need to let it all out
