I love this one. She is so pretty and her expression is so real. I don't see anything lame about it. I just see someone who needs practice. And the hands are credible. Go click Fanart on the menu bar and choose tutorials. Sugar0o, who is one of the best artists on our site, has done a tutorial on drawing bodies. It's really good. I'm going to print it out and follow it, see if I can learn to draw. Then Mistress Sianna did one on shiny hair, Saholia did a wonderful one on eyes, Ko Torii did one on hair blending and Amadeus has done a bunch of tutorials, and he's a really fabulous artist, and Rikayu has a line art tutorial there, she's one of my favorites too. I mean, you obviously have talent and here are these really good artists who've put the help right there for you, go get it, girl! And I'm sure that they wouldn't mind answering your questions. That's one of the things I love about this site, everyone is so incredibly nice and helpful. Now I'm going to add your pics to my favorites so I can compare them to the ones you're going to be drawing to see how you've improved. I do love the way you've depicted Kagome in all three of these.
