I love this angle the form and the character. The colors are great also. Just one thing..and maybe it's just me but you should maybe go back over the form and pit in a darker outline.

I tried the darker outlines and it was off. kind of. Plus, I wanted to try to work on the outlines using a different color. Basically I'm still teaching myself how to outline like a pin up artist would. This was my first real picture that I learn how to do color texture. I don't want to fix it yet. I don't think I'm ready yet. I need better coloring tutorials. I COULD just re-ink it digitally, it may look better. (still can't believe this picture is over 2 years old. felt like I did it just a few months ago.)

Thanks for the feed back.

I'm taking baby steps I've just started last week trying how to draw with my new tablet.

man...it took me 9 months with the cintiq. the set ups, and getting the feeling right, i don't know why, but it took some time. I was getting upset in the beginning. basically, I had to reteach myself how to draw with it. Inking and coloring was easy in the beginning. but drawing.

That's what I'm doing now. Memorizing all the buttons. Setting the equipment up the way it feels most natural. Then re-learning drawing. I guess it's just going to take me time..like you said.
