Artist's Comments

This was my last night

and the entirety of my afternoon

and the start of my evening.

If you're confused, don't worry - I am, too.

Lyrics are "American Girl" by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, of course. Because I could.

Looks pretty cool, but did you pay attention to proportions? She looks like her arms are waaaay too long for her body.

I have some advice for you, and I'm not sure you're going to like it, but I think I need to say it anyway.

I really think you need to break out of this style and challenge yourself as an artist by drawing some realism or even just another type of cartoony. Who knows, maybe you do, but all I ever get to see is this style. It's good to have your own style but if you don't break out of it every once in a while you're not going to grow as an artist very fast.

Believe me, once you've done a few anatomy studies or things like that, you'll see a marked improvement in this style.

Hey, please check out my gallery!

Well, I go through phases. Sometimes I care about specifically trying to improve, and other times I just want to have fun with what I draw, because that's what it comes down to - I love drawing. Drawing something I like is usually the most fun I can have.

I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to porportions on this one, partially because it was in the "just for fun" category and partially because it's surrealistic anyway. But I see what you mean about the arm (oops). At some point I'll probably work on more realistic styles, but at the moment I'm having too much fun with what I do now to risk trying something else and end up hating drawing as a whole. Even if I'm not improving as quickly as I could, what really matters to me is enjoying myself. :heart: Thanks for the input and I'll try to keep an eye on arm lengths. :P :)

I like this. It's got impact. It's very stylistic in the coloring, proportions and composition. I like her expression.
