While typically I hate anything done with a ballpoint pen, on second glance I see that you managed to (somewhat) counter the two things I hate about that medium -
number one, the movement. I like that her hair bends pretty realistically around the back of her hair, and it doesn't have a bunch of crosshatching business going on.
The other thing I hate about ballpoint pen usage as a posted art medium, is the fact that shadowing and darkened areas are virtually impossible to separate from lighter areas. You have done a ... sort of... good job at countering this. I feel like there was at least a small amount of planning ahead, or that you started with the lighter areas first, and then worked towards the darker areas. The reason I say "sort of" countered, is because there isn't really any differentiation between the shadowing of the side of her torso, and the area beneath her chin going to the inner parts of her hair, and it is then pretty much left to your imagination what kind of lighting this might be in. I would ASSUME neutral lighting, but then again, how do I really KNOW, you know?
Now, onto things unrelated -
Her look is very generic. There is literally nothing amazing about the way she looks. I can tell this is basically just a sketch. (Reminds me of the style of Ergo Proxy, which on the one hand, I kind of like, just because I liked the art style of Ergo Proxy briefly, before realizing they were never going to push that art style into anything that looked REMOTELY interesting other than that crazy room with that chick's grandfather, and also just because the story went to shit after like 5 episodes.)
The eye on the left seems off center somehow. Perhaps there are some conflicting angles that just wind up with me seeing the eye as off center, I can't tell. This isn't so bad when you consider that her hair is blocking it from view, but I feel as though you should have just not drawn it in if that were the case.
Her right ear has a BUNCH of messy ass messy crosshatching business going on that just makes it look like an empty patch on the side of her head, where an ear is SUPPOSED to be.
Now, shame on you for expecting decent art critique from the giantbomb community. BUT, regardless... you're welcome!
looks nice. breasts kinda creepy and the fact that her face looks like those creepy japanese drawings that have been taking over the world and sickening me in the process, i cant say that i like it.
@iWonder: Well , you sure did take your time to say something :D , thanks for the critique . The drawing is kind of messy , later on I will post something better done , so I will wait for your commentary
