So, what do you want me to critque it on? Makes it a little harder if people just post a link but I'll give it a go.
The first thing that comes to mind is that the main girl's hips are too big. It could just be the angle, but her butt looks super huge when compared to her waist and the difference shouldn't be that big. But I do like all the detail you did on the background, can see how that took you four days to do.
But overall, what is the picture supposed to be about? Is this about a character and you're showing their story in the background? Or, well, what? Her cape screams superhero but I don't think that's it, the piece still feels a bit unfinished (have you ever tried inking your pictures BTW? The colored pencils look a little childish and inking could help out there).

She's like this because eveything that has happened is swallowing her up. She is supppose to be ab-normal and it's suppose to be colored like that. She never truely had a chance to grow up and actually live. She's stuck between adult and child. she's been a "super hero" since she actually could do something. Thank you on the imput. ^^
And I'll take critism on any thing.

I'll do a quick character bio so you can possibly help me.
Hazel
Green Eyes
Brown Hair
Runewitch
She's a sweet person but can have a stuck up personality if she thinks she's better than someone. She gets jealous really easy and is a little trampy (like you couldn't tell already...). She uses her BoomBroom to blast the competition and get a nice flight places. Since she is a runewitch she used the Arrow Rune, which means any design of hers must include arrows. Costume change recommendations are appreciated because I'm trying to expand her wardrobe.

Well, I have no idea how her dress and sleeves are staying up to start with (magic? reminds me a little of this actually) so maybe you should add some straps to the dress and nix the sleeves all together? Other than that I'm not sure what else to suggest that's practical yet still trampy (maybe you could play with some open back designs?).

Lol. Don't need practicality. I'm making a manga. It's a fantasy world.

First of all, love it! I agree with you there, it IS a fantasy world, and the practicality of the outfit doesn't really matter too much, as long as it basically makes sense. Colors flow well enough for me, and I like the overall picture. Have you considered more in depth for the arm-warmers? Like, more shading where the tips of the arm-warmers end. Right now, it looks a bit geometrical, and it may make the arms look more wider than it actually seems. Everything else seems about fine. I like the arrow idea too!
About the wardrobe expanding, how about using the same colors but making it a more flirtatious but less *cough* trampy design? A dress flared and cut to about the middle thigh, but cute and not exactly showing TOO much skin, with spagetti straps or none. :D

So, I've been drawing for about 6 years now. A little over six. But anyways, I'm still trying hard to improve, so any critique is fine. I especially need critiquing on the bodies. They need some serious help. :C

Here are more of my recent pictures that I made. Any help with the body or how I could have made the picture better is highly appreciated. <3

Oops, missed this one, sorry about that!
First picture, the muscle on the arm looks a bit strange, even if it was really defined the line would be different since only one of the upper arm muscles (think it's the bicep) should be visable from that angle. The person is a tad short, full grown adults are 7-8 heads tall, I was taught it was about 7.5, and your person is only six heads tall. And the kneecap is a really strange shape on the pants but that's about all I see in the picture (not sure about the folding on the pants but since they look like tight pants it's feasible they wouldn't have many folds).
Second picture, she looks a little wide, almost a little chunky, and I suspect that wasn't the look you were going for. The crotch of the pants looks really big/super defined as well, since the crotch of the pant is connected to the pant leg it doesn't need it's own outline or shading (usually, but we won't go there ). Also, I looked at some of your other pictures as well, but it seems like you draw tight pants with thick legs a lot, maybe you should try experimenting with other pant styles and folding for a bit of variety? It could be fun anyway, and these are all suggestions so don't worry if you really don't like them!

THREAD REVIVAL.

So I drew this to try and get myself out of a bought of depression last night. It worked, and I liked how it came out.

Tell me what you guys think: http://shizuka-kurogane.deviantart.com/ ... -168667542

Since it's just a pencil drawing there isn't a ton to critique but the perspective on this is a bit wonky. One the upper body/above the waist, great, all is fine. Below the waist? Ehhh, it looks like she kinda twisted away and, when I tried standing up like that, it felt awkward. I suspect you did that because drawing feet from behind is tough but it would have been better if you had drawn the upper body facing more in the same direction. And I like the wind in her hair, very romantic looking.

[Shizuka Kurogane]

I felt the perspective was odd too, but I couldn't find a way to fix it. It's kind of like a mid-change-in-position thing, but yeah, it does feel a bit awkward.

Normally I start at the head, but this time I started from the feet, which is probably why it looks a bit off.

I've never really done anything with a different perspective other than the person facing me when I draw. I've been playing around with some stuff lately to see what I need practice with.

But thanks :]

[wandering-dreamer]

I figured it was probably something you noticed towards the end and by that point it is a pain to re-draw half a figure.
And you're welcome, sorry I'm the only one doing critiques though since I know I'm rather blunt about them.

[Shizuka Kurogane]

I appreciate bluntness, because it helps to figure out exactly what you need to fix.

And yeah, I drew this between 11-12 at night, so I wasn't paying too much attention. xD

Idk, this looked fun. Umm...would anyone mind critiquing this? I'm not sure if a couple things might be off...like his right foot(from his point of view) is bothering me but I'm not sure why. >.< Scratch that...his entire right leg just bothers me.

[wandering-dreamer]

His leg looks a little strange but I think it's the folding in his pants (and the foot also looks a bit odd, I can't tell if it's supposed to be a little bit behind the left foot or raised a bit off the ground). But to me the right arm looks stranger, the foreshadowing makes his arm look all balloon-y and his hand should have a bit of shading on it for all the lines. I really like the coloring you did there, copics can be so tedious yet you managed to get the details on the grass and dragon done pretty well.

Ahh, thank you. Yeah I see what you're talking about with the folding. I think I just made the lines too thick. As for the shading of his balloon arm (lol) the picture turned out a lot lighter than the original, so I guess the shading is a lot less apparent. I was afraid of over-shading at the time because I was like "AHH LIGHT SOURCE WHERE IS IT??" but I can totally see how to fix THAT now xDD Thank you VERY much, I was BSing the grass : 3

This one is really nice. It has a great composition which is really important in studio art.

It might be just me but the picture looks a tadbit blurry but I'd imagine that would be more of an issue with the scanner than the actual picture. Anyway, the composition is pretty good but I would've liked some more negative space on the left hand side (where his hand it pointing at) and his right elbow seems a bit low for human anatomy (of course he doesn't seem to be human so you could write it off as that). Like the use of the simple background and how it's lit up by the lighting.
