I tried to do a full body pose here and add more of an atmosphere.
I really like this coloring technique and I think I'll try to work more with it.
Any questions, comments, critiques, or suggestions are welcome!

Interesting color on the skin tone and painting technique on the trees as well!

wow. you captured her perfectly!
The hair is just the right length, her expression slightly unsure, and the background and pose imply she's standing back from the happening events, which fits her to a T. Awesome job again ^^

Requested Critique: I like the feel of this piece, the natural colors the girl is wearing and the combination of browns and yellows carries the autumn look very nicely. You have a nice eye for colors! The frontal tree could use some texture maybe, it seems too smooth and sharp with the lines you used, although it is a very nice tree.
Your composition seems interesting and the anatomy is okay but could definitely use some improvement. Her arm on the tree feels way too short, if you look at your own arm, your elbow would be able to touch your hip, to be more clear, your elbow stops at your belly button. I also feel like her shoulders should be a little bigger. The jawline feels a bit too sharp, although I think your line art feels that way in general. Her skirt could use more folds so it flows better.
Annnd, that's all I can think of for the moment. This is a piece to be proud of, of course. Keep drawing!

Thank you so much for this critique.
Anatomy has never been my strong point so I really went on a limb doing a full body pose. I actually sized down her shoulders about 5 times, because the first time I gave her football shoulders, haha. But I do see what you're saying. I will try harder next time.
As for the line art, I'm trying to find a line art that is good and flowing. I'm not quite sure how to change that. I will look into some line art tutorials.
Again, thank you for critiquing my work.

NP! What program do you use? Sai is pretty smooth with lineart, I'm not very familiar with photoshop, I don't have steady hands to use that haha.
When I first started looking to improve my anatomy I was suggested to draw by heads. [link]
And that helped me a little. Shoulders and what not aren't the best with me too. XD Sometimes you have to look away from your art so you don't get tunnel vision and get upset. You can always can update something later~

I do use Sai, haha.
Yeah, I tried working with heads but it never quite worked for me.
I'll probably try that again soon.
I know what you mean about that. I'm thinking of instilling a rule to walk away from my art for a day, and then come back to it and finish it up before posting. Because it always seems like the next day I can see everything I forgot. >.<

Hmm, then think about rounding certain objects. Like, I know we both draw anime and such where things are simplified but maybe like rounding the chin may help things look less sharp etc
