Description
Ooh pretty =3Today is day 3 of Kataang Week! And it's theme is "Reunited" so I decided to go with the scene from "Crossroads of Destiny" where Aang dies and Katara brings him back. That's my approach for being "reunited". ^^
After a devistating loss, Katara is reunited with her love.
Yet something about this bugs me... Maybe it's Aang.. Don't bug me about his arrow. I didn't have room to draw it. XD; It's obviously cut off by the top of the page/screen.
I hope you guys like this. I worked on the lineart last night, and I just spent an hour or so coloring it. I know an hour isn't very long, but for me it's as long as I can take unless it's totally... not as simple as it is...
I dunno.Katara, Aang, Avatar, and ultimately KATAANG (c) Bryke, because their word is law!

I love Katara's hand, but it looks a bit "simple". Instead of adding the line to the bottom of the fingers, try shading the joints underneath them instead. Fingers bend at slightly sharp angles as well, and the thumb is roughly 2/3rds the size of the index finger. This one seems a bit bigger. Try adding nails to fingers as well. They're a bit difficult at first, but after a while they're fun.
Her neck seems a bit thick and short as well. But honestly, necks are pretty easy to correct. I don't know how long the lineart took you, but taking your time with it and looking over the "finished" piece many times might help you.
I hope I didn't sound mean.

but cartoons don't normally do that. not kids cartoons anyway. Besides I've tried that. It always turns out ugly.

I'm sorry dear, but, I don't see any improvement here at all.
Yet let's start this off differently: tell me exactly what you like better on this than your earlier works, and what you tried to do differently.

Aww! Someone else said I was getting better before I even lined it.. ;~;
Well... It's bigger, and I did that thing with the face where you draw two lines on it, one virtically and one horrizontally... And maybe it's the expressions or... I DON'T KNOW!

You didn't use your own hand for reference, I suppose? Again? Gosh, sometimes I don't know why I even bother.
I won't start on facial anatomy, for you know that this is absolutely wrong, yet in a way I assume that you just went for the "anime" kind of look there. Even for an anime, you placed their mouths by far too low - they hardly have chin left.
Try some lashes on the eyes next time. It will always add up to every expression you're going for, and watch out with the shoulders - again; please just practise on real life anatomy. You're not improving on the points you have to improve on, and that's a very, very sad thing to say, since I'm only assuming that you've spent the past weeks practising.

I did.
I remember when you'd post comments to agree with the cuteness or whatever... I liked it better when you weren't better than me at drawing... *points to my journal* I can't take it anymore... I'm tired of trying... I'm not good, I know. and now I'm just gonna stop.

Aww kid; this is just regular every day critique! I mean, gosh, I'm 16 - if I can do this, you can, too. When I wasn't "better" than you, I was 13/14. Yet I took the critique then, took the advise, and practised my ass off. I STILL get dead-on critiques on school all the time, which is good; it helps me to improve more. And even though my newest deviations are sucky as hell, I've grown to be the youngest yet best student of my class, and got awarded for that, even though I feel like a horrible artist. But I improved. Just because I swallowed that critique and practised. A lot.
Stopping is... not the answer. It never is.

well that's where we differ. I never got critique from anyone but my art teacher at school. Everyone else said I was really good and they often said "I can't draw like that" or "I wish I could draw like that".
I know...

You know that I'm not trying to be mean to you, ever, but I'm sorry; you're not good at drawing. Rembrandt, a true icon, he could very well consider himself good at drawing. Compared to that, hardly anyone on this site can.
Yet, the critique from your teacher should be most appreciated; why would you ignore that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know you're not mean. And I know I'm not that good.. But you don't have to agree with me...
I didn't ignore it, especially since he's mostly just critiqued me on my projects. I barely showed him any of my normal drawings.

Well, I'm sure that you've learned out of those critiques there, as well. If you can take the critiques you receive on dA, and put them to work the same way you did with the art teacher, you know that it will take hard work; yet it should work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
..huh? I never said anything about putting my dA stuff to work with my art teacher... I said I never showed him any of this stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...you misinterpret that sentence. WE, some watchers of you, have given you critiques here, and if you'd take those the way you took your teacher's advise on the projects, it could work out. But you never do that.

Soo lovely! I like the emotion on Katara's fave. Very sweet.
