Oh yeah, that looks a lot better.


Here's some more stuff you could fix. ^^

( Click to show/hide )

Is it just me or does darker hair look better on her. xD
Light blue = light shadow
Blue = dark shadow
Green = still some stuff outside the lines (check the pic for more of these)
Red = Those lines are blurred, sharpen them and maybe make them darker as well
Black = needs to have a small black line added. ;P
Yellow = Remove those bumps, so that you've got one smooth curve.

I'm looking forward to the new stuff.

would you guys help me or point me where to add shadows (in first image...btw I haven't colored it perfectly...so if you have some ideas what color would be perfect for clothes plz say it ), and what colors should I use in second one (it's the same character and she is wearing archery clothes)

Some rough shading to show where shadows should be

Needs some shadows across the chest, but I can't tell how much, it looks almost flat???
Depending on how much shadows there are, you can change it quite a bit...
Adding some shadows to the clothes will make them look more crinkly, which makes it look more natural

Shadows look best when built up using layers, so start off with low opacity shading, then add another layer where the shadows are darker, etc. Then you can merge the layers and use a blur filter to smooth the layers out. After that you can use the burn and dodge tools to add deep shadows and highlights.
