...Well, it started out as a simple card idea and ended up as one of the best inked pieces I've ever done
I could be happier with the "Happy," but there's no turning back now 
I lowkey see a missed opportunity to make the Lil horn of the mask a replacement for the a 
here's some art that I have been working on and off of because I'm too lazy
edit:this is my oc mericelle
The inking is very well done, it looks great! 
also I love the outfit of mericelle! Especially the color
I made this piece recently, though I think I’ll experiment with environments in art for a bit to find what I like for composition and colors
Towa otonashi (my favorite character from the game
)I'm still so sad over tadc's ending 
so here's some fanart of Jax (that my friend requested lol!!)
(I kinda had artblock drawing this... )
I've been working on an idea of a comic for a while now and I finally have the first strip!!
And here's the ref sheet of peppermint (the mailman)
guys!! this is a test drawing I did because I haven't made art in a *long* time. No glaze, I just want to hear your honest opinions on whether this is good or not, and where I can improve. Thanks 
(and don't mind the background.. I don't feel like spending another 3 hours on this lol)
Well, she’s instantly recognizable, so plus for that. Nice work on the fabric drape in the cape and skirt. Ideally, you would have some of that in the sleeves and boots as well. Good shading on the legs, especially below the knee.
I think that your next drawing should focus on getting the proportions exactly right. It’s hard for me to judge in this drawing which features were exaggerated deliberately and which just wound up that way.
thank you so much for taking the time to point all of that out! I'll definitely work on the things you mentioned 
The rendering is REALLY AMAZING!!! And I love the pose you chose I think the things I would recommend improving is...
The hands!! (I struggle with hands too) using a reference of someone holding a staff or something like that might help!
More detailing in the hair!!adding a few more loose strands could definitely enhance the pose 
adding darker shadows in the shadows!! I dont know if this is necessary but maybe adding darker shadows into the corners of already existing shadows could enhance the shading!! 
Adding some blue (ambient lighting)!! Airbrushing some light blue into the center or tips of the shadows for the white parts of her clothes to add more colors and keep it from looking to gray
Your art skill is way beyond mine so I really don't have anything else to say!!

Thank you so much for all of the tips!! I will keep that all in mind 
I would like to add that ambient lighting doesn’t need to be blue, it depends on the environment! Especially the sky, which is why in most cases the ambient light is blue. It occurs because the diffused lighting is a lot less intense, and more evenly spread out, than the main lighting, so while it doesn’t make it much lighter, it can change the color!
On the topic, bounce light is created when the light bounces from an object and hits the shadow, which can lighten or change the color of the shadow. This is true for things like light colors next to skin (lightens the skin shadow), a light object next to another light object (you can see it in paper, it should lighten the shadow), or even skin next to skin (adding saturation or lightness in the shadow) creating the difference in color for the shadows
If you aren’t sure how to use them though, you don’t need to force yourself to apply it if you aren’t quite sure yet, just take your time and learn new things. I hope that helps, even if it wasn’t exactly new advice. If any of this isn’t true or I’m missing anything, please feel free to correct me!
Anyway, I made an artwork recently. I’ve been dissatisfied with my compositions recently, so decided to go for a more expressive “camera” angle, which is under the water!
