Arrow keys/space just to look through images - my text critique is in this Instructions box bc I'm lazy haha Inciting some major critique-ception lol! Really though, the original image was really cute and had lots of potential so it was very fun to look at others' suggestions and try to add onto it even more! After taking a look at EH's original, Ipzy's critiqued version, and Starry's additional notes, I tried to combine all of their advice along with some of my own modifications! The biggest change, of course, is the alteration of the pose. I tried to emulate the original irl, but I couldn't really make heads or tails of what she was supposed to be doing ^^; and I didn't like that the hands were hidden, so I just used the pose as a jumping off point for a similar-looking one! I tried to make the line of action clearer in it, and give her the look of skipping or spinning. I sought to be more obvious with the joints and added more wrinkles like SE suggested, remain relatively proportional like Ipzy did (although I did exaggerate her legs), and keep a consistent light source (I did get a bit lazy though, so it's not perfect) For my own critiquing points, I always like a sense of specificity in my art, so I decided to make the dress more distinct by giving the ribbon texture and having the dress itself be looser and more flowy in the upper body area. I'd also like to say that, while it can be challenging, foreshortening is your friend, so don't be afraid of it! In terms of coloring and shading, I think it could have done with some more contrast, so I tried to throw that in. I also included a little bounce lighting so that the colors interacted with one another more, although it's hard to see at its size in Scratch. Also, I added stronger and more general highlights, as Ipzy only added them on her hair previously. The changing of the necklace to a choker was just so it didn't crowd the neckline due to the way that I drew that pose, it could go either way really! I didn't bother with a background sobs but I did like Ipzy's! Like SE said though, the character didn't fit in too well with it somehow. I tried to be accurate anatomy-wise; actually I wasn't a big fan of the shoulders in Ipzy's, it was probably just off perspective-wise compared to the chest, though. Also, the hips were shifted a bit far to the right, hurting the fluidity of the pose imo.
