As you requested critique from #Traditional-Media on critic event, I would love to be here for your so I hope you dont mind it
About your work, we have few things here:
-You can try draw her shoulder a bit bigger dear to make it looks balance with her head. (Also you may try draw her waist a bit thinner just to make her looks more pretty if you want dear
-You may try draw her hands (DA has a lot of great tutorials about hands).
-If she is standing on water likes that, her dress will be flow on top of water dear.
-The water seems a bit down from the left side.
-Try to take more time to draw grass dear and the lower part of grass is always darker than the top.
-Because it manga/anime drawing therefore the moon doesnt need to be exactly real dear. You can draw the moon without these blue dots and try to use compass to draw it rounder (after use compass, draw free lines cover on it to make it looks natural).
-If you shade the background, try to use thinner lines and make it full dear because if you do just a part of the background and leave quite part like that. It will look like 'rushing' work dear. (Except when you draw background with some kins of patterns dear).
-Contrast is needed in this piece dear or not it will make the picture looks flat.
-And I saw your comment said you wanted to have tips about shading. I would love to tell you this
They are just some tips & I hope it can help anyway dear
Thank you for joining our group event
Take care,
Oh wow, thanks so much for the advice I really find it helpful. I hope you don't mind me asking:
What exactly is contrast ^^' Is that drawing the lighting and darkness in the picture?
Oh and what I meant by shading (I suck at this) I mean I'm really bad with the light and showing the shadows on an object, my lighting is very inconsistent because of this. I know there are a lot of tutorials on DA but I find they didn't really help much and I was wondering if you happen to have an advice on lighting? A lot of people tell me to 'find a lightsource' but I still have problems with lighting ><'
Also when you color, do you layer it in one place or you 'spread' and make a bigger circle? ^^'
By the way, I understand if my sentences don't make sense ^^'
Once again thanks a lot for helping and also for the late reply
Cassie

Haha, I don't think I'll win since I saw some really awesome entries
My friend looked at it, he thought your character looks like Belle from Beauty and the Beast
Have a nice day. Thanks for adding this to your collection
Cassie
But I think what I have trouble the most would be the lighting,knowing where my light source is and how dark to make shadows
Do you have any advice for lightsources? ^^' I'd appreciate it.
