GAH;
thats awesome C:
The intermediate oekaki is not very active yet

Your always welcome to the beginner or advanced anytime C:

CRITSSSS:
The shadin' looks pretty accurate, but it looks like it was rushed or done sloppy. Make sure your shading is crisp (unless style varies) because shadin' makes a pic. Your lineart looks really nice w/ the tapering and stuff, but when u get too close to a line with those water colors (that you used for shading) it blurs the pic and makes it look messy. I really like your background. It's simple & dosent take away from the pic.

I look forward to seeing your next tryout.
Goodluck C:

This has been bugging me for a while now. The shading is VERY off considering where you've put the sun. The sun is your light source, and while its light would bounce off other things and onto the subject, generally that light is only on one side of the subject and leaves the rest in shadow.

I suggest considering that before drawing a sun in next time - a sky scene doesn't necessarily need it to be complete and you avoid a lot of trouble by just saying 'the light source is higher up'. Also, having it in yellow can cause some confusion between realistic and more stylised/cartoony themes - realistically a yellow sun would give out yellow light.

I'd say that's more on advanced level though, a lot of people don't experiment so much with shading until quite far on in their development. It's worth thinking about anyway, the longer you know of something the more time you have to try incorporating it gradually.
