Lemma Soft Forums

I was getting very unattached to my sprites, wishing they looked more
a~n~i~m~e
But I'm very uncomfortable with my art skill and haven't shaded anything in what feels like a decade. Im not done with the "anime" version, actually I'd like to try and rig it up to live2D, but I was hoping for constructive criticism and tips to make it look nicer. I'm pretty proud of it but I know there's still work to be done...

hey the 2nd picture looks much better than the first, I think you are on the right track, maybe you can add more shadow(both soft and hard) to produce a bit of contrast, also I would really like to see at least one of the hands, whenever I don't see them (unless reasonable) I feel like the artist has just dodged it... we all know hands are a bit tricky :p Good luck!
