I'm no artist so I can't give any hints, I'm dumb >.< Lol. Cute character though. I like how u did his eyes.

thank you X D. ahhaa i forgot to do his eyes in the next picture lol

Flipping between the two i'd have to saw this one looks evil, i think the heavy shading on the eyes are what's scaring me.

haha thank you XD i kind of ike it lol

Hmmm, that's an interesting technique on the hair, thin shade lines showing the direction the hair is flowing. *steals that idea*

haha thanks X D

I like this! Like a few other characters I know of.. I would kiss this characters, passionately! #^^#

hehe .. x D your silly. and thank you.

You could say that but if I really like what I see I say exactly how I feel.

i aprpciiate that : } thank you

I really don't know how to say this, but uhm. I don't think either looks better, but they do look like they'd be better suited to different styles of picture? Like individual picture backgrounds would influence which one worked better, but as a blank busty thing like this they're pretty much equal. If that makes sense 8D;

it does X D ahah i did these for a friend to ask them which style shading they would have preferred and thank you muchly : }

working on expressions usually helps getting away from realism I find... ;)
makes a huge difference

i think i know what you mean ahaha.
merci

I personally like this one of the two more. I'm not sure why... it just looks sorta cleaner, better to me, I guess. :P Nicely done on both though x3

thank you. to be honest the other one seems cleaner X d i don't get it lol.
