                  Funny you have a lot of creativity there, you need to bring it together into a project.

                  Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

                          @merri-bun Hi Merri, your work looks awesome, love the color version, it really lively! like the style, its kinda Graphic. (I don't want to be picky but notice that the left breast is a tiny bit bigger than the right.)

                              (On phone so doing @ stuff seems to be not working )

                              1. Thanks sorry if my work is graphic I'f it's too much please let me know and I'll keep in mind to post more vanilla stuff. Also are you referring to the mermaid or the bird lady with the uneven breasts?

                              2. Thanks man! And the only tip I could give that might be helpful is be confident in your lines. Like try to make as few strokes as you can (like don't go back and fourth over your lines in a sketchy manor just do one big SWOOP) also there's a really good video about line weight in the character creation lesson ! Hope that's helpful .

                                @merri-bun greyscale is well done, but unless somehow it's intended, coloring have some issues, think you have to avoid neon colors (max saturation), always. Lighter points go to less saturated values, most saturated values are on mid tones.

                                  @merri-bun Its refreshing that you post graphic stuff. I love it! about the breasts, i meant the mermaid. XD

                                      @Alberto-M yea coloring is deff not my strong suit , i use this overlay method to color and i feel like everything too dark unless i use the most saturated colors i can find. ill try to use less saturation though ! thankyou !
