Trust is Unreliable

Description

............Arianna and Kosuke. First... Let's begin with what Arianna is holding. Weeelllllllll....I thought about this for awhile and as much as I would like to call it real wine, I think sparkling soda is okay. I kind of want to picture her as a wine drinker, but she's 18 and seriously, I hate alcohol.. it's hard for me to create a character that would drink I guess. I really wanted to create a "classy" image of these two.

:icondepressedonionplz: I don't think I managed that too well haha.. I do like the colors but there may be too much black..

//couldn't resist putting Kosuke in a suit...//

I really like Arianna's dress though. And I think I'm getting better with her hair. But seriouslyy, I know why manga-ka's and other artists say black hair is the hardest. =__=. Still, if Kosuke had brown hair it just wouldn't work.

I think these two look great together, and they are definatly a couple. Kosuke is forceful with Arianna, and she's forceful back. They fight constantly and always look mad at each other. They make a good team though. (Sakura seems to get stuck in the middle though ;_; )

These two aren't the typical cute couple but I adore them still haha.

I see a critique button so I shall take advantage of my premium membership and leave you one.

Okay, I'm going to focus mainly on Arianna since that is where I see most of the anatomy blips. Alrighty, her eyes are well drawn but the eyes are reversed. The eye that is supposed to be smaller is bigger and the eye that is supposed to be bigger is smaller. The farthest eye should be getting smaller since it's facing away from the viewer. Her face shape is confusing me somewhat. It's almost like a triangle at the bottom. I'm aware that manga art has sharp facial features but I don't think the extremely angular look is working for your style. It's casing the face to seem a bit squashed due to her big eyes. And the eye size is fine, I just think a softer, more oval shape would suit your characters better. Her shoulders, arms, and hand all look great. You nailed those body parts. Her torso and breasts are rather skinny. And something about her figure seems a bit off to me. It must be the lack of hip curves. Remember this; females have a hourglass shaped body. Kosuke... Kosuke. He's looking pretty good. The only thing I noticed with him is the his chin is pretty small. Remember: I think oval head shapes would suit your characters better and give their facial features more room. Now all that anatomy stuff aside, I'll mention a few things about the coloring. I see shading on Arianna's dress and hair and that's about it. I've told several other people this today: everything has shadows/highlights. And this is always caused by a light source whether it be a lamp beside you or a alien spaceship. When drawing people, it's always helpful to look at a photo reference to see where the shadows/highlights would fall. And shading will give your characters more dimension.

Other comments: DANG. I am seriously digging that hat of Arianna's. Very classy. The wine/sparkling soda glass is a nice touch.

I think you have potential and I hope I didn't sound rude in anything I said. I also hope you read all of that (cookie if you did!). And lastly, I hope this helps you. : )
