Artist's Comments
Name: Huang Meihui
Age: 16 Title(s): ??? Huang Meihui is perhaps one of the smartest students in her high school. She always makes the highest grade in all her classes. Her impressive academic performance has earned the respect of her teachers and classmates. Meihui is also one of the most athletic students in the school. She excels in multiple sports, including but not limiting to basketball, track and field, and Shaolin Kung Fu. She is Kiyoshi's archrival, but not an antagonist, let alone archenemy. Occasionally, Meihui would help Kiyoshi in her studies and combat training. (This is currently a WIP. Completion of the shading and background is underway...) By the way, the "pattern" is a watermark. It will be removed upon completion of this picture. EDIT #1 (03/25/09): Several edits have been made on the following: 1. The hair buns are completely redrawn and shaded. 2. The shading of the hair bangs are redone. 3. Highlights have been added to the hair. 4. The collar opening has been shifted slightly to the left. 5. Cloth folds are added to the chest area. 6. The "horizon line" has been added, but only temporarily.

 Looks awesome, really
 I like the colours and shading -- People fear and hate those they don't understand ~ k a l e i d o s c o p e ~  Lovely so far
-- I asked a wise man what convolution means, but his reply was rather convoluted itself, so I had to look it up... I've been wrestling with reality all my life, and I'm proud to say, I think I finally won out over it. ^__^x Thanks for the comment.
-- "The Melody of Logic will always play the notes of truth." - Ayumu Narumi, Spiral - Suiri no Kizuna Thanks for the comment.

what do you have in mind for the background, if you dont mind my asking? -- Not existing I foresee a modest traditional garden or balcony directly behind the character...
Behind the garden lies a massive cityscape featuring post-modern skyscrapers and buildings... The above is just a rough approximation. Thanks for the comment. -- "The Melody of Logic will always play the notes of truth." - Ayumu Narumi, Spiral - Suiri no Kizuna sounds good, just watch out that the background isn't too stylisitly different from the figure (it's something i see happen a lot, so just thought i'd menton it)
your welcome  -- Not existing  She is adorable. I love the detail on the hair, especially the strands of hair on her buns.
-- Art is the objectification of feeling. -Herman Melville My Stock Site: [link] That is one major challenge of that task.
Before I even begin doing the background, I have to revise the overall shading style, which I am currently doing right now... -- "The Melody of Logic will always play the notes of truth." - Ayumu Narumi, Spiral - Suiri no Kizuna |

Critiques
I think you're on the right track here! Your coloring, inking and anatomy look great, now just try and spice up the design a bit.
Your shading looks right on at this point in most places. You did a great job making the shadow fall from the hair on to her shirt giving it a "in front" feeling. Bah, not sure how to word that but I mean the depth. I also like the way that you shaded the yellow band on her arm to be set back a little from the rest of the shading making it stand up more. You can definitely tell that it is a raised band.
As for improvements I have a few touch ups that might help this piece along. Being that this is a WIP I'm won't be as critical (obviously
I will say that the anatomy looks spot on. At first I felt that the shoulders were a bit wide but upon measuring they appear to be right for a 3/4ish view. Maybe if you pushed her right shoulder back (her right, left if you are looking at her) a bit that would bring out the angle more and make her shoulders not seem as wide. Even though they are not, to me they still "look" that way and not everyone is going to measure to see that they are fine
I'm not sure what you have planned for the background so I am not going to comment on that at this time ^_^
Keep it up!
