This is my first full body digital drawing of an OC of mine, and I was hoping for some critiques! Maybe on shading or poses? Advice is always appreciated! My OC/art blog is @itchydoodles! Thank you!!
ooo, i really like this!! i love the colors, especially the yellow coat and how it contrasts the darker colors. This character is also super cute, and the way you draw bodies/anatomy is really good! the shading is good to, though it can seem a little pillow-shaded in some parts, where the shading clings to the edges. This can work if the light source is straight in front of the character, but it’s a slight bit inconsistent. also, the shading on the hair/tail looks like it was done with an airbrush/looks blurrier than the cell-shading of the rest of the drawing, which is a bit of a weird contrast. i also like the pose, but it does look a little stiff. i suggest using a line of action when doing poses, even just simple poses like this one. it helps the pose seem more alive! here’s a cool reference i found of lines of action: https://line-of-action.com/article/gesture-basics-1-line-of-action/
