Well,these dolls are awesome.
BUT!

On the first one,I think the skirt isn`t really shaded.
and the tird one`s hair.
the top of it doesn`t look right to me.
it looks too dark.

And the new one isn``t really shaded.
Your just makeing lighting then that`s it.
Expecially with those tops on the new dolls.


I hope I helped!
Can`t wait to see the next dolls!

the first one was limited on how many colors i could have, considering it was for a patchso i couldn't do too much shading.

on the more current one it is shaded. o.o

antimaie, what you are doing is call scribble shading. Your dolls have no folds, and it makes it seen like there is simply a single ray of light. The hair is shaded okay, but the scribble shading makes it look a bit odd. The hair should also have more highlights.



Above are three white tops. One is pillow shaded, on if scribble shaded (but I'm being generous, scribble shaders usually done leave the fold under the bust), and one is shaded properly. I'm sure you can tell which is which. You can't just flood fill, then highlight a large scribble down the side.

I suggest you read through some more tutorials.

One last thing. This is very nit-picky of me, but since the base has a darker outline, so should the clothes. Also the hair - beside needing more shading - shouldn't be that colour. It should be a brown black, or a blue black. Not a grey black.

I'm sure after reading a few tutorials, you will improve. ^^

darn *snaps fingers* i thought i was getting better. not worse. oh well.
*goes to sit in emo corner with edward and don xD*

Yes, well, these two: and were your best so far.

I think you may need to add more shadows as well. That, or use different palettes. You don't need more then 2 colours for highlighting. One for outline, one for shadow, one for the basic flood filled colour, and 1 or 2 for highlights.

ok, i tried out some new tuts and here is the new doll:



base by: full of... helium

yeah the old base was saved on my compy b/c i used it so much, so i decided to use it.xD

[TheHayleyDoll]

Again, the hair needs more highlighting, but it's better then your previous few. ^^

Do you have the whole set saved? I can't find it anywhere on my computer. xD

[antimaie]

thanks (:

i know for sure that i have that pose, and i can look in my files to see if i have the entire thing ^^

[TheHayleyDoll]

I suppose even just that's okay. I'm going to re-release it after some editing.
