Windmill

This is very very good!!!

First off, I'll have to say that this piece is very well coloured and very appealing to look at! One thing I notice is that the sky on the upper left hand corner seems rather dark in comparison with the rest. Sure, it's farther from the sun's rays and therefore SHOULD be darker but there doesnt seem to be a good enough gradation as the sky goes farther and farther from the sun. It's just light blue...then darker blue in the corner.

Another thing is the yellow outlines you put onto the characters and objects. Obviously you intend those outlines to be from the sun's rays brightening the surface. The yellow outlines on the turbines and the 'windmill thing' is no problem, considering that they have rather metallic surfaces on which the light rays WOULD be reflecting. BUT I dont think it makes much sense putting a yellow outline on the girl's jeans and around her skirt; they're not metallic surfaces or any kind of surface that would possess the ability to reflect ligh in such a manner.

I personally dont like such pinkish looking skin but since you have that in virtually all of your manga pieces, that's probably just how you like it and therefore I can't change that. What I CAN say is that in this piece, the way you coloured the skin is not as smooth as your other pictures. Her skin seems a bit scratchy.

I'm still scratching my head as to why the lower half of her legs aren't showing. That must be some REALLY tall grass!! lol. And on the note of anatomy, I find her stomach area too elongated in comparison to her lower body. Also, I think the upper body is too large in comparison to the legs, but im not 100% certain about that point.

My final thing to point out is the skirt. We can clearly see that the wind is blowing erratically but there's something unusual about the way the skirt is blowing in the wind...the skirt seems to be blowing out in too 'orderly' of a manner which doesn't match the erratic wind. The form that the skirt takes just seems too regular and doesnt seem to me like it's blowing at all; the way it's blowing seems unnatural. This is probably due in part to the fact that the ends of the skirt are so rounded off and the skirt seems rigid. Another thing is that the skirt is lacking a little bit of 3-dimensionality. The skirt seems to be facing us directly as opposed to facing us a little more to the side.

Of course this is just me trying to pick out every little problem, but overall, this piece is fantastic!!!

Sorry for me taking so long to write this. I can see that I have 3 more pieces from you to critique but I'm so busy that I may take a long time to finish those also, but fear not, I will do them!!
