First entry! I based of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Any feedback/critque is greatly appreciated!

Saw on the Kalon FC that you were looking for some feedback and thought I'd offer some to you? (Plus at least here it's easier to find than dig through posts). Now I'm not a great designer myself compared to some others, but I do have some helpful tips.

I think the concept you have was really cool as I like that movie quite a lot.

Now mostly from what I can see (due to pixels being not filled in/discolored) that you used the fill bucket tool which I'd say just ignore it like it never existed as it might be quick, but it leaves things looking sloppy in a sense as not everything is filled properly + it's actually leads to having white/grey pixels from the black line-art pop out a lot.

-Try the blending tool (it''ll help add to the design and make things seem whole and not pieces pushed together)
-More body/life to the hair like waves, strands, less jagged edges and do round, flowing edges for that hairstyle
-Add details (don't just stick to a solid color on solid color

Not best tips, but I hope they help a little and just keep trying you'll get better (I still think it's pretty good, I still have a hard time with hair and roses are impossible for me to draw)

The rose is definitely a great idea for a Beauty and the Beast shine! I think I have to agree a little on the solid colors - even something as simple as adding a little bit of a gradient to the base or the yellow can make a really big difference. :) Sometimes a lot more than it seems like! I'd try playing around with that - and I think you could do more with the dress-like patters on the body and tail too. Her dress is pretty elegant but it's also not just one shade of yellow - it has some areas that are darker and lighter and with a bit of a white accent with the underskirt (I think that's what that's called? The bottom/underneath anyway) that you can see when she's dancing/moving. And yeah adding a few darker lines (like a darker brown) in the hair would add a lot more depth too (notice how an artist like ♠Trollish♠ does it). It's a pretty simple thing to do but it's crazy how much it adds!
