Very nice job!

Nice.

The head seems a tad wide and the mouth looks a bit odd to me, but otherwise I think it's very well done.

Cute! Is it hard to draw on a tablet?

It's really different. It's as you'd expect it to be: plastic on plastic, there's more slippage. But you know, you get used to it. After spending a day with this baby, I'm ready to tackle any future projects.

try putting a piece of paper over the tablet. It'll give you a little more realistic resistance.

Nice. Could use more/deeper shading. :nod:

deeper could work. i think the lack of shading is what makes it so cool though. it's different that what you'd expect to see.

Yeah, but with the lack of shading it borders on the cartoon-y, IMO.

I'm catching on to this stuff really really fast. With the drawing of Emily I took like 2 days trying to get everything perfect. I just sketched up a quick (and incomplete) cartoonish self-portrait of myself. in like 20 minutes.

I won't even bother putting up individual pics anymore, here's the link to my gallery:
