Gift For My Twin Sister =MikiClover
She had a tryout for a dance team and she was able to get in the team so this is a congratulation gift for her. I Tried to finish this as quickly as possible. since i dont want to be awkward giving it late. it is a surprise gift for her. she seemed so surprised when i gave this to her. glad she liked and hope you like it too :>

i would like if you go to her page and give some congratulation message to her.

and that girl in the picture is obviously mikiclover herself is a model. its just she has more darker hair.

sorry for the crappy BG too
and the scanner messed up the quality a bit.

First time ever to critique~
even though few days have past since we made the promise, i will write it .

First of all, thank you so much for this wonderful gift, sister!
Drawing/coloring this without me noticing should have been so hard since we are always together. Thank for your hard work!

even though scanner seem to minus this piece's quality a bit, coloring of this piece is really pretty. using just few colors, you made great gradation in clothes, ribbons, and laces making it look delicate. purposely left white parts in the drawing are showing nice contrast between light and dark. except, back of her hair should have been colored more darker, adding more depth to the drawing. and some white spaces in long ribbons are seem to be too randomly selected that some parts are unreal to be left white. but overall piece look bright and colorful, which is perfectly fine.

sometimes, people purposely draw crappy looking background, not in complete pattern or order, not in strait line, etc. so i think this background is fine. puffy looking circles around her makes drawing look really cute. except, i think choice of adding stripes to this piece wasnt right. i dont think stripe would match good to flowy piece like this. but your effort of adding background to each piece is great!

anatomy is one of the hardest thing to get right when drawing. but you did really good job on this piece! one thing that is off is her neck, which seem little too long, making her arm and shoulder looking stiff. but other parts of the body look just fine.

pose of this girl let people easily notice that she is dancing, which is really nice. also by looking at her motion and outfit, it also let us know that she is dancing a lyrical(ballet-ish) dance. but the thing is, lyrical dance usually include pointed/stretched toe instead of flat feet so this pose might have looked better if you have drawn her right foot in more pointed/stretched way and also by setting her left foot on her toe. so sorry to be picky on this part, ik only dancers know about these. but knowing little detail makes drawing look more real even though its in anime style! i really want to say you did really good job on her hands though! its perfect!

sorry for the real long critique. lol
hope it helps!
