Me and good ol' have a project in the works.
We're trying to challenge ourselves to go outside of our happy little comfort boxes and work on different things.
I ask that I'm critiqued to the best of your abilities. How can I change the art to make it look more like the style I was going for? How can I improve it in general without affecting the style?

First challenge was color which I still haven't gotten to yet.
Mine is yellow.
Hers is orange.



Next is style. We want to create a scene which feels like it's been ripped straight from the styles we'll be borrowing. We're going for accuracy here and trying to remove all trace of our atypical style. Otherwise it wouldn't be much of a challenge.

First up is anime
1 Miyazaki
2 Big eyed, small mouth style like Suzumiya Haruhi, Ouran High School Host Club. (You know, average anime)
3 Anime of choice but it must be completely different from above two.

Other potential rounds....
Art movements
American Cartoons/media
Classical artists
Current artists
Realism
