Holy pie, did I really draw this?!?!?! Wow, this turned out better than expected for a change. I don't think I will do gradient shading too often though, it's really fiddly and time-consuming. I like the way everything turned out about this!
I used this tutorial: http://thazumi.deviantart.com/art/Gradient-Shading-Tutorial-76002002
So, I was drawing Kitty, then I realized that I haven't drawn her in so long I kind of forgot some of her details! So, I ended up with an earring-less, simplified shoed, wristbanded, fluffy-bangs version of Kitty. And you know what? I liked it, so I'm keeping this look! Yup, this is what Kitty officially looks like now! (You know what? I think this version would be easier to translate into a 3d model... Not that I'm planning on doing that or anything. *shifty eyes*)
On a last note, pen tool and drawing hands do not mix well for me.
Hope ya likey, 'cuz I sure do!

whoa O.o;; i love the coloring on this one! the pose is just totaly adorable ^^ She might be a pretty (sorry for this) smiple character (don't hit me T_T) but she is still realy awesome! i promis i have nothing against these so called "unoriginal" characters (i mean hello? why would someone have anything against them?) Making a fancharacter is hard so who cares if they looks alot like an original character? O.o i mean... just look at Shadow and Mephiles! O.o

That is so awesome. Her head is the best here. And I think that you should continually try new things and take new challenges. Because that's how you improve. The only not great thing in this pic is her arms, which look kind of rubbery and short to me.
Sorry if I am being to critistic and not constructive enough. *hidez from wrath*.

In a world where even scribbles get comments like, "omgZZZ!!!1!1! thatz so ArsOmE!!! *f@vZ*", people like you who can actually give constructive criticism are rare, and I appreciate it.
In the original sketch, every time I lengthened her arms, it looked funny, and if you imagine how long they'd be if she let them fall, they would still come down to about her knees. I agree that they could be a lot better, but that's why I chose to do it that way.

My goodness! Look what the doodles have done XD You have improved a WHOLE lot. I am very impressed n_n The shading is very neat also, gradient shading is very hard to work with from what I've learned. Lol I envy your patience and skill XD All I can say now is keep drawing, you can only get better 8D
