  Just keep practicing. I hate drawing with a tablet to so I understand how frustrating it is when the drawings don't match the same standard you have with pen and paper ones.

  I have to agree with Cide, and I don't think she was being overly mean with her crit.
  It's unrealistic to expect only positive comments, and saying that the lighting/anatomy/proportions are all off aren't insults.
  
  Regardless, I think Yuminia took the criticism well.
  If anything, you're the one getting offended, Byte.

  Actually, I think Cide could've been a little bit nicer.
  
  Instead of saying, there's nothing good about it. Why not say, that's a good start, here's a good website to help you strengthen your technique?
  
  That didnt say it was bad, but it also didn't say it was fantastic, you know what I mean?
  
  Sugarcoating things does not help the person make progress, but downright insulting their work doesn't encourage anyone at all. In fact, it makes them wanna give up. You gotta be a little optimistic when helping people, even if they're slow learners.
  
  Constructive criticism:

  Everything, like Homicide said, is kinda melty droopy.
  
  I'd suggest playing a bit more with lineart first before trying a sort of painted effect.
  
  Sharper lines.
  
  Pen tool instead of brush/spray/whatever-you're-using?

  .-. I'd advise lines. Never tell yourself you can't do this. Drawing takes years of practice and you can't be good at anything unless you practice.

  everything looks like it is melting and it also has big fat soulless eyes that make no sense (among other things.)

  
  
  

  Quote from Cide;193064:

  it's hard to critique something when there is nothing right about it.
  
  i'll just leave this here.

  
  
  See the difference?
  
  Though I think Yuminia handled it quite well.
