Mmm I like it, it's very well made =) but I think something could be better, I'll point it out in case you wanna work on it:
1) Well, obviously the background is missing but honestly it wasn't so prominent when it was left in white, because your attention would center on the colors and drawing... but now that the empty background is colored ... It kinda brings to your attention that there's no background xD, specially the frames with intense colors like the baby blue orange and green ... I think you better either draw them or go back to white backgrounds xD;
2) Next I noticed there's no shadows ... almost at all just the typical one below the jaw ... This combined with the colored background makes the picture look really awkward for some reason...
3) Here's a bonus; you don't really need it but I just discovered this and I am doing the same mistake you are doing here. I was studying Karbo's and manzi's pics the other day and I honestly haven't used this myself because it looks difficult but here, I'll share it with you because you're one of my favorite artists: It's about colors; there's more than just color and shadow in coloring a picture, there's tones; colors are never really uniform because light is never uniformly distributed and the human eye understands and is used to this; in other words, even if a body part is facing just one direction towards the sun and no shadow is being casted on it, it will still look wierd if you paint all that skin the exact same tone of color... Obviously we have predominant shadow and light areas, where all the tones you use will be darker or lighter, but using a single color for that shadow is a mistake you and me both are making and it can radically alter the quality of the picture.
True I didn't shadow or draw background as I was intending to at the beginning... But I felt lazy at the end... (thats what I hate the most about myself) And just threw punch of colors to run away from doing backgrounds -____-
Now I feel ashamed for not being up to the task... *sigh*
Thanks mate... I should really push myself harder if I want to be a better artist.. slacking off will not get me anywhere!!
