It occurred to me that folks keep saying that Miki isn't dark skinned, she's just tanned. And tanned implies tan lines. So...

Careful Miki, sunburn on the tops of your feet is the worst!

Lovely to see her happy and confident without her bandage

Very nicely done. I love the shading work and the extra attention you paid to the tanlines.

Sunburn on the bottom of your feet is worse.

I have to admit, the shades are very well done.

Teach me Senpai.

Assuming you were being serious...it's all in layering. Shade values are painted in a dark brown (in this case) on a Multiply layer at 15-25% opacity, depending upon the piece. Highlights (in this case, untanned skin) are painted in white on a Screen layer, also at lower opacities. Like so:

Base colors: Shadows: Highlights: With additional layers for hair highlighting & shading, blush on her cheeks, background, etc.

I'm serious.

My shades are fucking bad even if I try my best to do it.

But thanks for the tips, I appreciate it.

That's just absolutely wonderful. great work.

The only criticism I have is that Miki's skin tone seems a bit too close to Suzu's.

Which is weird, given what their base colors started as.

But it's easy enough to alter...

Shy Hanako biting her lip.

Your color and shading on this one is awesome and I love how you did the scars. It's also nice to see a more realistic small breast size that isn't just anime boob.

There are two minor critiques I have though.

The line she has midface, it's hard to tell if that's supposed to be her nose or a stray hair at first.

I don't think the lip biting comes across that well in the picture either. Admittedly, it is hard to do in an anime style where character's aren't usually drawn with lips. Maybe you could show some teeth or color the top lip so it's more obvious she's supposed to be biting the bottom.

Good job buddy, I like this art, really.

Great stuff!!

For once in her life, Rin was actually somewhat discreet, and she didn't tell Emi why the purple pillow was her favorite. Just that she couldn't use it.
