@otakufangirl:

Thank you for the encouragement, it really helps to hear things like that sometimes.

I am sorry for not saying more, I'm a bit preoccupied right now. But seriously, thank you.

@moonlit dream:

Thanks for the advice. I actually still have the original pencil sketch, so if I get a second I'll defiantly give your suggestions a shot.

Seriously, thank you for the constructive criticism, I really appreciate it. And sorry for not typing more, I've already done one extraneous response today.

@:

Thanks, I really do appreciate it. (I should probably tell this to everyone else too...)

Incidentally, I've apparently already started taking your advice. For some reason for this I decided to leave the pencil sketch alone and just trace it in GIMP. If I get some free time I'll probably try playing with the sketch like you suggested and so if I can at least improve on some of the things everyone mentioned.

And no, if doesn't sound horrid. I admittedly hadn't seen it that way before, but new perspectives rock.

And seriously, thank you for the constructive criticism. I just hope I can do something with it.

Looks good! ^_^
For practice with wrinkles on clothing, start out simple, then build off of that. ^_^ Or, look at your on clothing, and see how the wrinkles are formed. :>
As for hands, you can usually use your own hands as a model. :3
Hope you color this soon! ;D

That's good! You've improved :D
The hands are pretty good. I think everyone has problms with hands everynow and then and the more you practice drawing them,the better you'll get.
Folds in clothing are kind of hard too so it takes practice to know where exactly to put them.
The head looks really good though! It's nice to see that you're alive XD
