Hmm, it has potential, but it looks a tad bit too simple. for Roll i was imagining something like Colette's fair lady costume from Tales of Symphonia. Here is an image, FOCUS ON THE DRESS, NOT THE HORRIBLE SIAMESE DRAWING. Oh, and about the artistic points on the drawing, it looks great, needs a bit more focus on the hair, but then again little to no people gets her hair correctly, so is kind of a give or take tip. |

Like Mir@k said, the dress is too simple, with no distinguishing features, and the hair isn't shaded well, making it look flat. Otherwise, it's a really great drawing. Roll looks exactly how she does in official artwork, and it's bright and colourful, just like in the games! The shading is very well done. The sufaces are very round, and that adds movement and expression to the image. Overall, a little more polish, and it could have been an amazing picture. It's still pretty good, and I'm sure your future works of art will be awesome if you keep improving and practicing!  |

It's not that the hair isn't shaded well, it's that there is virtually no contrast. Make those shadows darker, man!

It looks really nice, but the dress has a certain flatness to it. I can't seem to shake the impression that she's actually standing behind the dress, rather than wearing it. (particularly toward the bottom) Also the bit about the hair. I didn't even know there was shading there.  ; I love the necklace though; that's a cool idea right there, that is.. |

Yeah, i thinked that too, comparing the ones in the face, and dress, that are almost on-existant. The method i used for shadows is making a dark brown figure and adding "soft light" effect, it works great in face and gloves, but not hair and dress. I don´t draw things like this usually so don´t have experience in dresses. And sorry, i can´t not focuse on the siamese, it´s freaky  I can´t draw girls without giving them some... age  , really. Thanks, this is product of hours looking at an image to record in my head how it looks some characters, and hard training, i have a notebook full of wrong sketches of the caracters. I wish to be like my brother and sister, they only need to look one time a character too draw it perfectly. I give a different effect at shadows this time, "Differency" Due to my eye problems, i can´t be sure but i think the hair turned green.  i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo199/Rockman_Striker/colored-roll-by-rockman-striker-1.jpg |

I think it's a pretty cute drawing. I don't think the dress is too simple, as everyone else here continues to state. Anything more flashy and it wouldn't suit Roll. And to be sure, you draw Roll's hair much better than I ever could. Her face, though, seems a bit too big. Other than that, though, I like it a lot.

Well, i see we can't call you a critic of art when for mind goes shallow on the presence of simple costumes, so i'll call you the "good guy" type of critic who just praises the art without making stop on most obvious things that could use a fix. Yeah that fits you. =O I don't know what's the point you're so trying to reach by showing an old picture that has absolutely nothing to do with the current topic. Must be what they call "trying an intellectual checkmate".  What he meant by "dame", my cocky little friend, is that the dress itself looks like it was designed for older women, let's not forget Roll is barely 14-15 (they seemed to make her older for namco vs capcom), a dress more suited for someone her age is best. Matilda would probably look beautiful in a simple dress like that, for her appeal lies in the shape of her body (not skintight, but enhough to definer her curves well). Roll in the other hand doesn't have an overly well endowed body and because of that, dressing her in a simple dress looks that: Too simple and plain. An ornamental dress that focuses not in the color red nor the shape of her body but in the cuteness aspect would work wonders since Roll's main appeal is her face and hair, this is because Roll is a character that falls more into the "cute" category rather than the "sexy" one. Aaaaand finally, if you guys didn't notice, the clothes didn't take into consideration Roll's eye color. That blue totally clashes with her eyes. Needs a darker blue. Also, red is not mandatory. While i do agree that red is almost Roll's trademark, color combinations do marvelous things, so next time the OP could try to use different color combinations. Looool look at what you learn when you live only with your mom and sister. |

You are to art criticism what I am to fanfiction criticism. *claps hands*
I have a hard time judging other's art, because my own drawing are always so terrible. Plus, I really do like his drawing. Maybe it's because I am shallow, but who really cares?

Looool look at what you learn when you live only with your mom and sister. As i mentioned before, i didn´t draw things like this normally, and i´m a man, and i don´t take in consideration all that things, but i guess you´re right, you can learn a lot of things, i mean, i only wear a shirt and pants and don´t matter if the colors don´t combine, that make my mom and sister get very mad (Oh yeah, off topic comment ;D) Thanks for all your comments, i appreciate them and take in consideration next time. |
