Aww, Rain! You did a great job depicting the personality of the Fruits Basket characters, in both body posture and facial expression. :3

I do have some suggestions if you don't mind some feedback! First off, I really want to commend you for taking on more challenging poses (especially the last two- having two figures holding each other gets really complicated, your doing a good job) . Your beginning to really challenge yourself and that's great. It might be worth your while if you don't have one already to purchase a pose-able mannequin or two. You can get a little one for like 6 dollars. They are really super helpful to learn how parts of the body should be acting underneath the clothing; especially where joints should be, what should be flexible, what should be more ridged, etc.

Also, try working a bit more on the structure of your hands. Your doing good, but they need more of a palm. The best way to practice them is also free: Just pose your left hand and start drawing. =D ....I know it sucks and is not as interesting as drawing a full character, but it's also the most helpful thing you can do to understand how a hand is structured.

Your doing a great job, keep it up!

Oh thanks Hachi! ^^ The certainly helped. Where do you suppose I could get one of those mannequins?

 

[Hachi]

You can find them at wherever you usually pick up your art supplies. Any arts and crafts store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby will have them. c:

So! I'm here to show off my special hat that I made! I'll tell ya'll how I made it after you see the amazing pics...

Awesome right? So, in case you think I just slapped together a few colors and whatnot, I'll tell you exactly how I made it. I took a little rubber bell shaped thing and put it on a tray. Then took Yamma fur (like, it had freshly been shaven off the animal. Not something that was felted and stuff in a store.) and put two layers on this side of the bell. I matted it down with water and it stick to the rubber. Then did the same to the other side and so on until I had done that three times to each side. Then comes the hard part. You have to felt it. Yamma fur has these little mocroscopic "scales" that make them connect if you push them together. So we pushed for two hours and finally, they were felted. Then you cut the bottom of the bell and pull out the rubber. Now you take a plastic shae of a hat and your felted fur and (since you now have a dome shape) put the fur over the plastic. Now comes the streatching. We streached it out to fit the plastic shape (it was hard pulling on felted fur, beleive me). When that was done it's the easy part. We cut the rim of the hat to our liking and took a little needle with a tiny hook at the end, and needled in decorations. As you can see, I added two black triforces and the word Zelda. Then they dried for five days and we came and got 'em. The lady also put on the "hem" and stiffened it.

That is how I made my hat! ^^

 

[Ⓡⓔⓖⓘⓝⓛⓔⓘⓕ]

Well the hat looks pretty, you did a good job with it, Rainy. Do you wear it?

Also, the previous art pics are awesome, I like them all. ^^
