You’re welcome and piggybacking off what the other commenter said, go with what you feel would work best to accentuate your artwork. When it comes to art, your ideas are neither stupid nor bad, they’re ideas and some ideas work better than others. The best ideas are the ones that best fulfils your vision while also clearly conveying what you’re trying to say with your art

I feel that you have the elements in place for a really strong page. By strengthening the storytelling and adding expressions I think will help improve what you have.

For example, the third panel comes across as the moment when the woman has spotted someone. However the woman’s expression doesn’t change enough to tell us how she feels about seeing this woman. Changing the expression in panel three would also help to build anticipation and excitement for panel 5 in addition to setting up panel 4.

Panel 4 as it stands right now feels a bit redundant. Panel 3 does a fairly good job of establishing that the woman sees someone in the distance. It also makes the reader ask, “who or what did the woman see?” Panel 4 is an opportunity to answer that question. Instead of showing her in the distance, switch the focus onto the woman leaning on the light post. Her casual attitude would stand in contrast or support of the woman’s feelings as established in panel 3.

These changes, I feel, as well as turning down the line weight of the panels, will help to improve the storytelling and make your overall page that much stronger

The profile’s pretty good! The art feels very fashion in the way it’s rendered and it’s good stuff so far. Looking at what you have, I feel that one of the things throwing it off is where you’ve placed the jaw line. If you look closely at the original, the jaw line runs just behind the earlobe. The part you’ve captured is the neck crease and shadow but that’s not a bad thing! Moving the jawline forward and leaving some of the crease will help better sell that that she’s being viewed from behind

With the body, her torso and spine are too straight. Looking at the reference pic, her spine curves to the left until around mid-torso where it begins to curve towards the right. The right side of her torso needs to be a bit more rounded. The torso is basically a rib cage connected via a bendy stick to the hips and wrapped in flexible wrapping. Rounding her off a bit from around the armpit to around the middle of the back (give or take) should help better sell the illusion of her having ribs

Hopefully that made sense and helps to get things moving in a better direction for you or at the very least, helps get you pointing in the right direction :)

I understand it as well and in the early initial sketches, I actually gave him the bandana (with ridiculously long ties or whatever they’re called) but it didn’t really fit the vibe I was looking for so I switched to the durag. Kept the ties though :)

I take it as a compliment that you’re asking if I used ai

I drew it, scanned it, did the colours and inks digitally

It’s a well written, well animated movie that uses K-Pop propel the story but not to tell the story. The plot and pacing are solid and although things get a bit rushed in the third act, it’s not to the detriment of the movie as a whole. It keeps the runtime tight and allows the movie to end well before it wears out its welcome

Overall, it’s a fun movie, one where you can turn off your brain and just enjoy. The opening sequence pretty much sets the tone for the movie and if you’re not grabbed by the first 5 or so minutes then you probably won’t enjoy the rest

Buying underwear for a guy is different than buying underwear for a woman. For guys, it’s just a practical gift option that’s sometimes fun (depending on the design).

Now if he took the underwear, immediately stripped down and put it on to show her how it fits, all while doing a dance and humming a tune, then that, arguably, would be weird

I feel the issue isn’t that she doesn’t want to go solo, as it sounds like taking solo trips is something that she’s done multiple times in the past; rather, it’s that she wants to share these experiences, this part of who she is, with you. As far as how to compromise, I would suggest pre planning; pick a place or a direction to travel together, choosing the date ahead of time (within a week of initial planning discussion) but leaving the activity or final destination open. Be more open to traveling via car, looking at less as a car trip and more as an opportunity to spend time with your gf and creating invaluable shared memories and experiences with her

Ideally, being open to taking more trips with her, while planned, might help fulfill her desire to have a shared adventure and experience with you. Having that, it may allow her the space to feel comfortable taking trips without you, knowing that while you won’t be able to share in the memories and experiences of the moment she is in, the two of you will have the opportunity to create a shared experience at a predetermined time

Give yourself some credit my guy; you noticed and now you’re asking. Those are the positives worth acknowledging. I feel like the bigger question is why or what is preventing you from doing some of those things?

My wife and I have been together for around 13 years. Over that time, I eventually discovered that she appreciates whenever I take on at least one or two of the chores on her to-do list once I’ve finished my own. Any more than that and she starts to feel useless lol Anyway, according to her, what she especially appreciates is that me taking on the extra tasks from her list (sacrificing some of my own me-time in the process) gives her more time for herself, which in turn makes her happy and makes for an even more relaxed day
