Any comments or critiques on how I could have done better would be greatly appreciated, and please let me know how I did in highlighting her skin tone -- I went much brighter than I usually do, but people who have normal color-sight have told me it looks like it should.



Okay, let me know what you think, if you can and care to. Thanks!

I never really set out to make a project of drawing all the RWBY ladies, but that seems to be what this is turning into. I'm having fun taking their anime style and trying to reinterpret it into more realistic proportions and the like. Ruby, like Yang and Blake before her, does seem to appear a bit older than she is on the show, but I'm fine with that.This one really fought me -- the positioning was a bear to get right, but I thought it was really important in regard to conveying Ruby's general brand of innocent fun.

Disclaimer: I’m red-green colorblind. Because of this, it’s difficult for me to tell similar shades/hues of different colors apart, and, therefore, I need to work with very limited palettes when I color pieces. For shading and highlights, I’ll generally adjust the ‘value’ portion of the HSV setting to make the base color lighter or darker; I’m unable to ‘cool’ shadows by adding blue or anything like that. I’ve often been told to be bolder in my highlighting and shading, and I’m trying to be so, but… sometimes it still seems pretty tame. I’m just saying this in case you mentioned I need to do that on a previous piece – I’m not ignoring you, and I appreciate the input. It’s just not very easy for me to implement confidently.
