:New OC - Lillia:

Published:

Description

This is my new random OC, Lillia.
She does not belong to any fandom.

I'm REALLY proud of this drawing.
It came out better than I thought it would.
I used [link] as a reference for the pose.

Here we go, OC details time.

Name: Lillia

Age: 16 years old

Gender: Female

Birthday: September 25th

Zodiac Sign: Libra

Classification: Human

Eye Color: Pale red.

Hair Color: Light orange.

Height: 5 feet, 4 inches.

Weight: 106 pounds.

Talents: Rather good at writing literature.
Also a speed reader and a so-so painter.

Personality: Lillia is reserved and shy. She does not often interact with other people unless she has to, as she is worried of being judged and disliked. She does not speak unless spoken to, usually too busy with her nose in a book to notice she is being addressed.

When Lillia opens up, which is rare, she is very cautious and kind. She does not want to upset someone else, her words often light and well thought out. She is afraid of being abandoned by someone close to her, and will compromise anything to no longer feel lonely.

Past: Not much worth noting.
Lillia was bullied often when she was younger for her habit of being quiet, causing her to shy away from other people.
She does not have many friends.

Other Information:
- Absolutely adores reading
- Has reading glasses that she only wears when reading. (Of course.)
- Is quick to gain a crush on any boy that shows her kindness, though this tends to wind up with her getting hurt a lot.

As previously stated, I love this drawing.
I only hope I can draw Lillia this well again!

Lillia belongs to me. Do not use her without my permission.
This drawing also belongs to me, don't use it without my permission either.

Oh hey, I just noticed that you unblocked me. Kind of unexpected, but i'm not complaining. Actually, that pleasantly suprised me, I hope you don't mind if I express this with a hopefully non-spiteful sounding critique.

You are improving, I can tell what's what and the eyes came out much better than they normally do in your hand-drawn pieces. In fact the hair doesn't lack a form like it usually does--though the back of the hair could use as much detail as the front does--.

However, there's an issue I noticed with this. Whether you intended this or not, she looks almost exactly like your Vocaloid OC Yuki. While there are small alterations like the cut of the shirt/dress and pattern there's a handful of simmilarities that I noticed that I have redlined in the following link:

[link]

(Please read these, they also have hopefully helpful tips on how to improve.)

1.) They both have the same wide-eyed innocent look to them. Well, I like to call it the 'deer-in-headlites' look, but that's not exactly appropriate. Normally a common eye-style for beginners with the anime style there's several other shapes of the eye that could easilly express who she is yet not fall victim to having eyes the size of dinner plates to show us that she's shy and kind-hearted.

[link]

There's afew examples i've drawn to show different types of eyes that portray innocence/shyness. Notice how all of them don't touch the lower lash, this gives the allusion of wide-eyed optimism and frendliess. If I could place which suit Lillia best, i'd say the pupil-less one on the far right.

2.) The same bang style. Aside from the two locks hanging from the sides of Lillia's head they have practically the same hair. Try to think of her hair from a realistic viewpoint, if someone in real life had bangs that choppy with no real direction it'd be all over the place, not to mention one side of the bangs is higher than the other. Try making a line on each side of the head for where the bangs start, like this:

The blue line is where the bangs have a general level, and as you can see in the version with hair(I tried to make it a simmilar as possible to Lillian's hair) the bangs stay relatively within the blue lines.

3.) The same necklace. I'm aware that the choker is a commonly used acessory with alot of characters, however from personal experience they're not exactly comfortable. I'm not saying you have to change it or anything, just look past common neck pieces and maybe try drawing more complicated acessories like a jewel-encrusted necklace or possibly a light scarf to compliment the outfit. Speaking of which, this leads me to...

4.) Same shoulder-less cut. By no means is this a bad choice of clothing, however how it's executed is. She's a timid teenage girl, and i'm also gonna safely assume that her self-esteem isn't great either. I find it abit hard to believe someone like her would have that much clevage showing. I own one or two shoulder-less sweaters, they don't show off the clevage line unless you deliberately make it show your breasts with the help of a push-up bra.

Forgive me, but I really can't sympathize with someone who's a breath away from pulling a Janet Jackson. Try making the neckline abit more modest and tasteful, you'd be suprised how little tweaks like that affect the overall character.


Well I think i've overstayed my welcome with this critique, I don't blame you if you don't real all of this but if you do please know that I say this with good intentions. Thank you again for unblocking me, and I hope you continue to improve!
