EDIT: Has been redone :thumb340903471:

Well, as most of you know I use mostly MS Paint. And I needed some GIMP practice. So I drew the lines on MS Paint, pasted it to GIMP. I wanted to draw my favorite couple, Feathertail X Crowfeather. But if I drew Graystripe X Silverstream I could practice my water and grass. So I went with Graystripe X Silverstream. It could be a lot better but I'm happy with how it came out for the most part.

Why hello there, this is my first critique. First of let me say well done, it looks adorable and sad at the same time. Second, Shading is a LOT more easy than how XxFlipxX described it to be. Just select a dark-ish color(like dark dark dark blue etc.) and color it accordingly to where you want your shading to be then lower the opacity to what looks right. If you want Silverstream to look more ghost like lower the opacity of the layer, create a new one and then use a white or a light color go over her and around her, blur the edges(not smudge, smudge looks clumsy and messy) and lower the opacity again and it'll look fine. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>

The grass looks good except you might want to add more color variation to it but it's not neccasary. As for the river/water, instead of making small lines and smudging it you can get lighter colors and make wavy lines in the water then blur it or smudge with a large brush and get darker colors to give the water more life and realism. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>

You have a fairly good grasp on anatomy and your style is cute. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/> Good job especially considering you usually only use MS Paint. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
