Nothing to big at the moment, just a little picture I made of Tikki a while back. I'm working on an animation of Ladybug's miraculous, but I could use some help finding a frame-by-frame of how her Miraculous shuts off! All I really need is seeing when a minute has passed and the order they disappear in (I'm pretty sure it's top right, bottom right, bottom left, top left, center, but I remember seeing at least one time where it was different.) And just a little sneak peek at the animation! I would love some constructive criticism and definitely art tips! I'm still pretty new at drawing so I'd love any tips on shading and lineart. February 9, 2016I finished my Akumasona! This was a test for shading as well, and I feel I did a great job! This is the Little Voice. They were akumatized by Hawkmoth after feeling ready to give up on everything. The akuma is located in their rose, and they go around whispering lies to everyone. When they're confronted directly, they can use either the back end of their rose as a dagger, or the petals from their rose can act as a long range attack. Being hit with either has a temporary paralysis that allows them to whisper their lies.

Aww, these are so cute! Is the sneak peek only Ladybug's yoyo? And what program did you use? I'm not the best fanart critic out there, but you're already on a great start. Just keep practicing more! You can find tons of tutorials on lineart and shading on dA or tumblr. For lineart, I think you can try changing the thickness of different lines like how you did it with Tikki's eyelashes. Hopefully someone more pro in art than me would reply here and give you more tips

I can't see the animation so I can't say anything about it, but for the Tikki, your lineart is exceptionally clean! Lineart, at least for me, is really hard to keep clean. As for shading, with Tikki it seems like you'll have a lot of cylindrical and spherical shapes. If you know how light interacts with spheres and cylinders, you can apply that to body parts and kwami heads. But I wouldn't go too in depth if you're animating. I don't animate a lot but even sketches take a long time.
Is the animation sneak peek a link, gif, or picture?

The animation sneak peek is just a picture for the moment! It's going to be Ladybug's earring once it's fully finished. As for the program, I was using SAI to create some of the frames and I'll be using Photoshop to actually animate it. Thank you both so much! I'm definitely going to try and find more tutorials to help me out. Here's what I actually have in frames at the moment. (Ignore the SAI file that's for something else completely. )

I updated the top post! The animation is still a WIP but it is part of the animation now! I feel it's running a little fast at the moment so I'll probably slow it down.

I finished my Akumasona! I added them to the top post with a small amount of information. I feel I did a great job on the shading, though I could have probably done better on some spots.
