So, first of all, I'd like to apologize for the late review. I wanted to post it earlier, however, something went very wrong and the message wasn't sent + and I didn't save it.

With that out, of the way, here's the proper review:

1st Portrait) To start off, I'll say that this portrait is okay, but there are quite a few noticeable errors and mistakes that should be fixed. These errors include:

1) Low-quallity hair strands that look blurry, choppy and/or messy. For example, one of the top strands of hair is very blurry, and I can see that some of the pink background gets on it.

2) The blurry Sports Club glasses. You should probably get a better base for them or make a new one yourself.

3) The inconsistent colour on the shirt. The sleeves use a darker shade of white, while the chest area/the collar use a brighter one.

4) An "Archway" around the student's head. If you look closely, you'll see that an arch is formed out of lighter shades of pink.

2nd Portrait) I'll be honest with you: this portrait has a lot of issues, and the overall quallity seems to be lower than the first portrait. Let me get into detail on what's wrong with it. By the way, a lot of mistakes from the first portrait are present here:

1) Like with Ian's portrait, the hair here has noticeable errors. For starters, the back hair is, once again, blurry and compressed. It's also messily made - I can see random "lumps" being present here. Same goes for certain other hair strands. Also, the forelock is poorly pasted onto Koharu's hairstyle. You should blur the forelock into the main hairstyle so it doesn't start so abruptly.

2) The beret has poor resolution. It's very pixelated and low-quallity.

3) The tie on the uniform looks like it was made in MS Paint - the lack of shading details (like slight gradients to make it look more alive, etc.), the tie's pattern (the black lines) sticking out of the said tie, and so on.

4) Once again, the shirt's colour is inconsistent, albeit here it's reversed: the breast area and the collar use a darker shade of white, while the sleeves use a lighter one.

And... That's about everything that should've been mentioned. Don't get me wrong, the portraits aren't horrible, they just need some work.

I really hope you'll improve your skills!
