i like em both, though i like the second one a little more! it has more depth to it. i also like the shine on her braid^^ keep it up!!

imo the colours u used in the first one look a lot nicer, but if u develop the second style a little more it could look super duper awesome!! i think maybe you should try steer away from pillow shading and think about where your light source is coming from, because i can't really tell where they're coming from unless it's in a few different directions :0c

I really like the first one because the colors are so vibrant. I think that if you combined the intense colors of the first one and the blending of the bottom one, then it would look even more amazing! The second one is shaded a bit too brownish/grayish in my opinion. You could try going into different colors such as peach-brown for the skin and blue-green for the shirt on the second one.

In my opinion, hard cell shading fits your style more

I'll give that a try. Thanks!
