In fact, it's encouraged use reference because how can you draw something realistic without knowing what it (or its components) is supposed to look like?

that said, look at your reference more because I can tell it's flawed. Edge control, shape definition and color are very poor.
yea you're right, but I actually didn't look at the reference when I was colouring it. I wanted to try this from my head. pictured the sun somewhere and started filling. But I really do see your point.

As for the edges, I have no idea how I should do this. I use painttool sai for this and I can't figure how to get layer masks going. so I had to draw everything by hand. the reason the edges are choppy is because the linework basicly covered everything up untill this moment. You're right on all levels though

I apreciate the feedback, thanks. Maybe someday I can become a good respected artist .
