Not planning to post much for a while as I'm busy drawing things for my webcomic but I do plan to have an ecchi webcomic much further in the future where I'll need practice.  For now I've created my avatar for this site

Yes on the ahegao. My only suggestion for drool and tears is to do two separate layers of white--one that's very transparent (think 20% opacity) and another that's more opaque for the highlights and glistening. But, given the coloring style on the rest of this one, I think it looks okay the way you have it. Certainly gets the point across.

@MahluaandMilk
I went back a few times already to make it more transparent than it was but seems like I need to still work on it

[TinTin]

Love those colors !!! But agree with @MahluaandMilk about Drool and tears. First I thought its something totally different. haha

[Zaxx Cev]

Ok so I went back and lowered the opacity, seems like 80% is about the limit before it is too faded.  Let me know how the new version is (previous version had 100% but I blended the colors under it to make it more transparent)

[MahluaandMilk]

I hadn't thought about that but now that you mention it, TinTin...I'm 100% for both interpretations.

The new version looks much more like drool and tears. (Looks less like guy juice and more like girl juice now).

That ahegaho face though. Aye aye aye

The gao is strong with this one.

Generally I try to keep liquids even more translucent, smaller and less uniform because the thicker they get the less they feel like liquid and the more they feel like an object. Of course it all depends a lot on art style though!

Another thing is that water tends to reflect the ambient lighting of a scene and the surface that it sits on, so I would add pretty intense rim lights to any surface on liquid especially tears and stuff to make it pop out more. Drool I don't think behaves this way since it actually is a lot thicker. Lastly, getting the physics of liquids on surfaces is hard but I think you did a decent job here, keep it up!

Thanks for the comments and feedback.  I definitely forgot about the ambient lighting for the water.  I'll look for references on how ambient light works with water and try to learn more about it.

water (also ice) is completely in its own league when it comes to art

nice highlights on the hair, although I think it would look better if they were more liney, to show the form of the hair strands. otherwise it looks a bit blocky

all your lines are really neat, did you use any vector art in that or its all digitally hand drawn? if its hand drawn then you totally have line control under control

@SouperSoup
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to keep working on drawing hair.  The blockiness comes from the brush itself which is the main reason I'm mostly not using it anymore.  After I finish moving and getting settled in I'll update with a sort of new style I've been working on.

As for the lineart, it's all drawn by hand.  I really don't like vectors that much and only use them when I'm making logos for Tshirts because it's a requirement

[TinTin]

So haven't you drawn anything new ?

[Zaxx Cev]

I've mostly been drawing on paper and my camera doesn't work well :/

[MahluaandMilk]

I know the feeling, bud. But, hey, cheers to you. Maybe we'll see something around soon?
