Also, I didn't know whether to even bother with more shading, since she is a sketch xweetok that paints herself whatever colour she needs to be...so would paint be as reflective as a pelt? I was unsure, but thought not.
EDIT: See better pic on page 2. Criticisms still accepted!

I'm not one to criticise art because I am BAD at all aspects of art, hand and PC.
But Moye's head is too circular for me. I'm not to sure of 'her' paint job shes done either, the blue stripe on the tail makes the art too flat looking, like it's just facing flat at me, the tail doesn't look very curvy, but since it's meant to be paint and not fur I don't know, I will leave the rest to the real artists.
It's cute! I love the concept of a sketch pet being able to paint on disguises. There are some things that could be improved, but I can't seem to put my thoughts into a nice helpful post so I'll come back after a bit and try again.
Well I would imagine that this is some type of magic paint so it would probably need to be shaded in the same style as fur. If it is still wet, it might be a bit more glossy/shiny than normal fur.
At any rate some shading will help reduce the flatness.
Also we should still be able to see the buildings and side walk through the light of the street lamp. It would just look a little muted.

As for the tail, you could curve it around, but like Monkeyguy said, shading is your friend. ^_^
But it's like 3 am man, who really outside at that time? Come on ^^
...actually, I don't really have an explanation for it. Maybe she's got to quickly change her coat before the bad guys behind the big buildings get her! Yep. That's it. (no it's not. I'll go off to think of something better. It seemed suitably mysterious at the time ^^)

Also could make the lines Blue? then it'd be more Sketchy xD
I thought about that, but then there would be blue "sketch" lines around what was painted, definitely a give away, and very dangerous for a spy
Unless you were thinking of a different way?
I meant just so it doesn't look like a WHITE Xweetok, 'cause currently it does.
Yes, this picture was done in MS paint. Forgot to put that in my first post Embarassed
sorry!
And yeah...I see how the tail looks flat. (DARN!) any input on how to fix that?
Put uhm things like this:
Also create a light source, seeing as she's under the BEAM maybe like do this:
But it'd be more from a vertical one. Red is where the light source should be and them areas are lighter, but it'd be vertical so them ones I drew are just from where my Light is. Pink is the tail effects, look at them make it like furry sorta? and stuff, that one I did isn't the best but looks alright add more colours. Green is where there needs to be more shadow you had a tail with like half a shadow underneath.
I'll go off to think of something better. It seemed suitably mysterious at the time ^^)
I'll have to come back to this, but expect a better picture by monday, hopefully.
