Everything I make, I don't really like it; I feel like I'm always near my goal, but the final result is never the actual goal... if you get what I mean. Like, this manipcover and the cover before this one aren't TERRIBLE I guess, but they're not good either, and this really frustrates me because some of my previous works are pretty good I believe (for example, I love Aurora, the Fairy's Glade and the Granranaruga), so yeah... I don't know what the heck is going on with myself, it's just not a good period for making graphics I guess lmao.
Anyways, so.
I know she doesn't really look THE CUTEST, she still has something creepy to her, and that's mostly because of the eyes, that I haven't really been able to edit that much

(it's painful to admit my failure lol).

But at the same time, if you look at the original png, I still managed to make her a bit more normal; also, I was able to change her face shape a bit and to smoothen out the skin (which is kind of the easiest thing you can do in graphic designing buuuut we're just gonna ignore that).

I personally don't think it's SUPER bad, but ummmm, it definitely lacks "something", and I can't really figure out what it is.

At the same time, I'm proud of myself for having literally created from nothing the shop (like, I used the shapes tool from PS and created the vector for the shop, and then used some effects). Apart from annabelle, the only pngs I downloaded were the net thing, the balloons, the cotton candy machine and the floor. Yay :)

This makes me feel a bit better because this means I'm really improving, and that's the important thing after all.

Sorry for all this rambling lol, anyways.
Hope it's not that bad!

Bye! ♡
