read Kat's post for emphasis.
basically, yes. I do not know how to use beziers.
I do not know how to use certain tools in whatever software you happen to use.
but it doesn't need to be a professional to see that it doesn't look good at all.
I suggested bezier curves because I know it gives smoother lines than your attempt with broken lines. See this example of art and compare with yours:
example with bezier curve generated outlines
your work
The fact that I don't know how to use bezier curves isn't a valid reason to ignore it.
Also, about the colors. I said that the colors were dull, boring and too artificial. Well, grab your pokémon again and compare with the official art:
see how the shading here gives the character a better sense of volume. Notice the hues and how the highlights hit the body.
I also don't have a clue on how to achieve that effect. But I already know it's better than your work.
so, it doesn't matter if I don't know or you studied for 5 whole years. Bad techniques are bad and good techniques are good.
