Fun with Photoshop

So today, after college, I have being playing around with Photoshop. I have got some new brushes & played around with contrast, colours and dark/light features. This is the orginal Jpeg that I ended up with:

I thought it would be good to use as my twitter banner (maybe). After I did this I saw the animation tab and thought to myself, I haven't made a GIF in a while so what do you think? Can I have some opinions and constructive critism. I like good as well!!

I am planning to make some more for Photoshop practise. If you have any words I could use to make this it would be amazing!

Sugar Rush (Wreck it Ralph) Drawing

This is my character with Vanellope from Wreck it Ralph (Sugar Rush Game)

It is an improvement from my last character drawing and I will continue to perfect it.

I think my characters body proportion is a bit off and need to work on them areas. However, I do like my little Vanellope. The colouring is also a bit 'meh' when looking back on it.
