I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO MAKE THE TITLE. BUT YAY FOR OBSESSIONS.
Okay so, I'm kind of going through a Kim Possible obsession right now (omg my childhood ) and KimxRon makes me squee. I love how obvious they were at the beginning of the series and I can't believe I didn't see it when I was younger. In episode four, "Tick-Tick-Tick," when Ron is using the Diablo sauce on the nano-tick stuck to Kim's nose, he lowers her down, his arm around her back, and I was like, "OMG WANT. ;A;" They are so adorable.
I decided to draw her on his shoulders because of another scene in the same episode. They are on Ron's motor scooter thing (which is a piece of crap, lol) and Kim is sitting on Ron's shoulders. She's actually there because there's a car being pulled up by Dr. Drakken's gravitonic beam (lol gravitonic) and she's trying to pull it back down. But I still thought it was cute how she was on his shoulders and I couldn't help that that if it was real life Ron would be like, "NGGHHH SEXY KIM LEGS ON MY NECK." You know he'd be thinking it. <333

OKAY SO ABOUT THE PICTURE. I know the proportions are not perfect, but I'm actually really proud of how well I pulled this off. I had a lot of trouble trying to get the pose right, but I think I did well. I think they look cute in my style. :'3
P.S. I hate drawing skirts. 8C

Very nice work, there! I wonder if Ron could hold onto Kim on her shoulders?

I actually thought that the girl was Bonnie until I saw the title. Might wanna lighten up Kim's hair color. Looks like she's a brunette more than a redhead as she is.

Otherwise the pic does look solid. There is a sort of almost child-like glee in Kim's smile that a lot of artists have trouble capturing in artwork and Ron looks like he's enjoying himself. Not exactly keeping with the context of the picture, but I feel that it would probably be better served as a fluffy Kim/Ron picture with them at practice or something (Ron perhaps standing in for a sick cheerleader). The body proportions are also a good; they're solid in comparison to a real-life person and more realistic representation than you usually see in most artwork and even the show itself.

Feel free to ignore this part as I'm not an artist and won't even pretend to be, simply saying what stands out to me: I'll also say that the shading looks good (I have meager knowledge but it looks solid to me). The only problem area I see is under their necks. It seems to taper off and looks odd compared to the rest of the shading. Might wanna reconsider the way you shade their necks and make sure it doesn't contradict the light source in comparison to the rest of the shading.

I'm sorry the hair color on Kim confused you. My laptop is really bright, so her hair probably looks darker on other peoples' computers. :C

I was actually going for a more fluffy rather than serious type picture, I'm actually glad I've pulled it off. They're supposed to look like they're just enjoying each other and being adorable. =]
I'm also really glad you think the proportions look alright. I was really worried that they looked off. I'm not exactly an expert yet, I still have a lot of things I need to work on~
As for the necks, in this piece, I blended the shading of the necks because cel shading (like the rest of the picture) looked odd in that area. I probably should have softened the shading in other places as well, just to make it look more rounded and less awkward.

I'll actually take what you've said into consideration. Every good artist knows how to take critique and put it into what they know and, hopefully, grow from it. I would like to ask something though, as I noticed you didn't say anything about it: Did you like the picture as a whole? :3

The picture is enjoyable. The lack of a background is a bit disappointing. However, I understand why you chose not to add one as I've heard just how hard doing backgrounds are from those that do them. As I'm a Drakkim shipper and am not particularly joyful where K/R is concerned. The way you presented the picture at least allows me to interpret it in a different way than the pure K/R shippers. It's a flexible, safe, and fluffy picture that can please most of the fans of the show.

Do I gain the same pleasure from it as I do with most pics? I can say yes, I do. Kim's face is the real draw for me. Her unabashed joy just leaks from the picture. I can't help but to smile every time I look at it. And though it's meant to be a fluffy K/R moment the positioning allows even a non-K/R shipper to enjoy a moment of closeness between two BFFs. The picture is one of the lost moments that many people overlook. A friendly, even romantic moment between two great friends who could be doing nothing more than helping each other during a cheer. So much focus is put on the world-saving and monkey-braving that no one thinks too much on the everyday things that Kim and Ron do together. This picture makes me feel like I'm getting a small glance into their lives outside of crime-fighting and I can't help but to want to see more.

I really had no idea what to put in the background, so it was pretty much just, "PORTRAIT BACKGROUND, YEAH."

I love how you took the words straight from my brain with describing the feel of this picture. I'm certainly a KimxRon shipper, but I didn't really want to go for something intimate for my first piece of art for them. You're right, they're BFFs who just do fun things together when they're not saving people and whatnot, and I'm glad I could capture this. I wish I could express how happy it made me when I read what you wrote just now. It just really makes me glad that I could put this into my picture, and I'm glad you could see it. =]
