I think this is my best work as of yet. But who am I to judge my own work?

aren't her fingers a little short? (I may be wrong)

also the shadow she casts appears a little... odd.
(It seems too smooth compared to the rest of the drawing)

I like it.

Too much shading on her raised hand. You also need something to contrast her arm from her body.

Very impressive. Very nice hair style. The little figures in the background could be better though. They seem a bit rushed.

Fingers ARE too short, on top of the fact that they are bent out of whack. Her arm also doesn't look that great perspective-wise.

Otherwise I can't complain.

everything is awesome, the proportions are good, except that hand. My advice, start doing hand studies using your opposite writing had as a model in as many positions as you can think of. Dont worry about shading, just develop the framework and contours.

same thing as before not trying to prove anything, just trying to help you out and will remove it at your request. (Granted, I dont have a girl hand, but the basic anatomy is the same) Youre actually not as far off as some may say, just a few minor changes and some shading issues and youll have it perfect.

Keep at it!

I wish I had could sketch like that. You, sir, have quite a talent there.

Absolutely. I love the forehead markings, and the chick herself is pretty fine.

Nice, you need to work on drawing breasts, and that hand is a little wacky..

So what if she happens to be wearing a bra that makes her chest look different?:p

Concerning the hand, it's more the shading that is off than the actual position. I modeled it mostely after my own hand and I assure you it's fairly accurate. Note that all her fingers are bent. Her ringfinger might be a bit off, I'll try to fix that and the shading. (I attached a figure that shows the positions that the fingers should be having, red being the pinky, yellow the indexfinger, green middle finger, blue index finger and indigo her thumb)

As for the drop shadow; The girl and the background are two seperate drawings which I paintshopped together. It looked kind of weird so I used the dropshadow filter which I thought looked better than without. Should I get rid of it?

Thanks for all the comments and feedback!

  • The Sword and Shield represent the Heroes that are born in total war. For there would be no heroes without war.
  • Coalition of the two dark Gods, Celeste and Edfhiel.

Thought I should show the entire wall. Still looks a bit dull this way, but hey that's what we had Mithriël for. :)

Wrist too thick, hand too stubby, lips too wrinkled, eyes too small...if I picked it apart, I'd find thousands of things. As is, it's alright.

I really like it.

I can certainly see the improvement you've made. Some of the first humans that you made were pretty dodgy, but this one is really cool. Congrats.

I'm not completely happy with the end result.
Resizing completely raped her hand :(
The eyes were looking verry lifeless and doll-like at first, but massive make-up helped to get rid of that.
And I was origionally going for blonde hair, but that became yellow and eventually with a orange glow. It looks much better this way. The dropshadow is less worse than it was after some filtering.
Something's missing...

Maybe the colored drawing would look better if you smoothed out some of the shading? I always thought pencil drawings with overlayed color looked kind of odd.
