I'm about to start coloring this piece, but I want to add more detail and "stuff". The thing is, I can't quiet think of what else to do. So I figured I would chuck it up and see if anyone can notice any horrible gaffs or has any suggestions on what to add before I color it.

It was actually a real challenge doing this piece because it was the first picture I've drawn and inked completely with my Wacom tablet! Hurah! I saved a tree!

Are her arms the same size (i.e., is the right arm flexing towards the viewer)? I'm not that sure without the shading.

Otherwise, she looks pretty darn good to my barely-artistic eyes.

What software are you using for the inking? I'm terrible at inking lines either on paper or digitally, but it's something I really need to practice as my current technique is sloooowwww (just about to post about that in my own journal, actually).

Her elbow is pointing out towards the viewer, like she has her hands on her hips. I added a few little extra lines to make the elbow a bit more obvious, but maybe more again are needed =P

I did all the initial work in Photoshop, then once I had a pretty good idea of how it should look I moved it over to Adobe Illustrator and inked it with vector lines. I've only got the demo so it's the first time I've used it, but it's pretty handy (if you can get over the fact it feels like you are working with a 1995 version of Photoshop...).

Oh I hear ya. I've had this wacom tablet for about 6 months now and I find inking a real pain in the ass. For painting and coloring it’s brilliant, but inking is just, bleh. I still don't have a great system so I'm just trying different programs and different techniques at the moment.

So, the butt is looking a little strange to me, I can't quite make out what I'm seeing there. It looks like she has undies on over her pants? Or she's wearing undies and has on leggings or very high boots? I'm talking about this:



Otherwise it looks damn good. Nice job!
