Just some quibbles:

- Head is a tiny bit too small
- Left arm should be smaller, because of perspective
- Thighs are a bit on the thick side
- Right calf looks like it is splayed out at a very awkward angle
- That's probably the flattest butt I've ever seen [wink]

The last one would probably not be an issue if her thighs were a bit less chunky.


Good work overall, though - I like the pose and the composition with the backdrop. The coloration definitely adds a lot as well.

i'd tap it

Oh well geez, how about I just roll over and die.



Nah, I really appreciate the feedback [grin]

The head - I know, it was bugging me the whole time. See what happened was once I put the hat on it covered her eyes up too much, so I had to fudge it and move her face down a bit. It does make it look a bit to small but with my noobtastic skills I couldn’t figure out how to fix it [smile]

Left arm - True, I forgot about that!

Thighs - HA, yeah good point. I suck terribly at drawing legs.

Calf - It's probably because the legs are cut off. It's not at much of an odd angle, but without the whole leg it sorta screws up which way the legs are pointing.

Butt - I had so much trouble drawing that. I was worried it looked too fat at first, then I made it too flat, then too fat again. I tried to settle in the middle somewhere but you are right, it's still a bit too flat. I guess it's a good excuse to study females asses now!

Cheers ApochPiQ [smile]

@ Downgraded - What wouldn't you tap?

I'm trying to teach myself proper colour usage at the moment as well, so I'm not exactly speaking from expert experience here, but have you tried using a colour a bit browner or redder for the shading? You've currently done the shading with a touch of black ink, but for some reason it doesn't look quite like the right colour to me. Of course I'm still trying to build up my intuition on this, so I could be wrong.

I also got a bit confused with the background - maybe because orange is essentially the same hue as pink skin colour. Or maybe because it looks like a setting sun but the light source is coming from in front of the screen to the left.

The reason it looks more black than a darker skin color is the result of me faffing about with it for too long. I kept changing my mind so many times (I'm still new to coloring) that the original shades all kinda got muddled together [sad]. Part of why it also looks a bit odd is also probably because of….

THIS [grin] I didn't think of that at the time. The background isn't actually supposed to be the light source, I just threw that circle in at the end. It does make it a bit confusing doesn’t it? I wonder if there’s a way to fix it...mmm...

I changed the color of the skin a bit and tried to make the background match the light source a bit more. Still not perfect but eh, it'll do [smile].

"Is that a cactus in the window or are you just happy to see me?"

It's looking a lot better with the warmer shading; I like it.

Woo! Thanks Trapper Zoid [smile]

Heh, she looks like one of the waitresses at a bar here in Calgary called Cowboys (a horrible place I might add)... although she's a little conservatively dressed in comparison.
