Ahahahagagshagdhsaghd I'm really happy with this, but I wannit to be perfect. PLEASE say anything you feel is kinda spotty about this image. Don't be shy!
Redline it, comment me, note me, WHATEVER. Just help! Even if you don't think anything's wrong, tell me! xD
I'm sorry for the colors. It was really hard not to dress it up just a LITTLE.
Also, I'm drinking Nesquik chocolate milk and it is creamy and delicioussssss...
Omai. That's sexah. I can't really see anything wrong with this. The only thing that catches my eye when staring at it for a while is the top part of her right ankle. It might just be me but it looks like it bends in a weird way to me D: But god. This looks really nice c:
<333 Thank you, Merc. I see what you mean - I enlarged the foot in PS because it was too small, but I guess I didn't fix the ankle. That, and I was prolly trying to be all stylistic... and it failed. xD Thanks!
Her shoulders seem to be a bit to broad and the tail looks a bit awkward. Her pinkie finger (the one closest to her face) looks a bit squished since the knuckle is larger than the base of the finger.
Other than that, I don't see much else wrong with her. *nods*
How do you think I could fix the shoulders? Sloping them more... bringing the edge of the arm closer to her body?
Ah, the pinkie finger. I would have fixed that. This is a 4-inch doodle blown up, btw. xD
Not sure how I'd do the tail. I was trying to put it in there, but I couldn't figure out how. I didnt want it all up around her ffet, or curling beside her... It was supposed t look like it kindof... fell over to the side as it drooped over the bed.
Hiya! I got your critique request, so here I am. To be honest, I'm not real keen on pointing out flaws, but I'll try to keep your request and apparent intent (as suggested by the picture) in mind. I usually recommend that people practice and then draw another picture rather than obsessing over a single drawing, so you can apply what I say either way.
First off, I think you did a nice job on this. The quality of the anatomy is above average. I'm especially attracted to the details of her fingers and toes. Her arm, shoulder, and collarbone area have lovely lines too.
If you really want critique, I'll focus on the face and hair. Just remember that I don't think any of this is bad: I'm just pointing out areas you could kill a few trees on and be happy with the results.
Face: very lean and narrow. Now, this might be what you intended given her elvish look, but if so it might be good to make her head a little bigger overall to keep it a good fit for her body. example
If portraits/heads are difficult for you, here is an exercise that might help. I have trouble fitting heads on bodies too, so you're not alone there.
Also, it looks like her hairline drops a little low and the hair nearest her head is drawn flat against her skull. Move the hairline up a tad and fluff the locks around her skull; both head and hair will look better.
The other slight nitpick would be the hair falling over her left shoulder (and I mean her left, so it's toward the right edge of the picture). I have curly hair, and it's hard to draw . What I've been doing lately is 5-30 second studies on scratch paper. At work, when I watch the desk, I scribble random people's hairstyles on old shipment slips. At home, it's fun to do studies out of hairstyle magazines. Great Hair is a nice reference with lots of different styles. You might be able to find it or something similar at your library.
Depending on her physique and how much depth you want in the picture, you could also pull her butt to the right a little to increase the overlap factor. On the other hand, if she has a long back, it's probably fine where it is.
Again I think you did a nice job with this; with the possible exception of the head, your anatomy is looking good; you have some beautiful lines. I would encourage you to do a few hair and portrait studies and then draw another picture instead of overworking this one, but that's up to you.
I really appreciate the padding you put down there xD <3
Actually fitting the heads on the bodies has proven a little much at times. Hairlines, too. She's supposed to have a really prominent widow's peak, but I'm not always sure how to pull that off so it looks nice. Thanks for the links. :'D
To be completely honest, her butt's huge. xD Now that I'm looking over the picture more, I don't think that's coming across so much... I'll experiment with that.
DeviantART has partnered with FAIR to help promote equality through The Love Unites Shepard Fairey Equality Project. We're asking deviants to align themselves with this cause and have their work judged by Shepard Fairey himself!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Project Comment is a project that features the generally obscured and underappreciated artists and their art in regular news articles. Our objective is to recognise deviants who deserve more recognition and to feature deviations with less than 10 original comments.
The 0-5 Comments Issues feature a deviant as well as 3 deviations with less than 5 original comments from a wide selection of art. Please give your time to this article and to write constructive comments so that you make a true difference to the artists featured here.
The Deviousness Award is an accolade which is traditionally handed out on the 1st of every month to one trully outstanding deviant. `Cyantre is one of the most helpful deviants within our community.

Always looking for ways in which he can get more involved in our community, John's positive presence is to be aspired to.

Ah... *nods*
Well, it looks like it's coming from between her legs. Maybe a more defined bump at the base to show where it starts?
LOL, OH. xD Okay, I gotcha. WHOOPS. Oh God, I can't stop laughing. xD
