Now that I have your attention

this pic, caused me great trouble, I can draw femails side on, i can even draw them front on, but when it comes to drawing them on a different axis, i get all confused, any way after about 2 hours of drawing, erasing ect... this is the pose i came up with, i think it looks good, but no-matter how much i tried i just couldn't get that darn foot right, can someone show us how i should do it. And if you have any c&c, which i know there will be, go for your life

I like it! My monitor is at 800x600 (augh, red flag!) (novice alert!) (heh heh!) so I had to scroll down on the small version. As far as framing goes, she looked just great, but perhaps when you can see the feet and the head in the same shot it looks different. Maybe. You're hard on yourself; it's very well done.

Are you doing barefoot or a boot thing? My only suggestion would be to not worry, heh heh! Most people can't draw hands or feet or most body parts at ANY axis. She's cool here.

If you simply must have a crit, I'd shorten her left leg (the one with no boot yet). If she's standing on a surface, the perspective should "push" that leg back, laying flat perhaps 1cm higher than the right one. Hard to see until you've drawn it, but you know.

Really, she's very nicely done. If it were me, I'd stuff her in a two-foot patch of grass and not even draw below her knees.

But I'm horribly lazy. And can't draw. Heh heh heh!

Yes i do believe youv'e got it little bee, long grass = no feet, I think she should be barefoot, but tell me otherwise, I'll see if i can post a smaller version of it. More comments = Happier me.

little bee's not a very tough name, unless your a female.

Yeah, Little Bee is kind of weak, but it holds a lot of importance to me. Also has a kinky little-girl anime feel to it, but I'm unfortunately male.

Wait. Let me rephrase that.

Hmm. I'm GLAD I'm male, but, hmm. Wait.

Just check out my Bee gallery, you'll see what I've been up to on that. It could be worse; I used to BE FEMALE, or at least as a stage name for techno. Not that good, even.

All of this is SERIOUSLY going to hurt my PR, heh heh!

Yes little bee, your image has been tainted.

I gave the foot a go and shortened the leg a tad, i also took out the feathers, I'll start painting now,

If someone want's to have a go, feel free

her pose and upper part looks good to me, but something looks wrong on the pants. it needs more definition of the body. i pointed out what i mean below, hope it�s helpful

Well i dont know but her posture feels a bit wrong for where she is aiming. Archers usually stand entierly on the side, one arm straight out and the other one close to the body. The hand and the bowstring resting on the cheek. I guess her current pose should be ok if she was aiming directly at us.

Oh and the arrow should be on the other side of the bow. This way she is up for eye surgery

Hey thatnks Probus for that redraw of the legs, that was the part i had most trouble with, it makes more sense your way.

I tried putting her side on, but it just didn't look right, i felt that keeping the arch of the spine flowing throughout the body looked better. I was hoping no-one would notice the arrow thing, also the arrow, should probably be resting on her hand. But this isn't really an action shot, more of a....well.... kind of a sexy pose.

*yes swany you fooled them all, hahahaha, tha fools!*

SHUT UP BRAIN

I think that the torso looks a bit too long. That is the thing that is bothering me about her.

Overall you caught the proportions right on...but the short stumpy legs make it look weird. But maybe there is something wrong with my eyes.

Anyway, I did a quick correction on what I think (proportionally) looks better. By the way, I just cut and pasted parts of the image...I didnt do a paint over.

I was starting to add some color to the pic, when all of a sudden, i found that i'm not good at coloring, i did the hair alright for my first go at hair, and also the fur came out good, but i stuffed the skin up pretty bad and her face sucks now. maybe i'll have to redo the skin. I think one of those wacom thingymabobs would come in handy

here's what it looks like, i have to change the bottom half because robert told me too
