just started this one tonite.
basically it's just a ghost who is trapped behind a big black box and wanted to break out.
i've no idea why i came up with this idea. i just feel like drawing it.

so pls tell me if anything's wrong about the image, anything that you dont like or anything that doesn't look right to you. thank you

I would check the size of her hands before going much further. Everybody�s hand is the same size as their face (from chin to eyebrow) and her hands look a little too big.

I quite like her expression. Hopefully you can add that ghostly feel once your happy with the structure of the drawing.

keep it up.

ilooks good... one thing you could do to make it more ghost like is paint it full vibrant colors on one layer and then just adjust the opcity at the end.might work

thks for the great input guys

so you notice that the hand is a not in proportion. actually what i wanted it to look like is the hand is closer to the viewer than the face. but i guess i fail to do so. i'll have to find a way to fix that.

can you explain a little more about vibrant color? what is it? sorry, but i really dont know.

thks

here is the updated version:

pls point out where there is anything wrong

i've excluded the hands coz i found it too disextrating.
about the eyes, does anyone have any other suggestions?
thks

This is much better. Is she still behind glass? There is a much more ghostly feel to her now. If I were to grumble about something, it would be the grainy horizontal lines in the background. As a suggestion, how about faint (spooky) tree silhouettes in the moonlight? The trick would be trying to avoid making it look cheesy! I think it would be worth it though.

Perhaps that could be too distracting though. hmm...............................
