well... she's nude, but you don't actually see anything, but I figured I'd stick the warning on there anyhoo...

this is about 70% done... excuse the horrible green background, I'm painting that later tonight... I need some more refinement on the arms, and definately on the hand as the right one (her left) looks awfully flat...

Reference was used, I'll post it when I post the finished image, couldn't bring it in with me today. =)

anyhow, any crits and comments you have would be greatly apreciated =)

thanks

Her hair is looking auburn to me, and I have my colors tweaked well. Her left eye is slightly higher than her right eye. Has promise. Something seems off with skin-tone, but color-theory is not my strongest area to argue.

Good start. The only main problem i see is the length and width of the torso. It seems to be incongruent with the size of the rib-cage and higher. The waist and rib cage on an average woman is much larger.

I will not comment on the colour since you are working at it. Yes. The green has got to go. Good job.

Hi strata, I think this pic will turn out really good. My only crits would be, try not to fall into the trap of sharpening edges too much. For example, the outline of her chin and cheek is really sharp. Even though it is nicely refined, it can make the image look more 'cut out' and it will lose it's 3d qualities effectively flatting out your picture. Play around with your edges, leaving some sharp and making others slightly blurred.

My last crit would be that the skin tones are looking a little pale. Try subtly incorporating some blues, greens and deep reds for your shadows instead of grey.

I hope my crits will be of some help, if you disagree, that's fine, it's only my opinion.
Good luck with the image, I'm sure it will turn out great
