My friend said I should post stuff on here, stating that it would be a good way to get critical feedback and tutorials.
He also said that there�s a chance that I'll get a huge wedgie, tarred and feathered and beaten to a pulp. Since I'm into that kind of stuff I decided to go for it and hope for the best/worst.


I drew this wile at school, I figure its my most recent drawing, so I might as well post it first. I don't work in color much, mostly because I don't have much time for coloring.

I was lieing about the masochism thing, I'm actually very delicate. go easy on me, I beg of you.

cool drawing. Some things bother me of the gril though the legs look like men legs and the hands look a little big... the feet also look menish...

I do not have the link with me atm but I am sure some one will post some proportions for a women body link of some sort. But yeah everything going from her torso and head is fine and clothing is fine it is just the legs that bother me the most.

I like the car

I was going for a tougher look for her, actually, I'm sick of girls with willowy long limbs. Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes.
Agree with you about the hands though I do though. I of looked at them when I was done and said out loud so the whole class could hear me and think I was crazy "Damn man, her hands is BIG yo!"
I was immediately ejected from the room, as usual.
Thanks for the props on the car!
I'm actually quite interested to hear what you might have to say about the background, perspective and whatnot. I've heard tell that it seems a little off... got any words on that? the characters supposed to be quite short you see, and I was trying to convey that by placing her head significantly below the horizon line, giving the impression that she's shorter then her observer. I might have gone too far though.

hey! nice linework you've got there!
now for the perspective etc:
the composition isn't that clear.
it's better to emphasize something and letting all the other objects/elements help this compostion:
here the car is too heavy on one side of your pic, could be shown more sideways to create a sort of balance.
according to the character's perspective the horizon should be around her head, not so high above it.
OR redraw her in this high perspective view.
an underlaying grid will help you a lot with
drawing everything in the right perspective.
anyway >> here's a very ruff redraw to explain the whole lot a bit.
here's that same redraw but with some directional lines to show how the point of interest (her head) is "framed" -

Ni-ice, thanks for the pointers, I'll keep them in mind for next time!
