Heey! I see you've got yourself a belly dancer! I see you're getting better at drawing characters. I like it, the way you have shown her caught in the music. Her expression came off really well. I hink maybe the head needs more work. Her chin should be sharper and it's supposed to edge in middle of her face, you got it a little askew. The head seems a bit too narrow and the ears should be a little lower.
I think it goes well with a Dead Can Dance song. I have one of their albums and I tend to dance along to some of their songs. There's one song in particular this pic reminds me of. Ponder I don't have much else to advise you on, everybody else already told you what to do it seems. I can only add that it's not clear where exactly her legs are, because of the skirt, I think you should define where her legs are.

    Grin I was following some other advice on where her feet should be from Arkillian and I was having such a pain with it I drew in her legs and realized I had the folds all wrong on the skirt Laughing I haven't had time to work on it today though because my babies are sick munchkins and need lots of mommy love but I'm getting to it when I can Grin Thanks for the advice *big hugs!!* Lots of Love Heart

      You're welcome. I know what you're saying, lol, folds are a pain in the butt, is to me. Especially in a piece I do out of my head.Yes I usually first draw the legs or arms. But again mangatutorials can be a good place to look. Well, I hope your babies get well soon. All my love!Upsidedown

        Grin I think my system is more of a jump in and oh criminitly what happened, type of style LOL. I forget about the details in order to get the big pic out of my head which always comes back to bite me in the hinnyDoh I really need to stop doing that, maybe I'll start writing down what I want to draw so I have no fear of forgetting it Laughing That might help me slow down to get forms right before I jump into the rest, maybe anyway Grin

        The boys are better today, but they haven't reached their normal demon statis yet but they've reached small natural desaster statis so they are on their way to full recovery Laughing
