Introduction-#1/100

Hm, her arms are a bit long aren't they? _ _ She is a very small woman-only 4'4, but I don't know how to show that unless she's with another character. (Her boyfriend is like 7 feet tall so-I'd get yelled at for that too. >o<
So I guess my way of trying to make her look small is just shortening things. :/ I'll work on it.

I need some reference of her hands-I NEVER do this right. :/ I can't draw hands to begin with. So I don't know why I bother. ><;
No reference for the picture-I was just thinking of the backrounds DaVinci used, with his chiaroscuro technique? And I thought-"that looks like her world" and added some pointy mountains. They are so pwetty.
What do you mean by adding texture to the foreground?

Where she's standing is where I mean. It's as close as her, so should have the same level of detail- at minimum, it should have shadows or some thing ^^

Hands aren't too hard if you remember that the thumb is opposable. Try the poses on your own hands first- photograph them so you cansee them if you must. Everyone hates hands. Including me. That and shoes. That's why all my shoes are masses of black unless I have to make detail ^^

I see what you mean, she's rather flat in comparison with the backround. I think my problem is that I included the backround on a whim, and didn't go back to place her into the whole scheme of the drawing-and the light source has changed too! >< Ah well, live and learn. Thank you for the advise.
