I think her legs are too short/arms too long. ...I love the background. *.* It looks like there's a light fog in it, and even if that wasn't the intent I love the effect. <3

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< [emoticon]
So I guess my way of trying to make her look small is just shortening things. :/ I'll work on it.

alright- I'll see what I can roast here.

Firsdt thing that pops to my mind- the hand. It's not how it's drwn, but the thumb should be on the other side of the stick- the thumb works best opposable, expecially on that angle.

I like the frosty glow betwe nthe mountians- that's a nice touch. You use a referance for that? What was it I read in a perspective book- atmospheric distorion or something.

I think the forground ground needs a solid texture, or something that is sharp and accurate to give it a sence of 3D

I also reckon you could use some pure white water colour, or slightly watered down stuff to accent the clouds a little [emoticon] Nothing huge- just a bit of a highlight ^^

Hope that helps [emoticon]

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. [emoticon] 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. [emoticon]
