I've been working on this one again, and i again need your assistance. I've left the first drawing so that you guys can check them both. I've drawn the leg closer to her chest and yes, the arm was too long. I've also drew the hand where i had put it at first. Tell me if its better , if the proportion and all are ok???!!! (not a word on her feet, or lack of...., i've declare a war to feet)Thanks!

Feet are overrated as well... give her a pair of hooves and have done with it! I love the way she's sat, great pose.

  Hey You're back!!! Thanks about the review, i'm currently colouring her and i dont know what happened, the grass grew so much it covered her feet. Weird. I think hooves would have made her look too much like Acorna, a caracter of some writer. Thanks again!

Lol I know what you mean about the feet. Ok uh I think everything is looking great. You've made a big improvement since the last version. I agree with Arkillian about the hand. That was exactly what I was going to suggest. You are almost done

  Thanks! Phew, i'm a bit relieved cuz the more i looked at it, the more i felt like everything was out of proportion. I think a very convenient bush will grow where her feet should be, what a coincidense
  !!!! Thanks again

Yes, it's looking much better now, with the arm shorter an dthe leg drawn to her chest. I think you should lower her foot and change the angle a bit, and I love her hand coming from around her legs. All you have to do there is draw the fingers, and I don't think it should be changed.
If you want I think I can help you with the feet. Keep it up hun!

  Hey, I was just wondering, how did you learn to draw?

  hum...well... I've always liked to draw. Before college i never had any drawing classes, except for art class in high school, so i guess i've always had a talent for observation drawing. My teacher in high school said that my motivation was to attract attention by my drawings, since i was a shy girl. College helped a bit, but observation drawing has always been a part of me. I've learned mostly by observing and trying and trying... What about you?

  Wow, that's some determination, so you taught yourself huh? I'm impressed. I don't think I could be as good as I am now without having my drawing classes. Although I do teach myself most of the time since beginning of college. What helped me the most was studying with my art teacher who is an artist himself. I think he taught me what I know about proportions, composition and anatomy. *ramble* I had lessons with him throughout highschool. I don't do much observation studies anymore but at that time I was doing lots of still life and people sketches. Yeah, those drawings do help.

  lol, its not really determination since i've always liked to draw, when you love something it doesn't matter how many hour who pass doing it... I remember in my anatomy classes in college, we had to draw bones and muscles and i remember getting angry while drawing bones because back than i couldn't see the point in drawing bones to draw a body, to draw all i had to do is observe. But i agree with it did help too...i see it now.

  Yep. I often draw the bones first to figure out the body. Although I still haven't drawn many bones like legs and stuff. But I know the general structure. I'm just too lazy. lol.

Oh yes that does look alot better with her leg drawn up more to her chest. I think now the calf (right above where the calf meets the ankle) should be thinned out a bit. There should be more of an "indented arch" right there. I agree with Jill that the fingers should be spaced a tiny bit apart but not much and at the angle you have her at, you probably won't see her thumb at all. So keep up the great work sweetheart. You are doing wonderfully. I can't wait until you get this done. All my love. Mwah!

  Know what hun? I was wrong about the thumb. The thing I was thinking about, I had my hand resting in the crook of my arm (like Bulma in my Vampire Prince (take 2) picture. ) But I found out that if I moved my fngers out to grasp my arm then it does show my thumb. Eheheh... So you are right and I am wrong. >_< So with that said, I must say that it looks wonderful and you WILL get those calves and feet down perfectly. I know you will because you are a brilliant artist and you have too much determination to give up. this is going to turn out beautifully. All my love. Mwah!

It's a big improvement! I like where it's going. Hmm...I really don't see anything else that needs to be looked at. I recomened to space the fingers apart alittle (If you weren't going to in the first place) before you add anymore details.
