Good work with all the detail, I've just got some redlining on the anatomy.

Quick red line with a couple of things that I fixed:

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


- I'm no expert on profiles, but I just felt the shapes of the profile's you've drawn were a bit odd. The man didn't have much of a chin, and the distance between his upper lip and nose was a bit far. I felt the woman had too long of a face, and tried to shorten it; the shape of the profile wasn't too bad.
- I wasn't sure what kind of expression was meant to be shown on her face... I thought it was more like a nervous grin (because of the sweat drop) so I changed the smile to less of a grimace, and also made her eyebrows worried-ish.
- the body shape needed a bit of fixing, seeing as from side view, it's not that skinny or flat. Again, I'm no pro, but I tried my best. :]
- The bodies were too small for the heads, (especially on the female) so I shrunk the heads and enlarged the bodies.
- The man's neck was crooked, so I straightened it out a bit
- the hand drawn is actually the wrong hand! XD I've done that before too~ If we look at them from this side, the right arm's hand should look more like the purple one I've drawn below, you've drawn his left arm would've looked like from this view. ^^;


Anyways, hope that my redline could help you to improve. Just keep practising and working on that anatomy and you'll definitely get better. 3nodding

Merry (early) christmas!~ heart

Reference, reference, reference!


I've found the best way to improve your abilities is to simply observe.
Drawing from memory or making things up is a lot of fun, however... if you take a picture--- just to get an IDEA of what it should look like and then draw it, it makes your image a LOT better :]!
