I was watching an episode of Blood+ with a terrible itch to draw. As a result, I made a Saya-like picture. Since it was in the dark, it was hard to recall my mistakes, and now I'm too afraid to erase the wrong mistake and ruin the picture, so you think you could give me some help?

I think you have most of the anatomy down pat! It's just the perspective tripping you up. It just seems like her feet are standing on anything, and she's not grounded all the way. Don't get my wrong, because I have trouble doing it too .___.

(err, yeah, I took some liberties with the angling and some of the pose, but you should ignroe that if you don't like that.)

One other thing was that her hair didn't cover her head all the way. Well, her hair did cover her head, but just barely!

Also, her feat seemed a little too small. The length of a foot is usually the length of the forearm (elbow joint to wrist) it's not always, but that's the normal standard (at least that's how I learned it)

Overall, it's a cute character design ^^ You seem to know your proportions and you have a pretty nice grasp on anatomy. All that's left to work on is perspective, and refining your anatomy skills :3 ! Keep up the good work!

Well, I didn't really want her body to face us, just the head. xD One of her feet was supposed to look as if she was just stepping down, but I went and bended the other leg too. e.e
As for the hair thing, I don't understand. Dx All I know is that I wanted to do short hair for once. .__.
For the feet thing, I'm new. xDDD I'll be sure to make them bigger next time!
Thank you for your help. ^^

Okay, just forget the hair comment

I didn't want to draw her legs angled this way before because I couldn't figure out how to draw it without it looking like she twisted her hip sorry about that.

The only thing I wanted you to focus on were the length of her legs and her feet. That's the only problem, otherwise, it is a great picture.

The right foot was supposed to be in the air. xD Thanks a bunch for your help, though. <3 I'll make the feet bigger and the legs longer next time.
