Avi Art.

Someone decided to tell me my avi looks like a boy so I tried some avi art to stick in my siggy, but it looks off. I used a ref picture but I can't tell how to fix it well. The legs annoying me the most but also the shoulder area and face position. Read line it? :3

The way I draw it isn't completely right, but this is all I can critique on:

The head is too small for the body? I'm not an expert, and I know my anime style makes me want to draw big heads, but I really think her head is too small for her body.

The neck is kind of turned too much. I made it a more comfortable angle.

I'm not good at drawing shoulder's, so I can't help you there that much.

The arms, you had a good idea of how to draw. But you just needed to try to visualize them in perspective? The way I draw arms again isn't perfect, I'm not good at drawing arms in perspective either. I feel like a hypocrit doing a redline.

I shortened the torso a little too. Girls usually don't have as long of a torso as guys. USUALLY. I know in real life, you'll probably run into a girl with a torso that's as long as a guy's but erm. It's just a suggestion to make her look more girly.

You did a good job of giving her curves. I love curves biggrin !!!

You had a really good idea about how to draw the legs too. I just shortened them. Just a little perspective issue again. And yeah, mine aren't perfect either >__<;;;

If you had a ref picture, you could always overlay your sketch over the ref picture and correct yourself like that? I know my redline probably looks nothing like your original ref picture, sorry. >___<;;;

Yay curves! Which should make it blantly obvious I'm a girl if the hooker boots didn't already. Thanks for your help, even if you couldn't draw something I think it's easier to find specific faults in someone else's work so your being a great help.

Well yeah but that requires printing and blab blab blab. I learned tracing paper is not see through on computer screens trying to fix it. Or regular paper.

Despite the fact that her head was down and her hand was in her hair in the ref (I'd link it but shes naked) that looks a lot more perspectivey then mine. :3 Thank you.

Click for fullsize.
I worked on it during school, also convinced one of the guys to try to help me with the feet. They we're as big as her head when he did but the top one looks slightly better. I mostly just pinstripped stuff for fun and time killing.
