This is one of my newest works. I know it's not perfect and I didn't expect it to be at any time. It took me a while to get this drawing up to where it is now. I spent 20+ minutes in front of the mirror for this. sweatdrop And I know the smoke is curling up from the wrong place, sorry, I was brain dead at the time. XP

I was inspired by Ora's (Oruha's) curly hair from Clover. I was going for a 70's/space-girl style as well....

So, I'd love comments, critiques, anything. ^^

P.S. Click on the picture!

Proportioning, face, and hair seems good. Her left hand could be a bit bigger tho I like the right hand and the positioning of it. The dress is mighty stiff and that's what I have a bit of a problem with. 1. Put a little more shape to the dress. 2. Have fun with it. Add a bit more creative design. 3. To help the dress look less flat, you could add some stitching, folds, creases, etc. (and maybe lastly but not least, take a bit of the hair on her right side off, or add more to her left side to balance it a bit more)

Other than that. Good job! I love the rest of it! :3 Not bad at all!

I feel her right arm is a bit too stiff, let her wrist bend to show a relaxing feeling. Her shoulders can also be lowered. She's slouching but it feels stiff. Overall I just feel stiffness. I do like how you drew her hair and your style of drawing eyes. Keep working at it and you'll be fine.


PS. I think the smoke should be coming out from the opposite end.

@ Kymmie-chan:
I couldn't find where to add in the folds on the dress. I don't know how to make the illusion that the skirt is like a perfect circle, rather like an upside down cone. I also decided to leave it rather simple. But thanks for the advice!

@ AppleStreet:
Thank you for the help, I'll keep that in mind whenever I'm drawing something similar. Sadly, I can't do anything about it anymore, since it's inked, but it does help. And as for the smoke, I explained about that. I can't believe that I, nor anyone else, caught that before I inked. "vein:

@Skatergr113_krissy:
Thanks. ;D
