Yes, when I had already inked the head and the hand, I found my tiniest working pen, and decided to try something new. The lines are thicker where they are bent or meet other lines, with exceptions for the veil. The veil is half transparent, and is drawn in thin lines only. Everything seen throughthe veil is therefore in thin lines.

The dress is a three layer thing, with skirt, knee long full arm and high neck dress and on top off all that, a jacket sort of shirt that reaches down just below the elbow. The hair is gathered in a bun on the head, with the ornamented hair piece around it holding the veil on place.

I know the ears are not completely in line, and one looks bigger than the other, but what do you think? Sorry for the big text at the bottom, the whole picture is meant to be a lot smaller ^^;

It's really well done, and it's especially great that you're experimenting with line styles! Try pushing it a little further and work on keeping your lines straight and clean; it looks a little "squiggly" in areas. hehe

Other than that, there are a few anatomical errors, but nothing too serious.

I would only suggest working on fabric folds some more. This character's clothes look a bit bulky (thought with a little more detail the veil would be very lovely!), so practice by drawing more clothing and fabric - preferably from life so you can get a better sense of how it moves and behaves when creased. 3nodding

Keep it up! You've got lots of potential!

Sorry about the squiggly stuff, my hands are a bit shaky so I usually edit those away in the computer ^^;
I didn't know there could be anatomical errors in that (well, except the odd eyebrows...), it's the most covered-up body I've drawn since the square and triangular dresses I did as a child XP
I used a drawing in a Russian guide book as reference, but added in a whole load of creases so that it would look more flowing - or at least less heavy - than the original. I didn't put much detail in the veil due to the squibble syndrome XD Since you pointed it out I might use a pre-set brush for it when I'm colouring, but I don't think I dare trust my hands with patterns @~@

Thank you very much for your comment ^^
