I know it's been a really long time since I've been active in this guild. A lot of things have happened and I lost sight of what I felt was impotent, drawing being one of them.
My goal is to focus a bit more on improving to make up for the lost time.
Foreshortening is something I struggle with as well as colour, light source and composition.

Hey! I think it looks really nice. I'm not immediately seeing a whole lot that looks off (though doubtless someone else can help point stuff out). I'd double check the hips and the legs just a bit more.

Other, kind of picky detail would be the lower hand. It looks a version of relaxed, but also tensed. I'm not sure what you're doing with it or what you want it to be doing. And the higher one looks like she should be gripping something. If that isn't your intent, then you might want to look into fixing that as well.

Overall, I really like the flow. The cloth is nicely done and I like the expression too. ^^ GL!

I like it, a lot. The pose is nice. I take issue with the rotundness of the thighs...but that's probably just me.

Her torso seems a little short, as well.

Other than that, there's not much I can say or nitpick on. Nice job ♥

I'm sorry I haven't been able to update sooner on this.
Okay, I did another sketch. I don't really like it though, the head doesn't seem attached. Hands will come with a third attempt. I was thinking of giveing her a staff. She's supposed to be a Wizard, but the bare hands is more of a sorcerer thing. (the tense/ relaxed hand was supposed to show spell-casting.)

And now for some stuff from my sketchbook.
