From a real life model with cohl sticks, not pencils but sticks that was blunt and difficult to hold. I know the head is a bit big but she is actually that short and has that small feet. Other comments appriciated. smile

very nice for a sketch. i actually like it very much without the face. xd the only thing i can say is that the direction of the zipper is a little miss leading from the angle of the body.

i like it without the face, but you could add one if you wanted to. i really like how natural the post looks, those hand-on-hip poses are hard. and out of curiosity, what is she leaning on?

Thanks guys. It was a chair but I was too lazy to draw that. xd
Good point about the zipper, I don't remember what it looked like in real life.

her leg from her knee down is too short
either that or her torso is too long
her right [our right] shoulder should be a teeny bit higher than the left bc she has her hand on her hip and the way her breats are facing is a little off, if her top body is positioned so the breasts face that way, you shouldn't be able to see the entire right shoulder as if you were seeing her from a frontal view

something like this would make more sense for the torso:

and when you do sketches, its best if you don't go over the same line more than once, it looks like you went over the outer outline of the figure several times with the charcoal - it makes sketches more rigid

I agree about the boobies.

eek You have a mannequin as reference for proportions? They must be the worst attemt of a human body ever. You might be right in what you're saying, but that doll is not more proportional than my sketch. xd

well higher-end manequins are based off perfect model proportions [and real human figures], which are a little more elongated than the average body - the neck and the legs are usually longer on models than us regular folk.
i was only using it as a reference for the chest area
i don't use manequins for my own work at all.
