Welcome to Gaia! ::

i mean as far as it goes its okay to look at

but id be blind and stupid if i didnt admit the anatomy is waaay off.


for example the tits????
i know they wouldnt look like that given her position ....

but i cant figure out the proper placement :{

if someone could redline her body the way its SUPPOSED to look
instead of this .... w/e it is that would be great.



also, does anyone know anything about elbows?

i find myself really lacking in the department of making them look real and or 3d or w/e???


actually arms in general i have a big problem shading
tips and pointers would be <3333

(links to tutorials would be rad too ty)

All I can say is "Egad, ribs".

The ribs seem correct, it's just not my bag.

If you are going for the emaciated look, I think her shoulders are too beefy. Seems to me that someone with ribs that visible would have less meat on her arms.

I think this could have looked better with the inclusion of that hand that goes behind the hip; it just seems awkward that it disappears like that. As for the chest area - I don't think there's a whole lot terribly wrong with the breasts, they just seem flat because of the pattern on the bikini. That said, the way the little string in the middle hangs is kind of weird to me - like, it should be taut or something. That's nitpicking, though.

sometimes just hinting at the hands is a lot better than forcing them to hide behind the figure. oftentimes people notice that a lot more than having hands that looks a little weird or out of proportion.

i think just omitting the two lines that outline the ribs would give it a softer feel. your coloring already hints at the ribs and having the additional lines there gives the feeling of having her a little too angular. i guess you could also lighten up the coloring of the ribs if you wanted to keep the lines...but it definitely feels like a case of 'either or' from my perspective.

the bikini feels a little weird to me because of the line that attaches the two sides are droopy. it gives me the impression that they're made of a hard material like plastic or that she's wearing something that's too large and/or didn't really adjust her bikini to fit her. another thing that's giving the flatness would be the fact that the bikini cup line and her breasts share the same line (especially the one that's pointing outwards). it might be good to exaggerate that a little by having the bikini be a tad thicker and therefore have it's own outward line instead of sharing it with the rest of the silhouette. but that's a matter of style if you want to keep with the flatness (it's not a bad thing) and having it be more stylized.

i like your style though :3

No actually i look at my own body and try to draw from that for anatomy, truth be told

i dont like this assumption that i havent tried to use a reference,
it must mean that my translating it from image to art must be really bad

gonk gonk gonk

oh god

crying


and i agree about the hands thing im trying to like
look at one of those signlanguage alphabets i hear those are good for practise

The ribs remind me of what the Nazis did. They made their victims look like alive skeletons. The hips could use a dash of meat too. Everything else seems fine.
