Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm working on a doll base, and I've started with a really rough sketch. This is of course much larger than what it'll end up being. I always sketch big and then size down.

Anyway, I'm not going for cutesy anime here, but something a bit more realistic. My intent is to not make them look like 13 year olds, but more mature and adult-like... just so anyone knows.

I'm having the most difficulty at this point with the arms and hands. This is a static pose for just standing still or holding an object. So I want to allow for either/or. I'm not too happy with the hands.

If anyone could give any critique or especially drawovers/photo references or anything of what they have in mind, I'll be extremely grateful.

Thank you muchly!

I think they're overall very well done.
As for the hands, I think what bothers me is the right hand and how more finger tips or knuckles should be visible as otherwise it's really uncomfortable to duplicate. -Tried for herself, to make sure- xD;
Also, making the male hands larger and female feet smaller might be nice, but they look fine as they are. <3
