This is kind of an old drawing now, but photobucket has been a b*tch with me and I can't seem to upload any new photos nor drawings, so for the time being I will be linking my posts to my DA gallery.

Anyway! here's a drawing I did for the woman that currently owns my chicken heart
(even though she doesn't like me back D=!) Erm!

Afternoon Walk

Getting back into topic...what do you guys think?

You captured the womanly walk pretty well. However, my biggest problem is that with the way she's walking, she's walking at an angle. To fix this, you just need to redraw her back leg so that it's not as crossed over. That kind of walk is real, but it's mostly what fashion models use (catwalk), so it's a tad awkward to be strutting in the streets.

Other nitpicks. The guy's eyes are off-center and not angled correctly with the face. Her breasts are also at an odd angle in comparison to the rest of her body.

Very lovely background, by the way.

I like it. A few things though if you are wanting a critique.

The guy's facial expression looks like he sees someone he wants to kill, and is very agitated. Just doesn't seem to fit the rest of the picture very well.

As for the girl, her left hand (our right) looks very funky. Due to the angle I'm sure, but it kind of looks like she's trying to pick pocket him. I'm fairly confident in saying that the reason it looks so odd is because of where the muscle of her arm is. Since it's on the side closest to the body, that should be close to where the top of the wrist is, so I think that's why.

Also, her breasts aren't right. They seem a little high (not much), at least on her right side (our left). And one last thing, it kind of looks like the guy is slouching a little. I don't know if that was intended or not.

Really great piece though.

looks awesome! the coloring is nice. I think maybe more shadows and it would give it more depth.

I agree with what others have said, and I think the bottom of her crotch is too high compared to how low her wrist is on the arm to our right. If you flip the picture, the guy almost looks like he's gonna fall over.
I think the painted line on the road looks off center or not in perspective or something, assuming there's just one line in the center... I dunno how wide that road is meant to be.

Looks quite nice overall, though.
