Well in my opinion, i think her waist simply look akward. it's a little too large, not defined enough. let it coplement her bust area. as for the skirt, i think you should just make it come a tad lower on her thighs, make it look more natural. as for her arms, they're a little too long, they should end up middle thigh. try to get her V neck higher on her shoulders and lower on her breasts, otherwise it just looks like a pice of cloth that was dropped there. maybe you can try to get a little shading going on on her shirt, like to show the outline of her breasts. the belt-like thing on her waist should be brought down to her hips because it doesn't give opertunity to her curves to show and she would look too fat, which is disproportionate to her face which is thin and defined. I would put a different kind of pantyhose or none because it makes her look old while trying to look young...but that's what i think. 3nodding

no problem! ^ ^ i'm a natural hard critic and I love it. :3 My brother says that it helps him a lot. btw, might I suggest you re-do it and then compare them later so you can see where you go wrong? that's what I like to do. 3nodding

For one make your scanner work, the pictures too dark ^.^;;


Critque

The face is fine in my opinion, top of her head is a little bit weird.
The arms are a tad too long, advice look in the mirror to see the length of the arms in that pose....

Her body looks a little bit scunched up, try making it longer and more delicate, because by the way this picture is drawn, she seems like she is a delicate young woman in a dress....I presume Im right ne?

Try makign her more three dimensional, not everything needs to be shaded.

Hands look a bit funky and feet are uneven...



Compliments

I love the style that you used for this, the hair and face ore beautoful, as well as the outfit design.
May I ask what inspired you to draw this? I am guessing it's gothic lolita right? either that or very dressy? sweatdrop

I think what everyone else said is pretty much right. The only thing I would add is that her knees are a little too far up her legs for their length. If you elongate her torso & skirt a bit, her knees would end up at the midpoint of her legs.....

In general elboes are level with the bellybutton, and the hand is level with the middle of the thiegh when the arm is at ones side. That and the distance from the hip joint to the knee should be about the same as the knee to the bottom of the heel.

The neck and torso make each other seem wrong. Remember that the neck starts at the base of te skull, not the bottom of the chin. If you make up the distance by streching the torso vertically, you will solve two slight misproportions that make each other worse.

One of the things that makes the proportions look off is that from the ankles to the top of her head, we are looking straight at her, but we are also looking at the tops of her feet. A slight angle is good, but that much messes with what we think we are seeing.

Beside that are things like the shoulders not being level and the outfit should behave like cloth. I half agree with Bineko on the neckline. It should be farther in on the shoulders, but anyfarther down, and the blouse would be like a bustia (I know I spelled it wrong.) with sleeves and a skirt. I think the skirt should hang a bit more. It seems to float like gravity doesn't affect it.

I say it's a good starting point, but that the big deal is making the body proportional with itself. The outfit will follow automatically.
