ok , blocking things out before hand isint bad
smile i used to think i wasnt good enough if i started with a circle or shapes , but noooo , it gives your picture more depth !
thats a rough idea of what im talking about , i blocked her in really quickly
smile if you use circles and cylinders you can avoid straight looking appendages , like arms and legs
NOW i know what kinda look your going for , with the large hands and feet , kinda going out from the elbows and knees
I did it too at one point lol but yah can still improve by tapering and cuveing out some of the shapes
smile 1) bring the cheek out and drop the jaw line just a bit , it will give you more room for the features
2) , i'd say also drop the closed eye - when you close your eye it goes to the bottom of your eyelid , not the top , so it should be closer then the eyeline - also , now that the jaw is dropped you can drop the nose and mouth just a lil , space em out more
3) taper to those elbows !
biggrin give the arms more shape , and add some more defined fingers - now you dont have to do this but dont do the cliche paw..like...really ROUND bumps - how does she grip things ? if she has a human body , give her a little more human hands
smile 4) raise the bottom of the torso , crotch ,ect , if your stylizing its ok to make things longer, but if youre going to hae a long torso you kinda need to make the legs and arms longer too , so shorting up the torso works, and gives her longer legs , which work
biggrin 5 ) DEFINE THE KNEES
biggrin just add little knee marks , and kinda indent your lines , especally in the back one , we need to see that theres some kind of a point where her leg bends -
6) taper in at the knees - give shape to the legs like the arms
smile 6.again? ) damn , wrong number , ANYWAY , as you can see in the blocked out version , you wanna make those feet look like they're standing on somthing ! useing wedge shapes can really help you out , i just kinda threw on some paws to show you what'd it look like.
7) adding some lines and tail fluffys gives the tail volume ^__^
---------------------------------
i love the attitude of the picture ,you have some nice curves going on and you can tell about the character behind it , the style is so cute too
biggrin , all the criqitue up there is just picky stuff - but your're off to a great start XD
hope that helps !
