Nice picture, but I have a few comments... The bottom half of the legs seem quite short compared to the top half; that might just be a style-thing though. Also, I believe she could use a little bit of slenderizing around the wrists and possibly around the elbows. I epsecially like the head and the feet... Being able to draw feet that well is a rare gift.

I drew this on file paper and a blue ball point pen during a boring lecture ^_^ I have massive art supplies! I also won the award in school for "Person not able to draw in any style not resembling some sort of manga." I don't know if I should take that as an insult -_-;;

"welcome to the hotel californiaaa..."

actually that's the first time I tried drawing feet, so it's just my beginners luck.

And here I was thinking there was no such thing as beginner's luck when it came to drawing.

Damn you, YarpsDat.

I'm damned.
and I'm propably the only case

(and I'm already afraid of the nightmare my second attempt to draw feet turns into)

A head is suppose to fit approx 7 times into a body length o_O ooooooOOOOOOooooooo the things you learn in art class ^_^

Actually, it's 2 to 7 heads, mattering on how "cartoony" it should look.

bad simon, very bad,
now go and bury it, maybe then you'll learn not to kill threads!

and I say your drawing looks ok, but it's a bit messy, and I don't know whether it's poorly erased pencil or a shadow, and that's disturbing.
and the shading looks weird,
I don think it should look like this
////||||||
----##\\\\
----\\\///
---\\---//

if you know what I mean
(well, I don't but I post it anyway)

Needs hips, thinner wrists, and longer legs. I was actually going to say this before but I got d/c as I was typing and just gave up instead

and I guess the reason is that terrible dark stripe on the left?
looks like it's from a note book, and that part of the page wasn't pressed to the scanner surface.
you can compensate things like that with a bit of gradient,- just spray white over that (on a separate layer of course), and it should look ok.

. . .poorly erased pencil. This is from a sketchbook I've been trying to keep alive since . . .Oh, about July. (I'm horribly cheap when it comes to buying things for myself.)

That's nothing. I've had this one little sketchbook since about 2 years ago, and I still use it whenever I need to make a tiny sketch or something.

I will say it was nice getting a bigger one awhile back, though.

Levels should take care of that too.

Levels? is that something like a simplified version of curves?

I see an obvious win/win situation here: send me fan art! I'll post it on the site, you can reference the pic in here, and we'll both be better off . . . I think.
