    She (???) has no chin, her hands look rubbery, her hair is unrealistic (not even for anime standards) and her nose looks like one of an eagle and it is too far away from the lips.
    She also lacks breasts and her belly is rounding up like she is pregnant and in her 3rd month.


    Basic human anatomy would help drawing this A LOT.

    Also perspective lol

    That's her other arm, if you look closely She's no pregnant..And not all girl's have boobs... omg >:/

    I love the eye the most, it's so beautiful...
    But anyways, I think you should give her a little more chin, and draw the hole side of the arm. Like the shoulder part cuts off and then there's the arm. When drawing it sideways it should connect. It's a wonderful job, awesome job... I just love the eye..... :3

    I think you should reread my post and get what I was pointing out.

    It's not particularly bad or anything but there are some flaws that you should work on. When drawing people it's a prudent decision to study up a tad on foreshortening because creating depth is what make the difference between it looking bad or good in some cases. I also suggest a quick study on bone structure and musculature. Once you know how those work you can build anything you want on top of the template and it helps to prevent the blob-like shapelessness I see here. You could do to consider doing hair differently but it isn't truly necessary. The issues I site are really nothing that practice will not remedy.

    LOL xD Thanks, i'll work on the pupils

    first of all, i didn't draw a pregnant girl xD The breasts are there and her arm on is the other side

    Okay, I'll work a little more on that

    I will take your critisim seriously if you say don't say I'm an ameture, i've been drawing a while, and i put alot of confidence in the drawings. I will work on the areas and check on anatomy of drawing..

    I am really glad that you gave me critisism... i can barely get any.. <3 I appreciate your honesty too.



    lol Why thank you =]

    I didn't say that she was pregnant, what I said was that her entire torso (chest and belly) were shaped unnaturally, I used the pregnant woman as a comparison so I could express my opinion more clearly.

    Also when I said her hands were rubbery, I meant that one of the arms was bent (her left one I) abnormally, like it was a wire, rather then a hand

    In a normal arm you can see where one bone ends and the other starts because you can see the elbow clearly, in your drawing you can only guess where the elbow is, thus making the arm look like it has no bones


    I did not spam, I just responded to a person that disagreed with my opinion and tried to "correct" it. That's not against the rules now is it?


    I know this wasn't directed to me, but I just have to say that you are one till you start getting money for your work...

    Despite the unfortunate connotations, the word amateur just means that you do your work for yourself rather than for profit, at one time the Olympics were only for amateurs so don't get the wrong idea, amateur versus professional quality isn't always defined by a large difference. But I won't continue to use the word if it so offends you.

    Cupcake honey, you sound like you're taking the critique as an insult. Cocky artists never get anywhere with their work, it's best to own up to your mistakes and make them better then believe you are the best **** in the world, because if you do start to act like that, no one's going to care about your work anymore. I mean if people are really going to waiste their time on telling their opinions about it, then you should take those things into mind. Here's one thing I want to give to you that my first art teacher told me:
    "If it's your first time doing something wrong, it's a mistake. Mistakes can always be fixed. If you do it again, it's a habit."
    If you're very serious about art then, Learn from others advice and stop making habits.
    And you are an ameture, you're still hugely a beginner. I consider myself one, too.

    Some things I found wrong that you can fix:
    I agree with Xidon in the whole 'She has that pregnant look'. Really, I can't tell if it's a guy or a girl because of it's shape. I'm guessing it's a girl, yes? Well, women are really made to make babies, meaning they have hips. Even from a profile view, you're still going to be able to see that. Her hair looks really strange, like a raccoon is on her head, or she has a dis figured mullet. Hair won't ever be that think and massy. If you look at really like pictures, hair always has a flow, kinda like water, but always goes downward unless there is gel being used.

    I'm not going to pick out every detail wrong with this piece, because that's mostly already been done. What I do recommend is something that great artists do until they can get every detail perfect. I'm not really sure what it's called but it is helpful. What you do is draw a piece and you keep editing it until you think it's the best it can be. Then you get peoples thoughts, and improve on it and keep working. When I do this, I usually spend 3-7 hours doing this. It's really for people with true patients.

    Please keep working on it.

    I'm not taking it as an insult, i'm actually proud to get critisism... lol...

    I don't see how anyone gets that she looks pregnant. She is skinny.. Left arm is against her side but her right arm is sticking out, which might give the impression of a pregnant girl...
    Also, with the hair,.. She is sitting back in a small seat and her hair is on the other side of the chair's back and i tried to make it look braided. I guess i kind failed at that xD

    I'll keep trying on the hair, thanks Hissy <3

    It looks like shes deformed. Her arm on her stomach is weirdly shaped and looks nothing at all like an arm.

    I don't even see a seat. o-o
