    Not entirely sure as to what this is. It kind of just popped into my head. I may do more in the future, but comments and critiques would be greatly appreciated.

    omg pr0n

    It's really nice. Some more detail/outline on the curvature of the body itself would be better, though.

    I've been drawing pr0n before it was cool.

    Yeah true. This was a speed drawing however... trying to improve with little amount of time as possible lol.
    Thanks for the comment!

    It's a good enough picture for a speed draw. Like If you spent time on it you'd have the neck and left (from her perspective) shoulder a little more clean. Same with the right leg and left hand. Those are a challenge since foreshortening and detail are hard in this style so if you're trying to challenge yourself and improve this is a good exercise. I also think you should have gone with a solid color for the hair rather than leaving holes in it. It looks funny. I feel like there might be better ways to practice than this though, maybe.

    I guess it's not perfect..... You know, not perfect perfect since it was a speed drawing or w/e, but to me, I think it's perfect. I like the look of her body, though the background is a bit meh for me. Did you pull this off your head? Cause that would be awesome. (reads your post again) Nevermind lol




    Also, I had an idea for it. I was thinking of giving her face traditional Japanese makeup and a kimono that is revealing. You could give the kimono a nice fancy design or something, ehhh? Eh? Ehhhhhhh? But that's just me.


    Anyway, I wish I could pull stuff out of my head like that. I gotta draw figures more.....

    Yeah, actually, I may go back on this and refine it like you stated. "Jotting" it down was my main concern before I lost my momentum.

    In regards to practice, it's more of just experimenting with media and styles. I practice with more traditional means such as sketching et cetera.
    Thanks for the critique Jiku.


    I actually thought about you after I made this, in regards to your aesthetic tastes.

    That's a good idea. If I refine this, I'll try that out!
    I was thinking on doing more of these kinds of works. So stay tuned if ya dig.
    Thanks for the critique bro!

    Really like how abstract and unclean the lines are. Gives a different view on the artistic style because everyone tries to get ever line perfect so this style would set you apart from the majority. Gives you a different sense of uniqueness.
