Hey! Thanks for coming in. I'll be posting art I'm currently working on and things I've already finished for critiques. I would really appreciate any help you could give me. 3nodding

What I'm Currently Working On

User Image
Here's a new edit I did with some help from Danaidae and my friend Keely. KEely helped me for the hair and the facial features, but then I used Danaidae's posemaniac pictures for the arms, chest, and back.
First edit
Here's some red lines I did myself, just of what I wanted to fix. If anyone sees something else, feel free to add.
First Sketch
I'm going over it in PS to paint it. I just want to make sure the anatomy and stuff is correct. The thing I'm most concerned with is her chest. I didn't use any references for this, so it may not look very realistic. And her shoulder as well. If you could give me a comment or suggestion or even red lines, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you all! ♥

Finished Art From My DA

Feel free to add any comments or critiques, but take note that I probably won't go back to change it. But rather, I'll most likely keep it in mind when drawing another picture.

Hi there!

I think you're off to a pretty good start but there are a few anatomical issues that can be a bit distracting. The most obvious of them is probably her shoulder/upper-arm and torso area. In comparison to her head, her thin upper-arm and her elbow? make the torso look a lot smaller. Here are a few reference images [though they're not quite the same pose you're going for] that might help you with arm positioning and the shape of her chest: [muscle figures in case you might have people around you that will think "wtf are you looking at?"]

Hello. Thank you. I'll take a look at these and go over again and see how it looks.
