Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey everyone,

Well I just got my first tablet a couple days ago - and despite not being able to make pressure sensitive strokes (nudge nudge hint hint), I decided that I'm going to start drawing people.

Long story short, I draw adorable fuzzy things. I want to draw elegant smooth things. Usually, I'm just a wildlife artist, but I'd like to toss people onto my list of things that I don't run screaming from.

This is one of the first people I've ever drawn, wtih my new tablet, and I need help. I don't want to go developing any habits or things that I shouldn't.

So, after looking at a few stock photos, and a couple of "how to for beginners" guides, I came up with this girl. I'm never going to finish her. She was drawn to live in my little file of crap that only I will ever see. However, I think I would like some input on this.



Any help is appreciated. Rip this apart for me, will you?

Edit: I know her left arm is fat. Just... pretend that isn't there. I got too tired of battling with my tablet to change it.

In addition to what Bubblegum said:

Her breasts are too high and too angular, as well as slightly off-center, along with her head. (or, alternately, one of her shoulders is shorter than the other)

One of her eyes is differently-shaped than the other, which would look fine in a more realistic style, as humans aren't symmetrical, but it looks odd in such a simplified style. The curve of her nose should be higher; just under her eyebrows, as opposed to level with the bottom of her eyes. Also, I promise you faithfully, unless she plucks her eyebrows weird, it is physically impossible to have one's eyebrows in that shape.
