Current WIP
Crits appreciated.
I never get crits on my WIPs. Ever.
It's getting frustrating D:

Hello!
I'm not particularly wizardly at proportions, so I hope I don't say anything ridiculous - forgive me if I do.

At a glance it's hard to tell the gender of the person. The nose and jawline seems pretty broad and mannish, and they have a bit of flab, so it's a guess between a tomboyish girl and a slightly pudgy guy with man boobs. Or maybe that's exactly the look you're after.
Nice detailing on the face - though alittle more needed for the hands to define the length of fingers/hand angle/relation to forearm.
The thighs could be alittle longer - should probably be roughly of similar length to the shins/calves.

Thanks for the feedback!

I was thinking kindof like a masculine woman, but not to an androgynous extent xD

Maybe I'll change the nose, and hopefully that helps a bit x:

I would say that the main things hindering this piece artwork are the bold, thick lines. Try not to delineate so much but instead focus on the real shapes and forms you are trying to achieve.
I also would've liked to see her in some sort of atmosphere? Even a hint of her shadow would've been nice. She's just sort of there, in a white empty void, which probably isn't helped by the thick outline.
In general, though, not bad. And you did pretty well regarding her proportions.

Hm, okay!
I haven't quite figured out how to achieve nice looking lineart just yet ._.

Latest update to the WIP
I have been slooowly working on this for EVER.
I'm lazy.

Also I just screencap'd it because saving and uploading the full sized image would take for EVER.
so sorry about the bad quality.
