here is a little something I've been working on...
Please be honest with me...
<333333





My arms always fall flat since I am not very good at anatomy
>3<  

[APS-tan]

it looks okay =]
pretty eye lashes *3*
but yea, the anatomy is a little strange.
her head is too circular [unless this is a chibi]
try to make it more egg shaped rather than orange shaped.
the boobs are also a bit high up, unless she's wearing a suber bra or something XD
here is an attempted drawover with my mouse, sorry for the messyness sweatdrop

right here is showing the ribcage and hips in blue, and the joints and "skeleton" in green. the blue arrows show which way the whole body is facing, although you could have had the ribcage and hips facing different directions, i just made them both face the same way for convienience.
the green kinda vertical line [looks like a spine] signifies the line of action, which is pretty much the way the body bends, it's kinda boring to have a character with a completely straight line of action, so i curved it a bit.


here is just the general correction of the body silouette, how the boobs should be lowered, etc. etc. most of it was explained in the first picture =]
hope that helped, if you have any other questions or if this was confusing, just ask =]
keep drawing =D

emx2a's draw over is pretty rocking, so I'm going to give some general advice.

And ask a question or two. Do you draw 'nude' first and then add clothing?
Do you do life drawings?
If the answer is no to either, change it to a yes, it makes life heaps easier in the long run. If its already yes, excellent, keep it up.

Things like clothing sit on a person and unless its -super- thin and tight or that paint-on latex, there will always be a lip to it. I'm speaking mostly of her top and her hat. Right now they look attached to her as opposed to sitting upon.
Try to keep in mind what the material likely is (I have a bad habit of not following this suggestion) That way you have an idea how it will sit, fall, fold, all that.
And there's nothing wrong with using photo reference for drawings if you need help figuring how something works. It's best to learn from real occurences than from drawn ones, so reference away.

I hope that helps.

*idea pops into emma's head*
i agree with what eejbeej has said on the clothing and then i thought of a wonderful tutorial on drawing clothes that might help a bit =D
here is is =]
kitten-chan also has some other stellar tutorials [anatomy, hands, feet, and heads] if you want to look at those =]  

[pluto_san]
