If there is one thing I would love to be able to draw it's the female form, any suggestions on how to start? I have almost no art exp. Your stuff is great!

Well, sadly, if you're at the beginning, those ridiculous art books that talk about basic shapes and skeletons and all that ARE an excellent place to start (it's not especially fun, but they make points that are valid for all styles, usually). Proportion is a huge key, but so many artists have successfully created their own rules for them, that it's impossible to suggest one as superior, I think. Beyond that, my best suggestion is to watch girls closely for the qualities you appreciate the most, and try to convey that. Because there are a million different reasons to love them (and love looking at them). My older work, I was much more focused on realistic portrayals... but now I know I'm really really trying to communicate a cute, soft, fantasy surrounded by the glow of impending sex. So I ignore a lot of finer anatomic points now, as they interfere with my appreciation of the fantasy.
