you say proportion off, i say that leg seems off...perhaps the anatomy, but then again it could be because she's a ballerina and i have no idea what i'm talking about, but i wanted to point it out
that aside, i just love the grace and highlights in this!

I really love the way the hands fan out in the butterfly affect. The shading is supurb... I love the lace and how you added a few simple lines to bring that out

thank you... -__-
yeah... taking time off to do 'traditional' stuff's absolutely useful for improvement... i didn't like drawing it initially, but learnt a lot of small things that really help with other works

I bet. I keep thinking about doing it, but my hands just wanna mess around with other things. One day I'll get around to it.

then small baby-steps at a time...
consistent, small practices really help more than large, Master copies i think
at least ya can be committed even if due to lack of time -_-

I think the shading of the back is a bit off and the leg's a tad weird. Lighting is good, though.

yeah... spine sticks out too much.
Leg shading needs to be improved, check.
Ya, high-exposure lighting's really nice for these kind o' shots -_-
