and, looking at your gallery, it seems like this problem is present in almost all of your deviations. again, you do a great job on anatomy which makes their strangely small heads all the more disappointing. strive to be better & you'll go far - not listening to others' critique & taking offense at it doesn't do you any good. excuse me if I'm not fawning over your stuff like all the other commenters are, but I'm honest.

you should take a life drawing class or get a copy of Grey's anatomy. even if someone has a larger frame, all of our skeletons are generally of the same proportions. only people that have some sort of a deformity are born with smaller skulls. you can't draw accurate bodies until you have a good grasp on the underlying bone structure.

well excuse me for pointing out the obvious. thanks for the sarcasm!

You want it in fancier terms? The perspective is all off. If you want her to look more realistic, her head should be in proportion with her frame. You did do a lovely job on the anatomy, but the fact that her head is too small draws the eye in the wrong direction & focuses on that instead of the curves of her body.

If you're having problems with proportion, a good trick is to line up your pencil or finger with the outside of her breast and tilt it at a roughly 70 degree angle. That is about where her profile should line up with. Also, study skeleton structure and specifically skull shape. It'll help a lot with the back of the head and her forehead, which are both too flat.

there. happy?
