Description I looked at my gallery and realised I've been submitting all my crap pieces...hence my scraps looking better than my deviations So I decided I'd submit one of my better pieces. This is a random girl I was drawing, was trying to draw my character on an mud actually, so I could get some practice inking...but it didn't turn out that way

Anyway, this was done by me and my friend, , she helped me by drawing the staff and helping with the legs I'm jealous, she's so talented

Anyway I'm not sure whether this goes under people, or anime or fantasy so yeah, I put it here, wasn't thinking about anime much when I drew it And I figured it counted as a pencil drawing because it definitely wasn't a sketch lol >_> All that shading... -silently muses-

I like to critique stuff, hope you don't mind it too much.

Anyway, the first thing you need to work on is proportion. If you stand up, you'll notice hands always go down to around mid-thigh at the fingertips. I'm constantly criticized for drawing/having thick legs, but I think in this case they really are too slim. The calf of a female has a shapely curve. Her hips also seem rather far up her body for some reason, and her shoulders seem a little wide - that's probably the cape, though.

Nice staff, though. ^^

In your defense, I sucked at art last year. But I had a HORRIBLE critic. She seemed to be able to find the worst things in everything I drew and kept yelling at me. She made me a lot better, but crushed my ego. XD She enjoys crushing egos.

No, I don't mind critics Considering I'm one too. And in defence for critics: We just want to help the artist get better in drawings XD You should see me critic when I'm in a grouchy mood, I go to my friend's site And start criticsing her work It helps me work off my mood and she doesn't really mind because I sieve out all the nice comments to add in...

XD I thought my body was elogated ;__; so I made her waist a little wider lol. Um yeah, I do know the hands should be around mid-thigh, it's just that these legs are kinda long...as I said, I didn't draw them, my friend did ;__; I knew I should've editted them to be thicker ;__; But I was lazy and didn't feel like bothering

Um, yeah, it should be the cape, I had a book on drawing capes once and it said to draw the capes a little over the shoulders for a nice effect Maybe I shouldn't have taken that advice but yeah

And the staff is nice ;__; My friend may have drawn the legs slightly thin, but the staff is just so nice... -sighs happily-

Anyway, I'll do another post on my own art, you go crit that I am big on proportions, so it's sad when i get critted on that XP And as I said, I don't mind being critted I did that to my friend two years ago, she got pissy on me >_> So I don't crit her anymore I myself am a horrible critic so yeah

ooooooo.. very good shading! like the hair and clothes
The rod makes me think of Ragnarok (yes, those long ages ago when i was a mage.......anyway)
to make the icon appear type in :icon'username': except without the apostraphes and replace username with the deviant's name
