I must say, in perfect honest, that I give this an A-, but it could be improved to an A or A+. The flames are excellent, as it the shading on her dress and hair, which is what many artists struggle with. The face and legs, however, could use some refinement. The face has too sharp of a chin, making her somewhat masculine. Her left leg, in front, has a large contrast in size to the lower half of it, giving meaning to the term Thunder Thighs. I would also recommend adding her other hand just below her hair to mirror the pose, but that's purely artist's choice. So, that's why i give it an A-. Very good, though! Keep drawing!!

I think the lips should be lower down on her face, and that her hand should be bigger. See how right now its the size of her face? That's how big the hand should be if it was next to her face, but its out in front, so foreshortening would occur and make the hand appear much bigger. One more thing is that the hair is really short on one side of her face, and really long on the other. You did the dress really well, the creases are positioned realistically.

Oooh, love it! Looks like either superhero or modern fantasy! Love how her hair looks sorta like fire too, adds to her look. You did a lovely job on this.

This is very beautiful, the concept of fire weilding reminds me of my character Ukaquane who is a fire cat Cryptaloid, and your character is very beautiful!

Thank you! And I always thought the abilty to control fire was a very fascinating idea, considering fire has so much power and wildness to it, that a character who was able to control it at command would have to be a very strong person/ creature to avaid it turning around and going out of control, which is probably why I get so much inspiration for the topic!

Nice effect with the fire I like the way the colors blend and the yellow really stands out!

I think the back/chest area is a little too big in proportion to the rest of her body. There's good perspective on the hand and the foreshortening of the arm is done well~ Hope this helps a little

Thanks!
This really helps too, I can sort of see what you mean with the proportion of the back and chest, I'll keep that in mind! (And I was quite happy with that arm and hand, I haven't done much forshortening, because I found the ide a bit frieghtening, but I have been working a bit to push my boundaries and improve!)
Thanks again!

You're quite welcome! And by all means I recommend pushing boundaries. You'll surprise yourself~

I know, ever since I began pushing myself harder lately, I've been making some stuff I'm pretty proud of!
