I love the pose here, and you've captured it well. I don't know what the head position was originally, but I like what you've done with it. The shading is really well done as well, and I like the sketchiness of it. There are a couple things that need work, though, mostly having to do with the face. First, her eyes don't look right to me. I think this is because the tops of them are too straight - They should curve down a little more at the corners, I think. Also, the whites of her eyes could do with being a bit more white. With the color being so close to the skin tone, it makes them look rather bloodshot. They might be a bit too big as well, but I can't decide. The lips look kind of big, but I think that's more a matter of style than anatomic correctness. The only other thing that really stuck out to me was the hand in the background. Perhaps the only reason I noticed this is because the hand in the foreground is drawn so clearly, while the one in the back is kind of sketchy. I'm not really sure what position it's intended to be in, but when I put my arms up like that, the thumb faces away from the viewer. And the finger to the front, which I think you mean to be the thumb, is really too long. Anyway, this is a nice piece, and I'm sorry to be so picky. :^) Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the excellent criticism. Most of the time I just sit there saying "hm, looks wierd, but I can't put my finger on why". Now I have some good ideas why.
