This is an original character that I made for my portfolio. She is kind of like a Harpie. She goes by the name of Harp and her body is 2 different colors. (The darker part is scales)
I really hope everyone likes her!
Please comment and full view to see details!!!

good but
you should work on the legs a bit more. The way the knee connects the lower leg and upper leg look a bit weird.
Yeah I agree. Thank you!

Awsome character design
The asymmetrically of this totally steals the show, I would have liked it if you made the wings a different color though.
Hm... yeah that would have made a big difference. :D

I like your style.
There's one issue I have about her that I can't unsee, though. With her inner thighs, I think you were going for a lean muscular look, but what it looks like to me is an excess of inner-thigh fat. The curve connecting the muscle with the mid thigh needs to be slighter, you know, less circular. The knee joints also look awkward in comparison to the calves. I can tell you're pretty dang good at character design though, she's fierce yet sooo beautiful!
Thank you! I agree. :D

Interesting
Overall this is a good drawing, but there are several things that jump out to my eye that require improvement. I won't comment on the pose or subject because that's all up to you, but here's a couple of things that would enhance the drawing itself.
First off, the anatomy needs some touch ups, especially (!!!) in the crotch area, where the legs merge together and part of the bum starts showing up on the inside of both thighs. That should only be visible if the angle of the camera is extremely low and looking up, which is not the case; the way the bum is attached to the leg is pretty much as if the leg was viewed from the side. You should touch up that pelvic area! As for the rest of the body, it's mostly good except for the wings, which lack definition and structure. Look at birds for reference. You will see that all feathers differ in size and shape, and together they form a very distinct structure, without the underlying bone structure being obvious (such as in your drawing) . The lineart in wings should suggest feathers, not bones covered in feathers.
I do like the way you rendered scales and the gloss on the tail, but the remarquable effect you got on those materials is dampened by the less dramatic effect you achieved on the fabric, hair and feathers. Learning to paint different materials and textures efficiently takes a lot of time and practice, but looking at your progression you seem to be learning from your mistakes.
Keep drawing! You definitely seem more skilled with a tablet than I was at your age, if you are indeed 17. Study feathers, paint a lot of hair, watch how fabric drapes and always practice your anatomy!
Thank you so much!!! :D That really helps! I am going to keep practicing and trying to do better as much as I can! I love your artwork and have been inspired by it. :D
I really appreciate the review you left me. That is a good idea to study more on birds and to really put the individual details in my picture for everything. Thank you!!!
