wow, most people make anatomy errors by going short, your body's LONG. way longer than it needs to be.... maybe a bigger head too?

as for fine tuning it, i'm not one to ask. take a good long look at this site. they're pros, most of them.

and squinty eyes are part of this Plan too?

Agreed.

She just need larger hips, in general when you draw a female character using lots of curves is the way to go in order to effiminate it. Kinda like what Raguel did but personnaly im not a fan of the super thin waist style. Wish i could doodle over your drawing as you asked but i just cant do shit with my mouse.

Anyway i can shoot up an old pic of mine with a similar style to what you were aiming for, the totally too long figure is actually used by fashion design artists which is 9-11 heads tall figures. In my case, its a rather pure experimental drawing than anything else but it has a good overview of the shape.

Here is a rough little packet of anatomy tips.

really rough.

and thanx for the help so far, if anyone has anymore tips,

I want to hear them please

[sherru]

well okay from the things you guys gave me, I came up with this... but i don't know if its okay or not

i lifted the breast and gave some hips and some curves to, what do you think now? could it work/

and need some help with the shoulders i don't actually know if I should change it or not

[Saboera]

Ah! There you go, way better this way and seem like Vousielle covered up eveything.

you don't have to be anorexic to be feminine :X

Here's a few basic anatomy tips, hope it helps.

thanx hay, its just im trying to get an "anime" feel here, thanks for the help I will really use them, specially the arm part

hahah its funny really, the one guy gives me a thin figure to help me (tanks a lot for that) and now you give me a slightly more plump figure

okay so this is what I have:

needs to be a bit shorter 9-11 heads

vousielle pointed out how my hips actually go ^_^

something's wrong with my ears

and my breast should be rounder

Right got that now, ill post an update... again with black lines, dont want to edit her untill im sure its right, TNX for all the help guys

Wooo hold a second there, it doesnt ''need'' to be 9-11 heads tall, i merely stated that fashion design use that standard (if you want some stylish feeling), its way out of proportions, 9 head talls is fine but anything beyond that will look extremely unnatural (like the pic i posted). True proportions of a human body is 8-8,5 heads tall. 9 heads tall is considered the ''beauty'' standard and is not really seen in real life.

Other than that, for the waist, as long as the head fit inside, you are fine, Raguel waist was a stylish touch to his particular style of drawing, same as going beyond 8,5 head talls characters.

In the end, its all a matter of preference really. Clearly you werent aiming for ''true'' proportions there as you said you wanted to do animish style of character, so no one should actually yell at you for not being straight in proportion (aka: anatomy nazis). Longer limbs usually create a grace feeling in a character but are not proportionally correct.

Hope it clarify the confusion a bit <_<

She drew an anime style face so I drew an anime style body. Realism wouldn't have suited it.
