Honestly you need to work on proportions. That's usually the number one killer of good drawings. Study anatomy and look at lots of pictures for reference, everyone does it. Only once you have learned how anatomy works can you alter it (stretch things out and what not).

You have potential though.

I was tempted to color the rest of her in. Hopefully next time, the creasings will be added.

That aura suits her well. What tools did you use to make it?

Just the brush and liquify tool.

Same goth girl, updated look. Finally, something that isn't standing stiff. Once again, sorry about the effortless excuse for a background.

What does the arabic say?

The red font is her name, "Alexandra Ayasha." What she's saying is "Get over here..." It's in Arabic because the character is part Lebanese.

In retrospect, I could have worked on the clothing texture a bit.

Bugs me seeing people rip on someones work because it isn't anatomically correct, they obviously have no clue what "art" is about,

You have great style, I especially like the assortment of faces among the first few posts. Lots of character in them, and varied expression. Your interpretations of the human form seem relaxed in your own style, nothing awkward. Nice work-

People have different interpretations of art. Some think it's all about anatomy and proportions, while others believe it's more about which tools the artist used to draw with. I mostly care about what is drawn rather than how it's drawn; I like to hear what kind of stories are in the artwork. Drawings that "express one's emotions" also seem to interest me. I probably think that way because I'm also a writer.

But yeah, I see what you mean. Someone draws something cartoony, and someone else says the anatomy is horrible and looks nothing like how a real person should look. It may be their opinion, but that doesn't mean they have the right act like a dickhead. Unless if the person they were criticizing was as unskillful as this and was acting conceited, then by all means he/she should deserve such harsh criticism.

Thanks!

More action compared to the other ones.

Long story short: I got Flash running again for the first time in over a year. My drawings won't look so choppy anymore and coloring them in will be much easier.

This one might not be as good as the others, but at least it's not a girl. It was the first thing I drew after I got Flash working again.

Another redesign with Flash.

Well, this is a first...

this one turned out to be really good

OMG Lilith! You freaking got my attentenion! Draw more so i can comment on some new stuff instead of the old ones! ;P

It took a few days just to get the body proportions the way I wanted them to, and over an hour to color it in using Flash and Photoshop, but it was probably worth it. Before that though, I had a hard time finding reference pics; most of the stuff I found were two extremes, until a few days ago I remembered some characters that weren't always so extreme (pic 1, pic 2).

I had about her in school once. Following the Tora, shes the first female, she was made before Eva, but she was evil, and was banished from Eden. In exile she gave birth to demons, the succubus and iccabus, the female and male demons. The Succubus was then, following a mix of religion and folklore the mares (as in nightmare) Which rides sleeping people chests, and create night mares...

Guess its better than just saying bump... any ways nice picture, i dunno why, but theres just something about that muscular body that makes her look human, in some way... ohwell

One more chibi redesign.

The artwork in your style has really changed over alot since 2006. Some of the drawings kind of show like a akira Toriyama at times.

Another redesign using flash...

... and a quick doodle.

I feel like no one's posting because you said you wanted detailed criticism.

Also, the outlining looks much nicer.

Critique quantity usually doesn't mean much. I'd be better off with a few "Head and arms are a little lopsided. They should look more like this..." instead of 20 pages of "Work on __________."

Also, the outlining looks much nicer.

Thanks.

Her hair didn't feel to flow right around the lower back area in the older version; same for the bottom of her skirt.

Except for the front cloth, everything below the waist would've been pretty much the same.

Yes, it's the same "Lilith" as that demon looking character.

The styles in most of my early work were pretty unoriginal. The drawings that looked like Toriyama's style were actually intentional. They were for some lame fan fic I quit working on several months ago.

Just a preview of what I'm working on next. I still have to draw the other parts of clothing, as well as shading and eye detail. The only new feature I've added so far was a little pentagram insignia on the medallion holding her dress and unfinished cape.

There's another thing that's been bugging me; about her demon tail. Would it be better if I keep it hidden underneath her dress?

Sorry for skipping this one.

I've learned that the names of her daughters were called the "Lilin" (singular: "Lili").

I think it's because she doesn't have wings.
