After such a long break here is some proof I'm alive and still no can draw good :(
Just want some c&c on the body shape

Ignore the hands, face and line work. I just want to know if then general body shape looks ok :3

I think her right arm is a little too long, and the pelvis is a little too low. Also, the waist comes in a bit far.

I drew over your image to illustrate my points. Hope this helps some.

I managed to fix the arm alllll by myself :3
But wow ty so much, you've helped a lot with the leg/hip part.
I'm going to try and re-do it when i've had less alcohol in my system haha.

Btw, any advice on line art? I am really bad at it. ::(

The only thing I do with my line art is try to minimize sharp edges by smoothing everything out. Nothing too fancy.

I smelled improvement, so I came. Now that I have eaten it, I shall be leaving.

Good day, ma'am

I always have problems with line art. Thanks for the advice ^^

DON'T EAT IT, IT'S NOT READY!!!! D:<

Meh. WIP. Dunno what the fuck is going on with her arm at the moment.

Line art/ colouring practice.
Not finished (duh)
I MIGHT finish it. But probs not. seems too......I dunno, common? haha

very very VERY rough sketch. My graphics tablet runs badly on my laptop :[ and this is what i've managed so far,
The gray areas is where i roughly thought the shade would be.
I'd like some crit on general body shape.
But bear in mind it's still very early in the WIP stage, so ignore the poopy line art. Hands as well since i just generally suck at drawing them.

Also a question to other artists. I have astigmatism in my eye (duh) and i haven't had glasses for it in quite some time (approx 2 years, the lens popped out, boooo). I was wondering if anyone else has this problem (or knows anyone else who does) and if it affects their art in anyway?

Can I ask what she's doing? Ha, I think I have something to say, but I want to make sure it's applicable first. :]

But it's a nurse from silent hill. :3

I thought it was something like that. :)
Anyway, I think the problem is she's off balance. It can be fixed as easily as moving right leg out, but I drew this up real fast to try and explain why. It's a simple little trick I use that you might be able to apply to your stuff too.
Over your drawing, I traced the line of action. I'm not 100% sure how to describe this line because it has a few different uses in the building of a character, but mainly it's the flow of the spine.
In your drawing, it looks like she's sort of falling over, and that's because her line of action is top heavy. It arcs at the top but not at the bottom. Just by carrying the arc all the way to the bottom, the line itself is balanced, and it's easier to see what needs to be adjusted in your drawing and how to do it.

And I'm just bringing this next part up because I think it accentuates that broken doll sort of look, I think it'd be cool if you tilted her head so that she's looking straight at you. That'll give her face more focus, which I think makes it all the more creepy.

Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot! I have a problem with drawing characters off balance (even if it's from reference) My excuse is I have astigmatism but this trick will fuck that off! YAY xD
Thanks again.

Ok i'm scrapping the old one and starting it again.
This is what I have so far. I took your advice into account and got this.
I also realized I CANNOT DRAW CURVED LINE ;_;

Just realized i am one of the worst artists on this site :[
I'm going to have to take another break again.
Hopefully i might be back,

I really like your art, don't put yourself down. Come back and post again soon.

I don't know why but the who notion of the "Recommend for the Art Portal?" link makes that quite funny. Like I said I don't know why I just had to laugh.

In my opinion, you're a better artist than me. And you at least finish the art you've started. I've got around 5 WIP's that I am wasting time with.

There are no words to describe what I'm feeling right now.

Ah Ignore that post. I was VERY drunk and getting in 'That mood' So i do apologize.

But thank you very much everyone for your positive feed back :3 I'm going to try and draw on paper more and see if i can tidy it up on the computer instead of doing everything with my graphics tablet.
So heres something I quickly sketched out in about 20mins. (hit or miss).
Picture was taken with my Ipod so quality ish bad.
