Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey Okeyday. XD

Here's a redline.
Some things I noticed right off the bat:
- The ribcage did not align properly with the torso.
- The breasts need to be lower.
- Be aware of the breast-to-armpit connection. I'm not the greatest artist for this, so look it up with an anatomy book.
- You're completely missing the pelvic bone in this drawing.
- Her right arm looks more like a column than an arm. Check up your arm anatomy for this.

My redline should give you suggestions on how to approach some of these things, but it's entirely up to you.

I personally like the second one better, it has a clearer message and better composition. My suggestion, to make it an even stronger composition, is to add something on the blank top-right area, perhaps a large underwater rock or something that's been blurred with the rest of the water. Merely a suggestion, I just find that area a tad too bare.

All the drawings in the May 7 entry were from models. biggrin But, my homework every day for that class was to draw from my own figures that I created, or anatomy studies. It was a pretty rigorous class, but it taught me so much!

I'm sure you can find something, your pieces always come out pretty fantastic.

Yep, going to Sophomore year now. The class was Figure Drawing for Animators, although Illustration/Game Art majors were encouraged to take it as well. It focused more on gesture drawing/feeling rather than well-rendered pieces. It was 6 hours of pure figure drawing fun every week. XD
