Description
So the pinup girl turned out to be an original art, not anything else I was planning on using her for. She ended up being, well---an anime version of me. ^^ My hobbies are connected to my soul through the red string of fate. In case you don't know about it, here it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_stri… Basically, this string is an old Chinese belief that your soulmate is connected to the other end of the string while you are attached to the beginning. This string holding up a pencil and a camera, represents what I like to do--and how I like to think that fate brought me to this site. How I got into anime through different influences, how I met my best friends that I have met now. Different things like that run through me, and I feel that if it wasn't without the photography and drawing---I wouldn't be here or know the people that I do now. And because of these interests, I think that the red string of fate will bring me to my soulmate, the one I will spend the rest of my life with.Artists Note: I have been working with anatomy the past couple of days with this one, and I feel that I did a pretty dang good job. Not bad for something out of my comfort zone. ^^ I would appreciate any constructive criticism please and thank you!

You've requested a critique from me. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="

However, may I suggest looking at some references for drawing poses? <3 They help A LOT when drawing figures especially in more advanced poses like this. Even professional artists use references to help guide them where their anatomy should go.
A wonderful person to go to for female referencing is SenshiStock and her group dAPoses They have great stock there for poses and other references. ^^ Maybe you could practice drawing some of the poses there to help improve! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="

Overall, you have a lot more to go to but I believe you can do it if you believe in yourself and your art. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="26" height="17" alt="

Thank you for the critique! I really appreicate it!
I am learning still on the anatomy, but I can say that this is a great improvement of what I have done in the past.

I like the content and message of your piece, but I have several processes that I'd like to suggest to help you out with these kinds of pictures. It is generally a good idea to use a skeletal system when you are drawing an anime character. Not everyone uses these, but it is a very helpful and refining process for those who are relatively new to the anime drawing process. I would also like to suggest the using pencils of different graphites. It is a lot more tedious than using the same one for the entire picture, but it allows you to draw the general image and erase any mistakes without them being noticed. This multi-stepped process also better contrasts colors within a figure. I also recommend that you work on shading. Overall, you've got some great potential here; you just need to employ a few anime drawing techniques to improve.

Thank you!
I was planning on having her as a cute pin up girl, but it ended up being that.

Well, we will see if the advice you got and some careful work with poses will help.

I think it will. I am working on another one right now, kind of the same pose. And this one I am making her a little bit more---how should I say---promiscuous.

Hopefully the proportions will be better. You are improving and it looks good.

Hey I'm wondering if I could help out your anatomy by red lining this since you are looking for a critique. If not, then that is okay and I can just send you references to look at to help out C:

Yes, that would be fine by me! I am always looking for help to get me where I need to be.

sta.sh/22d10xqcuj8p?edit=1 Sorry if it's a bit much but it's a very nice pose but yet complex so it's easy to make mistakes. The arms are pretty good, but the hands need work and should be larger. I think the main issue of the pose would be the leg most hidden to the viewer as you had it too low and not connected to the hips, and you should practice feet. Even I'm not that great at feet or hands yet.
sta.sh/2moanyg2dmg?edit=1 Here are some references, I have folders have references on my computer but here are a few that would help you out the most. I recommend that you save them for future references.
Also senshistock.deviantart.com/gal… has a gallery full of pose references. You should use some of them to practice a bit.
Another great site that I love is www.posemaniacs.com/ There are so many poses as well as different angles. You can also drag the photo to change the perspective.
I hope this doesn't seem harsh haha, I'm just very straight forward and to the point. As long if you keep practising and knowing your short comings improvement can come super quick, just keep drawing C:
