it sound good
the leg have problems also
hard to explain
the right leg need more movment to us.
More bending
to add more dynamic but not too much
the rest is easy win GG

I see what you mean. But I think that if you could see her feet that would have cleared up a little bit of the confusion. Also I think an equal problem to the right leg is her left leg. I should've added more shadow to separate the two and it should be just a little bit smaller from the calf and lower. But yes. There is a certain dynamic grace that I couldn't quite capture that was flawlessly represented in the photo I referenced.
I appreciate the observation and your kind words all the same. Thanks!

Ahh this is freaking great! Love the subtlety in colors and emotive presence the image gives off

Since you ask specifically about the perspective, I'd say it's fine, based on the presumptions of a shallow depth of field throwing pretty much everything not the figure out of focus, and her walking uphill towards a pass.

thank you for the feedback. It was bothering me but then again i thought it may just be my mind playing tricks on me.

No problems; I specifically mentioned depth of field / focus because that's a fairly rarely underused technique in both painting and digital art compared with in photography (and, slightly oddly, Anime).

Hmm. I never noticed that before. Funny thing is I learned the technique from a tutorial on how to make your drawings look like anime screenshots. Before then I didn't even know Gaussian Blur existed. haha

Really nice work! I love the slightly more organic sketchy look, whilst maintaining solid and appealing lines. Great stuff, keep it up!

Man, I've been shamelessly trawling through your galleries...I gotta say your stuff rocks! I love your style.
Nice to see a fellow SBP user too
Keep up the good work dude, I look forward to seeing more of your stuff on my DAwatch!

SBP is awesome! And thank you! I appreciate the appreciation!
I'll definitely keep drawing and hopefully getting better.
And thank you for the watch!

Hey no worries, I appreciate you appreciating my appreciation hehehe
Yeah SBP is by far the most natural for sketching and getting an authentic pencil feel in my opinion. I honestly don't know how people draw in PS!
Keep up the good work man, I look forward to seeing more of your stuff

i agree. SBP is much smoother when it comes to sketching and even line art.
And thanks again.

Yeah, in fact more often than not my pencils become my line art! I really gotta work on that...
And no problemo...again

I like the strong angled pose as she is walking towards the desolate wasteland. It really captures the mood and this is a great use of color. It isn't too bright or too muted. It is a great mix to draw the eye up and down the page. I do wonder if it hard to walk through the desert in such tight, spandex cutoffs.
I would also suggest maybe have a few strands of her hair blowing in the wind just as her cap to continue that feeling of slow, rustling action against maybe a current.

Thank you very much for the feedback! I kept looking at the hair wondering what was missing and I think you nailed it. Seems strange for it to be staying still as her poncho is blown violently by the winds.
As far as her outfit I understand what you're saying and I agree. But the thing is, while she often does travel the desert, she never really does so on foot or in the clothes that you see her in. At the immediate moment of this drawing she didn't actually choose to be in the desert and instead was kidnapped and tossed in the desert.
I suppose I could have done more to convey that to the viewer. Bruises. Blood maybe. Especially since there is no physical copy of the story for anyone to read to know this.

Absolutely! I love/hate when sketches turn into full on illustrations. I love it cuz they are usually a pretty cool idea, hate because it's usually on the corner of the page or something! fml

haha. hell yeah. And it usually starts out extra small if it's among other sketches.

Oh man, I know that all too well :/
I haven't done that in a while now though, here's to continued good fortune!
