Left arm does look a little short, but since this is a quick sketch, that's understandable. Shading would improve the perspective.

I guess you're right. But it was so long ago now that I did that I almost forgot about it. Maybe one day I'll turn her into a painting.

I like the face and the free shadows on it, the lines keep moving. You have captured the body shape quite well as well as the pose. I think there is slight problem with the arm but that is just me being picky.

No, you're right. It isn't a perfect drawing, if there is such a thing. It was meant to be a sketch, unfinished and nothing more. It has many things wrong but for some reason I like it and can live with the mistakes. Thanks for your comments; good or bad, I always welcome criticism. If a painter can listen as well as see he will learn.

there is never such thing as perfection while we see our mistakes we keep improving and striving for more, and frequently it is those mistakes or mishaps that actually make work special and give it personal touch.

You are right and say it in such fine style.
