Description
I realize I haven't uploaded anything in a long time, so I felt I should put something up. Not necessarily for the two people who might look at the deviation, but just because I don't want to feel like I've abandoned DA. I haven't had time lately to do my normal painterly style, and I didn't want to upload something that wasn't that, thus resulting in the huge gap between now and my last upload. I didn't think anyone would want to see just a comic book style line drawing like this. I was convinced, by outside forces, to upload some of them, so this will sort of be testing the water. If both of you (people who are watching me) like it then I'll upload more.4H mechanical pencil

First of all, I think it would be awesome if you started uploading some linework / sketches /rougher work. Your painted style is awesome, but sometimes there are technical flaws under the colors - no matter how nicely someone paints/shades, if the shape of the drawing beneath it makes no sense, then it's just awkward.
The lines on her neck imply that her head is facing the viewer head-on, but it is in fact turned to the side. The muscles that cause the \ / lines going up the throat actually start at the clavicle, I believe, and attach behind the edges of the jaw, below the ear. The muscle on our right looks like it does, but on the left, it looks like it goes into the middle of her jaw.
The bands on her arm should not be that high up - if they are armlets and not a part of a shirt hem, anyway, If they're a part of the shirt hem then they should line up with the parts of it we can see under the vest. Her right arm (our left) also seems a bit off - it tapers in just under the deltoid a bit too far, in my opinion.
The last issue is with the eye farthest from the viewer - it bulges out of her actual skull; the eyelids go OVER the eye. Unless you are going for a cartoonier style than I thought, and even if that is the case, it just doesn't mix well with the rest of the picture. It seems to perpetuate the illusion that her eyes are a bit too far apart.
Even with the slightly off eye, it's another lovely lady you've drawn for us, and I am glad to see you are still drawing! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/dā¦ " width="29" height="21" alt="

Thanks a lot for the awesome critique! I really appreciate the effort and it helps a bunch. And I should hope I'm still drawing, I am in an art school after all. (It's just not stuff I want to upload here... still-lives and perspective and all that jazz.)

I definitely say more, please! I enjoy this. It looks much more organic to me than some of the painting work, which is still beautiful, but I really enjoy this. I AM ANXIOUS TO SEE MORE OF IT!

Thanks! I guess I'll be putting more of these up.
