Here's a more advanced study into the design of Tatsuki Maehara (as I seem to have omitted her last name last time), The False Blade. I chose to do a close up and full-frontal perspective for this piece because I wanted to examine every detail of her face. So here's what's new in the design:

- As Sapphirelotus mentioned to me personally, the old drawing had Tatsuki's part in her hair way too long. I examined it against other drawings and discovered that in general my hairlines are far lover than they should. I raised it a good inch (paper wise) higher and the result was more than adequate. Her hairlength needs to be longer though...
- Tatsuki's trademark scarf was scrapped for this drawing, mostly because I drew an excellent neck (for me) and felt covering that up would be a tradgedy.
- To compensate for this loss, I gave Tatsuki a choker necklace, an idea I had after I finished the first sketch
- I also tied a couple clumps of her hair together. Another flourish I thought of after the first sketch
- The proportions are much more realistice, except...
- Her breasts are HUGE! I apologize to all the women out there, as I had no intention of making them so big. I'm still learning the basics of the female figure, and I obviously need to practice that particular area.

I'd also like to point out that the wind is blowing in this picture, which explains why all the loss hair and clothing are blowing to theleft (her right). I've never really factored wind into my drawins, so I thought now would be good testing waters. Not many clothing folds, but I couldn't really think of where to put them.
