Description
Sorry about the crappy quality I got a scanner off my mum only to find out after 3 hours its not compatible so Im still stuck wiv just my camTo
This is my first time drawing a figure showing the face and hands I have never tried drawing them before so I would especially like feedback on those but also the shading as im not too sure how to shade the picture. Anything else you spot that is a little out of place also please let me know

this will be my very amateur opinion ^^
very nice drawing~ i think the face look really nice and for the hand~ maybe the elbow seem a little off~
as for shading~ maybe more shading on her legs~ and dress fold~

From
Nice work so far... As far as shading is concerned try using different dark and light shades to increase the depth and details in the picture...

I think what others have said covers it really well. It's a great drawing for your first time doing face and hands. I think you pulled those parts off really well. The main thing that sticks out as ..weird (i guess) for me is her pose. To me, it doesn't really look like she's flying or hovering in the air (i assume that's what she's doing). I think it's the relationship and position of her wings to her body that isn't quite right. Perhaps if she was angled more forward to the flower, rather than away from it, it might look better. Just my opinion mind you! Hope it helps

Well, pretty much covered everything, I don't think there's really a need to say much more.
One thing that would help digitize it (look better on comp) is to try turning the contrast up and brightness down on photoshop or w/e you use. That would help us the viewers see it much easier.
Well good luck with everything!

Since others can usually explain better than me, here are some tutorials:
[link] [link] [link] [link] I would add more to the background, because it looks a little plain at the moment. I really love the wings! For shading, pick a light source, and darken anything that won't be hit by the direct path of light.

i want to start by saying very nice job!
great job on the wings and the flower! they are beautiful. you did a nice job on the face. i might've had the jaw slope upwards a little more though, but that is a very minor thing and it looks good anwyay. the only things i see are that the right hand seems a bit smaller than the left, and the left arm seems a little long. but really great drawing overall!

This is pretty good! The wings are really beautiful!
Here there is the thing I see:
The face is great, I don't see anything wrong. It's pretty good!
The hands are a little bit too samll and they don't seems natural. They are really too starit and they don't seem too have any movement. Hands are really difficult to draw, but don't worry with practicing, you will be god! For helping, you should try to take picture of your hand and draw them.
For shading, I can't help here, sorry... not pretty in that.
There is some other thing:
The arms are too slim. Same thing for the legs. Also, the legs are too small, make them longuer. The feet are small too.
The rest is pretty good, the flower is really beautiful!
Hope that I help you

It is very good for a first try, honestly. A bit of the anatomy is out of whack, but otherwise, it is much better than I could've ever hoped for on a first try.
The hands and face, which you consider problem spots, are actually just about the best parts of the picture. The hands are a wee-bit small, but that could be a style choice. Also, the left hand (Her left) looked a bit off at first, but that is only because your tried to include the little finger. It'd look a bit cleaner if you just left it out
For overall anatomy, the proportions are just about right, and you have a great pose going. One note, though, is that the arms (and the legs, but much less than the arms) look too straight/flat. Real arms tend to be at least somewhat bulgy/jagged, with the muscles removing all hints of straightness. Again, though, this just might be a stylistic choice, to show the delicateness of the fairy.
There are a few severely minor other points, but, overall, it is a very nice sketch.

Dizqard In reply to Lex-Logan [2009-10-27 08:32:12 +0000 UTC]
No problem But, if I may make one more recommendation: Don't worry about tutorials unless you have a specific part you are just awful at. All of my anatomy abilities came from studying reference pictures.
Go to the DA gallery, hit stock photos, and search for male/female. Then, just study a few pictures a day (Or more if you have the time!). Trace over them, add new lines, add the 'bones', etc.
One particularly good collection is . She did the same thing, using various DA stock photos, and posts her (amazing) results. Though, if you want to avoid nudity, most of her pictures are nudes, so you'd need to find another gallery
Anyway, good luck in your practicing, and sorry for giving you pages of text

The arms seem a bit off, the elbows seem a bit too close to the body to me, but other than that it looks good to me

The leng is good but i think left elbow is not in the right place.
And color it *O*

Very gentle lines - well done for a first try. Next time you should focus on details in wings and hair and creases on the clothing. Experiment with different pencils to get more depth and nuances into the picture. It seems a bit flat yet.
May you do well
Cheers
