Description After mere frustration with several poor quality digital works, I was extremely dissappointed in myself.

I knew I had to get better, not later but now. And I think because of that I finally succeeded.

Ada Wong - Resident Evil 4

Color and Proportion Study.

Reference from a Youtube video.

So I am having this huge problem drawing women... well I draw women fine as a traditional artist but I struggle alot as a digital artist... I keep seeing manly qualities in my work and I am not quite sure how to fix them... I believe its the eyes and the face structure... but Yeah... Thats what I need help on.


------------------
EDIT:

I figured out there were shading problems. I did not highlight the cleft of the lip very well and the shading on left hand of the figure was off.

also cut down on the shadows on the lower eyelids... I think it looks a little better actually.

I took off the gaussian blur

It's not so much a 'success' or a 'failure' as it is a stead forward progression. As they say, you learn the most from your 'failures'.
Relax and let the pixels flow, the more tense you are and the more you feel you must get better right NOW the harder it will become to grow the way you need to. 83

you are doing some good stuff with this. I like your work with the hair and the shading and highlights are good. The lips have a very shimmery and almost translucent effect because of the lipstick, which is a very good rendition.
your edges could use a little improvement to make them sharper. If you want to use the blending/'fuzzy' brushes for shading, you should lock your base color layer first so you dont get a lot of over spray.

You are doing a good job of learning this program, but just remember to relax a little and have fun while doing it; you may take the time to develop better techniques then if you push yourself too hard and feel that your next piece needs to be photo realistic or you failed. haha, this is art you know, art was never meant to be perfect to life, but to relate ideas.

This was not only a useful comment but a very wise one at that. Your last paragraph in particular, remains true, and I think we sometimes forget that.
