heres some tips: you can trace your character like I did there, so that you can see what the shape of the body looks like. With all the clothing and accessories on top it's sometimes hard to see if the anatomy is right or not. Once you are happy with the shape of the body, THEN move on to the clothes.
Balance! even when sitting down characters must be balanced. Your character is sitting right on the edge of the seat, and with her feet in the air like that, a lot of her weight is in front of her. She would probably fall off the chair if she sat like that.
so you can: move her back to the center of the seat, or move her legs so that her feet are on the floor. That way she has the support of being grounded.
hmmmm, that's about all I can think of really. Practice practice practice (I hate that saying, but it's true)
oh and sorry for always drawing these generic looking anime characters for the critiques lol, I can't help it, It's just my style.
EDIT: I couldn't draw wings if my life depended on it.
Thank you very much  the thin legs are intentional, but the giant belly button wasn't. oops! thanks for pointing it out. |
She's overweight? Really? I thought she was too skinny! You mean her legs or..? To be honest I can't really see what you mean by overweight. If you mean she's too curvy (large bust, large thighs) then yeah that's what I wanted ~
Thanks for the tips~ I can see that her legs are a bit strange on mine.
Also, moving her onto the seat would be really easy to do on Photoshop, so I'll take that route. I did think there was something wrong with it but that seems like an easy way to fix it, so thanks
Thanks for taking the time to critique my work~ ^_^
