This is my most recent one. I was up in my room all morning doing this. I think it's pretty good. The face is a bit elongated than the regular length of a human head, but I only realized that after it was way too late to fix it. I'm pretty proud of the hand because that's usually my weakness and it looks quite decent, except for maybe the pinky finger... Her eyes might also be a touch too long. Anyway, here it is:

Holy crap. Holly. This. Is. Ultra. Epically. Amazing.

No crappin' you. I love it. You are such a fantastic artist! You should submit this to like... I dunno. An art show. It's so good. I've seen your other drawings too, and they are amazing. I'm so jealous.

Her hair is outstanding. Er... I wish there something wrong. Wait. Her eye, like you said is a bit long. Yeah. And that's about all. Amazing job.

-Jared

I love it! I do envy people who are good at drawing.

I think the line of her knuckle is oddly straight and firm. Err...the size of the face actually looks fine to me!

Hermm, this was vury good:D

But, the only two problems I
have are that
1) her hand looks either a
little too blocky or her nuckles
lining is too... straight.
2) there is this bump in her
arm and I'm not sure if its
a muscle or not but it is a
little distracting.

OH my GOSH! This is, like, so awesome. Laughing But there are some mistakes.

> Her upper right arm sort of has a bump...
> Her nuckles are too straight.
> The eyelashes on her left eye are longer than the ones on the left.
> Her pinky finger is thin.

Other than those mistakes, I think your drawing's wonderful! I wish I could draw as well as you can. Very Happy

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

I can't really say anything else, the detail you put in here is extrodinary, and she looks so real. I love her hair, and her make-up, you did a really nice job!

This is fantastic, bittersweet! The shape, the tone, everything. It's very human, very feminine. My only issue is minor - just that the hand's a bit square. But come on, it's great! You've got the proportions a lot better than you did on the Mr Rochester one and the hair's done well.

Clap clap!

It's pretty good!

A couple things to watch:

-make sure things that should be matching are. i.e. the eye shadow is different from eye to eye.
-the left arm (my left) does have some definition, but be careful how much definition. I think it sags just a little too much. But, in the same manor the right arm has absolutely no definition.
-the hand seems to be a bit big?

I love the hair! The curls are lovely.

Don't be afraid to use dark lines, though. If you mess up, you mess up. Dark lines add definition and confidence to a piece. Plus it helps to add a little shading, and makes it seem more natural I suppose, if the supporting lines are dark.

Pretty good work! Very Happy

Dang Holly, I'm jealous. I can't draw people for anything. I love the hair. The only thing I thought was weird was the bump on her arm (is it supposed to be there?). But besides that I think it's an awesome picture!

~jaw drops in amazement~
Wow! That is an amazing drawing! I would give a lot to be able to draw even half as well! Hehe. I can't draw. At all. Embarassed
I know absolutely nothing about art, but I agree with others that her hand is a bit square, and I'd make her nose a little shorter.
But heck, it's a million times better than I could do!
Keep drawing....you have a lot of potential. Very Happy

this is really good Smile i only have a couple things:

1) i agree with day tripper with the arm thing. it is distracting.
2) you could use a lot more shading. shading is kind of what brings drawings like this to life.
3) her hand looked really funny to me. i don't know how to explain it and i know hands are hard to draw, but maybe try and fix it?
4) her right arm looks really small. is it behind her or something? if it isn't meant to be behind her then i suggest making it a little thicker.

other than those things i think that this picture is really amazing Smile

happy drawing Smile
