 You have a lot of form problems, mainly you need to allocate space for muscle mass and skeletal anatomy. Even if she is slender she needs space for a bum! Shoulders are usually a good indication of the width of the hips. With her arm holding the apple, remember to try the pose yourself. When I raise something to my face I keep my elbow down and tuck the forearm closer to my body. If you are having trouble figuring out a pose, take note of how the body parts you are describing are in relation to the rest of the body, such as the elbow coming midway through the ribcage.

Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity.
Thanks so much D:
The only thing I've really looked at is skeletal anatomy, and as you can tell I skimped on that even sweatdrop

A very nice start for a work in progress. 3nodding
I'm not the best at anatomy with children but I have noticed one thing that bothers me a bit. The nose The line in the middle is somewhat distracting for me. I'm not entirely sure what it's there for. confused Oh and the feet seem to not be making contact with the ground. What I mean is they don't seem to be touching the earth at the same time. There seems to be no pressure on the right foot (your left). Am I making any sense? sweatdrop

The nose line would be my shitty scanner.
&Yeah, i had problems with the feet xD Mrs. Lovett shoes are all very...adult like, and I didn't want to take away from the innocence of a child, so I pretty much did nothing with the feet from the way that I blocked them out at the start. Which I need to fix, I just want to figure out how to do Mrs. Lovett shoes while leaving ehr innocent looking...
It's mostly done, except for the feet really. the scanner makes it look a LOT more sketchy than it actually is. It's a lot more smooth and...finished looking in real life xD

Hmmm I've been looking through pictures and I believe that the feet should be smaller and more pudgy looking (they have rounder feet -going around the foot- than adults and older children). I'm guessing the girl is from ages 3-5 and for some reason children's feet seem rather small. Or at least less elongated.
As for the boots, perhaps if you made them smaller and indicated baby fat on the legs that might work.
Yeah scanners can suck sometimes. xp Mine sucks too, so I can take you're word on it. biggrin

 I've gotten over it over and over againLatest Sketches: (Links to the dA because my file sizes are huge and therefore take AGES to upload with photobucket) (Newest to oldest) (Most effort, to least effort XDD) 1 This one has a weird shaped head, and GOD DAMN THOSE ARMS. I hate arms. 2 This one I think is just really stiff looking in general D; And really rough looking, because it was a sketchysketcksketch 3 This one I thought there were problems with giving her a center of gravity/making it seem like she's not floating? Redlines on all of these are SUPERDUPERDUPER appreciated. And just awesome C&C <3 ----- Angelic Minis: 5mil/TOO MUCH----

I've gotten over it over and over againAnd now my current WIP  The arms. Stupid arms. his elbows are bent towards the viewer a little bit, but I can't get that to portray quite right. his arms just look too short right now D:< Redlines = <3 And for all fellow Zelda fans out there I've already added the clothing detail that's missing and fixed the flawed neckline of the tunic etc. so don't get your panties in a bunch xD ----- Angelic Minis: 5mil/TOO MUCH----

I recommend looking into gesture work right now. What I see is a stiff pose that could be a whole lot more dramatic (and dynamic). It's not a problem of not knowing anatomy or whatever else, you just need to learn to exaggerate a bit more. Here's a good resource I found: >clickie<Fixing the action lines of your work will help GREATLY, even if you're not going for a cartoon effect. You can always tone it down later if you think it's overdone. Another tip for doing an action shot... use perspective to your advantage! Yes, it's more difficult to do this, but it can really help bring things to a new level. You want Link to show off how strong and cool he is? This is a good way to go about it. But yeah, first work on getting the action line stuff down. Some other fun images to look at that might help you: http://themushroomkingdom.net/images/mlss/mlss_luigi-hammer.jpg http://www.themarriedgamers.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/mlss_mario-hammer.jpg Also... if you need more reference material, you should try playing a fighting game (Zelda works), watch an action movie, or watch some old cartoons. Good luck!

Good luck! I've gotten over it over and over againOhh okay. I redlined my own image, but I only have the touchpad on my macbook to use so it's a bit off/shaky. (Is there a way to help shaky lines? I'd love to be able to draw with my touchpad *o*)  Is that better? Should I go even further with it? (How would I push it even further?) ----- Angelic Minis: 5mil/TOO MUCH----

Well, you're gonna have to play with it. Like I said, try doing some gesture sketches while watching something action-y. Preferably something you can pause. It'll take some getting used to and it'll also not come out looking perfectly at first. But, it should help in the long run. As another example, here's something I made for you:  Forgive the crappy anatomy and messiness. Haha. I tried. I'm supposed to be studying right now, anyhow.

This was very helpful, thank you so much (: <3 I was a little scared of changing it too much and having him look silly, but I can see how much better it looks now 0.0 <33 I will definitely remember the 'action line' thing for next time too (: ----- Angelic Minis: 5mil/TOO MUCH----
