No problem. Glad I could help!

As for making her look more feminine, I can't see the picture right now since I'm on my message page, but some tips for drawing the ladies involves lots of softer, curvier lines (which is hard for me because I have sharp angles in everything). For generic male torso shapes, I tend to draw a kidney bean. For female generic torso shapes, I tend to draw a figure 8. Helps promote that curviness. Of course, not all females are curvy! Just depends I guess. Some females look downright masculine and vice versa. There are lots of anatomy books you can reference, too!

It can take awhile to get used to digital art. Just keep at it and it'll feel super natural soon! Actually, I'm the opposite. I can't do traditional art very well! LOL It just requires getting a feel for digital (or traditional, I guess).

Good luck!

Hello!

First off, I think you did a good job with the picture. The colours are what drew me to this picture to take a further look at it.

THE GOOD: I think you are on your way. Again, I really enjoy the use of colours. It is a very soft picture and easy on the eyes. I don't have to strain to look at the picture. I also like how there is a certain movement to this piece. I can feel the character turning his head around and the wind blowing. You did a very good job drawing the back view and the back view is very difficult to draw. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/e…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Eek) - "/>)

WHAT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: While I do love the colours, it might help to use blue-grays or other hues of grays instead of a true gray. This is a tip that I learned, just as one shouldn't use true blacks or whites. It helps the eye more. The human eye is a very picky thing! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/e…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Eek) - "/>) I would also like to see more definition with lines, texture, shading and light, such as in the rock and mountain and such. Right now, it looks as is he is sitting on a giant caramel instead of a rock, but you started with the definition and that is a good start! I would have also liked to have seen shading and more definition on the character, as well. I am also not sure what he is doing or what his expression is supposed to be. He looks rather cranky, such as I snuck up upon him and he is wondering why I'm bothering him. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/e…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Eek) - "/>)

All in all, you did a great job, and with practice, I'm sure each work will be better and better! Thank you for sharing this with us! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/e…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Eek) - "/>)

What a WONDERFUL critique!!! Thank you so very much for such wonderful, thought out words.

Actually, the staircase was unintentional in its meaning, but you make such a wonderful point! Maybe it was subconscious.

Your critique has given me so much encouragement to try my hand more at traditional media. Thank you!
