Pretty nice.

Well, a couple things that I noticed between both of them is that the wrists look a little small. The arms taper just a little too much there. On the second one, her pelvic area looks a little disproportionate to her upper body. Some of that could be the angle, but I suggest tinkering with that a bit. Otherwise, I don't see anything that bugs me.

The first one I like better because the picture has a lot of movement in it, and I like the way you colored it better.

First I must state, that I love the hair for both images. Especially the hair on the first image. It looks more established than the second one. The line art on the second one actually makes it look somewhat dirty, but I like that style you used.


Of the two images, I prefer the second one over the first for the style and the execution in general just looks better.

On the first one, the shoulders look too broad for the size of her waist.

The anatomy on the second one looks more interesting. I like the gesture, but both images show the need of improvement before I can say that the figures look good. Some of the muscles don't have the right form, and some of the ones that do look too thick or thin, like the legs on the first image look really thick for the figure's size.

A feature that sticks out to me a lot is the right leg on the first image. The one on the floor. The knee doesn't have form - it actually looks like her leg were backwards

On the second image, the small hand and wrist is what looks most off. Hands are really hard to get in general for most everyone, and everyone still learning. Wrists are very tricky because of their twisting mechanism. They're very funky.

So which is the new and old one?

I love the second one. The coloring and texture are very well done. The only flaws are, like what LadyKnightSkye above had said, the shrunken wrists and the elongated abdomen. Maybe, like Skye had also said, it's only the angle, and the stomach could just seem stretched. Either way, picture #2 trumps #1 in skill and color. Well, it's just a better drawn and colored picture. Kudos to you!

Thank you so much for all of your input thus far. The first is actually the older of the two pictures and was one of my first pieces using photoshop and a tablet. The second was hand drawn and only touched up on photoshop and I added a background.

All together I am trying to improve and you all have been so kind as to take time to help me thank you so very much!!! I will work on the muscles and wrist. Wrists and hands have always been difficult for me as well as arms but thats what practice is for right?
