Um well the face and hair is good enough, though the rest of the body is a bit too sketchy (not sure if you were going for that).

Thats all i've got. Anybody else?

[maturin]

thanks quabas,
did you mean the colouring is sketchy or the line art?
it's supposed to be similar to the 'top cow' comic style which is kinda 'sketchy' but i think i always concentrate more on the faces and not enough on the bodies :/

what is she doing right now? Is she about to pee? Is she sitting on an invisible bench conptemplating the meaning of her exhistants? Is she thinking how ironic it is to where a skeleton costume while suffering from minor praportional problems? Any way thanks for posting. in the future I would concider the meaning and message portrayed through every geture, body laguage says alot!

I'd say right now the thing hurting it the most is just how unnatural the pose is. Even without visible support, she looks very constrained and uncomfortable. One way to get around it is by using reference. Another is by mastering anatomy. A lot of the best artists around here do both.

At the very least, get in this pose. If you can look in a mirror or take a picture, all the better, but at least realize how bodies actually rest.

yeah she was supposed to be sitting on a sofa but i didn't draw the sofa. And she's feeling constricted at a Halloween party. that's why she's dressed in the 'Ironic' costume. Thanks for the crits, no need for sarcasm.
