wip - Elf Princess

[Airetal]

Hey all,

This would be my first post on the board but I have been here browsing for a while. After finding some much inspiration from one site Ive decided to show you a concept I am working on: Elf Princess

-Started her this morning and added a bit of color just now. Dont have a tablet yet - Shipping! :D I was just looking for some general feedback and some ideas for hair etc. I was going to add armor based on a butterfly - seen so much armor based on wings wanted to try soemthing different. Anyway take a gander any suggestions also towards cleaning the pic up and making the lines "thick" and "professional"

This is lookin pretty good, just a couple things I noticed:

The neck looks too thin at the base. Neck's generally widen out in order to provide support for the head. Check out an anatomy book for the muscles involved in there too.
The nose is a bit too large, and that pushes the mouth out of position a bit. If you shrunk the nose down a bit, both horizontally and vertically, and raised the mouth a bit, I think the face would have a bit better proportions. The mouth looks really good, just a bit too low.
The chin seems a bit too pointy too.

The eyes are really great though, as is the headband. As for the hair, I'd suggest something long with a lot of body.

I'm not sure what you mean by making the lines thick and professional. I think the lines are looking pretty good as they are, despite needing a bit of clean up. That just sort of happens naturally as the picture progresses a lot of the time. At this early stage just concentrate on getting the shapes and forms down, then clean up closer to the end of the process.

Anyway, it's looking good. I'm looking forward to the butterfly inspired armor.

Cheers,
Severian

Where can one learn some good solutions for "cleaning up the lines" as has been mentioned here? I find that this is a weak point in many of my own drawings.
