Hello Everyone,
This is my very first finished work. I was so inspired by this website that I had to try and color one of my sketches. I would love some recomendations, links to tuts that would be helpful, critisisms, encouragements, whatever. Thanks in advance. (Mods, if this isnt up to the standards of the Crit Center, feel free to move it to sketches. But know that hours of work went into this, and I dont consider it a quick sketch by any streach)

Indeed, Mobius...

Everything has a start, but for me learning never has an end. Here you'll have the opportunity of learning a lot, with the best, as I'm also learning.

Welcome to CA.

Welcome! Great start. the right leg (her right) looks kinda odd. If you are using a reference, take a look at it and try and see what is in the reference that isnt in your pic that makes it look right. Might be some shadows or something. And the hands look very confusing and unfinished. But keep it up. CA is a great place to further yourself

Welcome to CA!:D
You should inverse the position of her legs hehe, let me explain.
She is facing us with her left (our right) hip, So her left leg should be closer to us then her right. I made a quick chage for you to illustrate.
Also take a look at her face. Her nose is very long and her eyes are big.
Cheers!

It´s ok , for a sketch but...
the feet should face left not right.
now it looks like her legs are twisted very badly.
a lot of anatomical issues; where´s her wrists, hands, fingers for example.
look for anatomy books for help and , Mentler has a great thread on anatomy on fine art section:
