hello yall, first off I apologize for the crappy scan, heck I lost alot of the detail on the scanning, but the drawing is too big for my scanner..crap.
anywho, heres a pencil drawing I made yesterday, about 3 hrs altogether...a rather large accomplishment for me since I had a baby on one arm, and fending off two other demon children with a broom so they wouldnt get near,(my first attempt of this drawing ended up with my coffee spilled all over it and the floor and the walls,..kids man...gotta f**king love them

The only thing I can find that for how her shoulder are now, her right arm maybe a bit long and dislocated.

Other than that, maybe get the contrast values of the back and face the same as the rest of the sking, but I can't really find much, good job! Especially considering the working environment.

There needs to be some indication of sterno mastoid to emphasize the twist of the neck. Use of value and line overall is pretty good, it could use a little simplification on the right hand's metacarpals, get it to read more as a block form rather than a collection of cylinders. The edges of the hair could be softened some too, to give it less of a stringy look.

My hat is off to you for successfully juggling children and art!

The feet, legs, and skirt are the best parts. The head and hands are both a bit awkward in comparison.

well, the first things that I spot are the eyes, the right eye is really small compared to the other one. I know there is a perspective that give the impression one eye is smaller cause its further away, but if you think about it, both eyes are about the same distance to the viewer's eye so they should be about the same size. plus, by making that eye bigger, it will give more roundness to the face emphasizing the female facial structure. Other than that, I found it a very good drawing with good lighting, great rendering specially on the hands) and values. good work.

Is it just the eyes? I found that the head in general was a bit off, but maybe I'm being fooled by the eyes. I agree on the hands and neck also. It looks good except for that stuff. I like how you have shaded it. The skirt and the feet are great. =D

The pose is very unatural and painful, the 'flow' is lacking and quite important.
It is a beautiful medium to work in and I like this drawing. The positioning and proportion is detracting from your character.
