I still have a lot of work to do on this - I haven't done anything in the last few months with ink, so I'm still not very good with it. Someone I know a while ago said "there should be a superhero who's skin is invincible because of scar tissue!" So I made one. There's still a lot of the picture that needs to be drawn, and after that, I still have to paint it. But I wanted any advice I could get one fixing it before I go one.

Especially if you can think of a good way to fix her left arm or right hand. I have to fix her stomach and her shirt and a few other things. When I finish it I'll track down a half-decent scanner, but for progression pictures I'll put up with this one.

I just went back to pen and ink myself a few nights ago, its a bitch not having an undo button but it looks sweet when you get it right. Thats probably why ive been staring at your pic for a while now.

heres my thoughts, but i suck at explaining things so ill just leave the anatomy to someone else..

Her hair looks great. And so does her face. The scar over the eyebrow is a nice touch.

You should put some more time into the scar tissue on her body and arms. Somehow they just makes her look like shes been in the bath too long. Its nicely rendered but it dosnt look like scartissue.

Normally, from my almost nonexistent experience of scartissues, scars make your skin contract around the wound and bulge either in or out from the center. This should in theory give the skin a tighter fit, and not the baggy feel youve got at most part of her arms.

Anyhow, i like it, and im looking forward to see the finnished version. :)

hey li !
I like your drawing but I think that her left arm seem to be disarticulated...
