Jaria you changed your beautiful sketch ! Thats too bad, that face and how her torso was postioned were really nice. You had something solid going on with the sketch that we lost on this new pose. Dont worry, i still do that, Ben did the same, while painting he changed the pose and lost the coolness of the sketch.
Aside that my comments will be towards the hair, the flowy clothes and her legs.
1-Hair. There is a lot of it. I would have simplified the shapes, and kept only maybe 5 grouped strands of hair to create my flowy directional strenght lines.
2-Same for the cloth, i would have followed the hair direction. With graphic strong slightly angular shapes to create a contrast with the soft curvy round hair.
3-The legs. As i mentioned in the sketch. Her torso feels in perspective but the legs are flat on a side view. A lot of you guys are doing this. To avoid this, a good trick is to simplify your shapes. Remember how i draw circles on my arms and legs ? To make sure i am imitating a cylinder in the correct angle.
4-Pose. Its a tough pose, because the legs shoul dbe coming towards us in perspective and foreshortening. And then we have the feet. I think it is impossible to pull this off without shooting references. I 'll try to do a correction this week, i'll take some refs and post the sketch alongside the photos and comments.
