that's very good. i would of left a little more room above the head, but it's still quite perfect.

when i was in art school, none of our models looked like that. it was alwasy pretty gnarly hippies from berkeley. i can draw cellulite, sun damaged skin and wrinkles very well but i have little muscle experience.

we did get this really built chick once, but those drawings turned out so weird

anyway, great job, i loved your last one too.

any close ups?

looks fantastic. if you can give any tips about how you did the hair?

maybe if i was really nitpicking the left leg (our left) looks a bit flat.

this kind of work always frustrates me because it's a beautiful rendering of a beautiful person, but as a beginner starting out, it's so vague what's going on muscle wise in the back. I'm sure it's spot on so far as accuracy, but there's not so much for me to learn from. I could sketch this over and over and it wouldn't help me create people from imagination.
