Comment on Pile of Sketches by ashnrose
You've done pretty well here with loose proportions. (I differ between loose and sloppy, they're slightly more exaggerated than real life, but nothing looks like it's falling off, or stretched too far)
Things i would suggest to play with
- Variation of line thickness when inking those solid lines. Try thickening the line around the thighs and calves, or a swoosh at the ankle. line thickness is really fun to play around with. You don't need a varying pen like a fountain or brush, just try doubleing up on the lines in some places
- Mitten hands! maybe do a seperate sheet for hands? I know they're touch, but hands are hands are hands. We always gotta keep sharp with those.
Good brow expressions up at the top
- watch out with those facial crosses. if they're drawn too "off" they can mislead your eye and lead to slanty-eye drawings where one is above the other. A way to prevent this is flipping your drawing horizontally or looking at it in a mirror. you will see it right away.

Thanks very much for the feedback! All the things you're mentioning, I can see and I'll work on them. Mitten hands are one of my biggest weaknesses, they're so hard to resist but i will try!
