Art Dark Elf

Hello again Well I have been trying to shade my works and heres my latest try.

 

Overall body structure in all categories is well drawn, the only thing that really seems to need a slight upgrade are the hands. The shading is pretty simple, but nonetheless it certainly adds to the drawing, and you have a good light source technique favoring you, well done.

 

I'm not a huge fan of smudgey shading but the shading around the legs is nice.
The problem I see when looking at this is the proportion.
The shoulders seems to be too broad and the waist too thin.
And the head's a tad too small.
Simple problems that can be fixed.
I found that anatomy study and life drawing can be a great help with this.

I think the hands are okay though. I know how much of a bugger they are to draw.

 

This was my first try at the smudge shade technique ~_^
But I really suck at hands and I all ways seem to make my females to skinny, I'll make sure to put some meat on them bones next time lol.

 

I love the shading and I think the right leg is very nice!!! How did you do that? Did you do with a pencil?

 

i a gree with Mad_Hamish .. the head is too small for the body & the waist is too thin for the sholders but the shading is pretty good...
kep up the hard work & you will get better CIA...

 

All I have is a .5mm mech. pencil ^-^ and all I did was lightly put some lines where I wanted shade and the smudged it with my finger and did that till I got the right amount of darkness one problem messy fingers no way around it, and I use a Q-tip where my finger where to big, like on the face.
