I gave you straight criticism.

Learn anatomy. You're drawing a generic silhouette. Anyone can do that. You need to understand how the major muscles wrap around each other to produce that silhouette. Then you'll be able to draw a figure in any pose.

You draw worse than I did when I was in the third grade. I'm serious.

Detail is easy. Focus less on detail and more on form. When you add detail, try to stay within the lines, for fucking god's sake. Look at the clip on the gun in her right hand.

Also learn something about line quality and line width. You're running over the same line many times with your pen, creating a scratchy and uncertain look.

Think about fucking light sources. You've got shadows in all directions on her face and holster.

Think about things before you draw it out. Why would her uhh ninja bandana be whisping in the wind, but her hair and the thing under her right arm aren't?
Now this is quality criticism. Thank you, although the whole 3rd grade drawing better thing kinda hurt :p

well, it's a cyberpunk chick with akimbo Uzis and a kanji tat - the ultimate nerd subject matter - but technically-speaking you're on the road to somewhere so just keep at it. Try life drawing classes - you learn stuff and get to see some hot student girls naked if you're lucky.

Edit: correction, it looked like kanji in the lvlshot :icon26:

I took one of those and proceeded to date my subject matter for a few months. :icon26:

I only went to one course, and there was this redhead babe a few times. I think I still have some pastel drawings of her arse somewhere.

Minus one point for the thong, but plus one point for giving her realistic tits. Too often comic style babes have size triple Z breasts.

You need to learn how to draw clothing folds, too.

Edit: Also think about your composition in a 3D space.
for once (and only once), i have to agree with rep.

not only are her boobs too small, her hips are too thick as well.

as rep pointed out, you need to learn the female anatomy.

It actually wasn't even my idea to ask her out. I mentioned her to Fury and he egged me on. GG Fury. :icon14:

You guys know any sites that give a basic explanation on forming body parts? Like the bare basics, like circles and shit?

If you're looking more for a superhero look, try the book "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way" by Stan Lee and John Buscema.

Kinda, I'm trying to make a ragged, beat up looking soldier. Like a female version of solid snake :p

You obviously didnt read what rep wrote because he gave him points for giving her tits that didn't have their own zip code. I swear some of you people are so fucking stupid you should be castrated in order to protect the gene pool.

I'm afraid it's already corrupted. Quite possibly irreversably.

Oh I see you're from Missouri. Like scourge said it's irreversible. If we took off the bottom 2 tiers of couties in Iowa and gave them to Missouri, the IQs of both states would rise considerably.
