I wasn't sure if you were going for somewhere in-between cartoon-y and realism because of the head as well....
Quote:The thing about nudity is something i'm already aware of, tho. Even with cartoon drawings, i tend to design clothes a lot of time after i draw the actual body, it always helped me to keep up with the proportions. The right arm problem is also mostly due to a dumb shading, as in the picture i posted, it looks a lot different.Shading is something I actually haven't touched upon yet. If I don't have a feel for the surface of what I'm drawing ― the plane changes ― then I'm going to run into difficulties properly shading, especially with multiple light sources. Good on you for doing some of the underlying structure and not trying to hide it with clothes/hair. :3
I've seen quite a lot of comic artists with mediocre life drawings, but amazing caricatures and concepts. I'll search around my history for this one guy when I come back from class. Just keep in mind that I'm someone who wants to get into Animation, so I'll look at things differently than someone who's pursuing Illustration.
