Trust me,the image will look 10x better when it's done. . .

pose from memory, mirror used for neck area.

Haven't done much drawing lately. I felt like dancing today and wanted to capture my character Ginger in a fun movement pose. Think I captured it as best i could as a short 20 min drawing before bedtime. Marking it as unfinished because I think I should fix her hair a bit.. maybe later. :)

I think that one of the greatest challenges of figure drawing is be able to draw poses that are realistic enough and believable too. It's something I really admire about comic book artists, who can draw characters in different situations and have their poses look natural (well, most of the good ones; a few don't really do a good job...). Anyhow, I think its neat how in a rough-looking picture I can just add a few lines and make it look like she is wearing a shirt of sorts so I don't have to ponder how to do her nipples. XD

edit: ok, i hate how i wanted this to be a short sketch and ended up trying to refine things a bit too much. Ok it's finished!

I'm so original, nobody would ever of thought to draw two girls in anime style wearing overly done frilly dresses with very long hair and weird ears. I'm a gonna put effort into this'n.

don't freak, I'll fix it

I'm going to systematically practice painting all the tutorials here: http://pocketmole.com/tutorials/
Starting with the smoke/cloud tutorial.

No refernce, just from memory of the ocean. 1st drawing on this site with these tools.
