I think this would have been better if just a tad bit of the eye corner was visible ..its pretty good as far as looking like a tear..but not having a reference makes it a bit ambiguous..nice work though..

i like it without the eye showing. it could be on the cheek or dripping on someone else. nothings worse than feeling lonely when you're not alone. it could use one small shadow at the base to add fullness.

Rennaisance Maiden

See, this girl would fit my castle in the red princess' picture. I have to go to bed now, so I'l finish her later.

... how do you spell rennaissance, anyway? ....

Edit: She now has a face and hair

This is pretty! It rather reminds me of the Elizabethan Barmaid I'm working on at the moment, actually, I was kind of surprised to see another piece here so similar in appearance. <smile>

By the by -- in answer to your question, it's spelled "renaissance", meaning "rebirth" (which is how I remember not to double the "n", because it's re-naissance, if you break the word down into its component parts).

And, not to be picky, but the costume isn't renaissance in style -- that would be more like your classic "Romeo & Juliet" style of clothing. This dress style is more like those from about 100 years later, at least; but it's well executed, which is what matters -- <smile> -- not a slip of the tongue in labelling the era.

And yes, I know the style of dress is common at "Renaissance Faires", but they usually include a mixture of historical eras in their costuming, etc., which I think confuses people. <wry chuckle>

still a beginner?

PLEASE! i need to know!

Anatomy is the study of the human body, its proportions, and how it works. To study anatomy, you can read books on the subject (there are plenty of them out there, most of which have drawing exercises to help you improve), take a drawing class that emphasizes drawing the figure, or, quite simply, observe and draw others to see how the body looks in verious poses, in rest, in motion. It's all about practice.
And, hey, no need to feel like an idiot... the human body is probably the hardest thing to draw, and most everyone has trouble with it at some point. (Anatomy can also be for potential doctors and nurses, but those classes are generally fairly different from the classes taken by artists. O_o )

I am going to be honest and say I don't think you're ready for intermediete. I barely am, myself. But you have improved, that is true. Plus there is no hurry to be intermediete or anything else, art is about fun not skill level, imho.

Mazi's awesome tutorial list.
