the lower legs are a fat, you should define the shoulders/collarbone a bit more and you need some more shading.

Agh I see one thing I need to fix. Hopefully I still have space enough to do so. Can't believe I missed that! (other than that any suggestions?)

I have not a clue how I ended up with the design for the tights. :P I was in the midst of shading and all the sudden instead of the solid type color (I had it on the airbrush looking tool and blend and nothing else) it did this. I thought ooh cool tights. :P and so did that w/ it. I couldn't get rid of it and thought I might as well use it to my advantage. Tried to thin the legs up some and do some shading. She is supposed to look semi comic bookish and not real real. I forgot to add that the way the one hand is shaded and the hip (thigh) is to reflect the red light on the motorcycle.

eh it's still lacking shading and correct proportions.

Interesting. I agree with hideyourface, and at first glance, I thought she was sitting on pillows, not a motorcycle. But, you're much better at this then I am!

Looking back through your gallery its seems like your drawings are missing the dark shadows and light hightlights which give drawings depth. Don't be afraid to throw in some almost white colour where appropriate. It may not look right to you at first while you are sitting up close to it, but step back a few feet and look again. You might even try leaving it for a few minutes and coming back to it for a fresh perspective.

Thanks for the ideas/critique. I do find it useful. :) It is hard to go from drawing on paper/painting to doing it online and I was playing around w/ skin tones etc earlier. I found a site w/ photo refs. and was practicing using them so hopefully will improve. I plan on keeping my people to the intermediate/beginner boards for now and if I try anything on the advanced it will be a dragon. :P (and will be better done than my intermediate ones) ... :D Any tips on correct skin color? I noticed that when I looked at the ref. pics it was more pinkish than I was using.
