Pencil sketch in my style. Comments?

Just wanted to show this one really, sorry its a bad scan i ended up having to take a picture of the sketch with my digicam.

I'm really happy with the way this turned out.

Comments please! And maybe some advice on starting colouring!

I love the style, but the preportions are a bit off. Well, more so, besides the head and neck. I did a quick edit for you to see. The left eye was high, the head was a bit wide, the right shoulder was thin, both forearms were a bit skinny and bent too much, and the right breast was bigger then the left a bit.

Neat style ^_^
I did a paintover, but took the opposite approach of Evil--I exaggerated some of the proportions to perhaps give you some ideas, and also made a few alterations on some of the irregularities (eg. shape of the head, eyes, breasts), plus some other changes you can see below.
However, I think the hand (which I didn't change) really needs some work, it's strangely shaped. Hands are a killer, so it might be helpful to get someone to model for you (though I think I would exaggerate the finger lengths a bit, I think it would be more in keeping with the style).

I hope you don't mind, but I was having fun so I also changed the hair style, added some earrings, and had a quick go at colouring ^_^

I like your quirky style, keep it up ^_^

Hey, i took your guys crits into consideration (thanks evil and mash

) and i've now finished the image, to the standard that i want it.

I hope you like it, i'd apreciate it if no one gave any critique on this one as i feel its finished now.

thanks again for the help!

this is looking really good, the only thing that bugs me is the coloring, the pencil sketchy bits can still be seen on the shaded areas, I preferred the shaiding on MPs edit.

Looks lovely though.

Really nice. Only her neck is too long and thick. I like the neck in MashPotato's edit better. Also her hair is a little thick too. It needs more detail on the edges.

Well Sam i wanted to keep the hand drawn feel and not make the image totally digital, call it personal preference.

I was only putting the image up here for people who wanted to see the finished image, i did say i didn't want any more critique, Bucketheat.

If no more critique is wanted then I'll lock this.
