It doesn't mean you can never get there though... so don't be discouraged. I am glad I don't draw the same way I do when I was 10 because I practiced every single day since then!

And thanks, Kellicros.

It took me half a year to start making some progress ><
However, I believe the room for improvement is infinite for everyone, There is no limit in skill.
Beyond the horizon is a new world; one just needs the courage expand one's skills and sight .

A mouse tutorial I made ^^

Well, my hand is not so steady when I am drawing, I do not know why it can be very steady when I do archery :S

I go over one line more than twenty times... just for a sketch... and wait, I can't even make curves without having to go back to it at least once! Here's a tip: you're not perfect... and heck, nobody is perfect! If your line is not straight... just make small straight lines... and connect them into a bigger line. Or if your line is not curvy... and there...

I guess you need some self-confidence and arrogance! I know I do... but only in art.

Anyway, here's what happens when I am not lazy... (WIP alert!)



And suddenly... after the skin, I feel lazy again... XD

P.S.: Notice how my sketch is a bunch of jiggly and wiggly lines hat ar short... and not straight!

I like to add "bloom" too but you could have done it better. maybe less blur, color curve amplifying light colors, and finally, a good setting for opacity on your layer

Still have to draw the arms before I photoshop it but thought it was enough to get the 1st comments. It's a bit messy and has bold lines but it will be fixed when I'll start coloring

Nice pose

Seems to be a great start

must be some kind of problem with contrast not being the same than on my paper ^^' tell me which boob you think smaller please

"and her left leg (our right) looks a bit weird anatomy wise."
Yeah, it's true there's room for improvement here, but I'll focus on most shocking issues first since legs may be cut depending on if it looks better with or without in a background... what's wrong with it in your opinion? Too fat around the knee?

Seems like her left(our right) one is a bit smaller xP

For the leg, I think the outer curve is too concaved, and her butt(the little triangle int between her legs) is too low, or perhaps just my personal opinions xD.

"Seems like her left(our right) one is a bit smaller xP"
I thought it was big enough, or maybe it's because at 1st when I draw it she was supposed to be laying on her back ^^' what do you suggest? Making it bigger, or making the other one smaller?

For the leg, well, maybe it doesn't show much, but it's a bit bent toward, with the invisible foot supposed to be a little lifted up... anyways, this is a part that should be doable directly on photoshop. Erasing with my dirty rubber drives me crazy


BTW, is it obvious that the camera is at ground level and pointing upward?

(Updated some stuff)

Moving the other one(the one at our right) up a little and smaller might do

Here's mine again with bloom effect down a few level xD

As I thought ^^ I'll do that then.
Yours is much better now, bloom is still there but discreet enough so it's no longer a problem IMO

Which is better, left or right? (don't mind the lower part of the legs under then knees, I didn't try to fix their pose yet)

Not really actually, but I often emphasize them (mostly shadows) to have a better view of important anatomic spots. Then well, if it looks good I keep it that way, while trying to lower the shadows/highlight contrast so it doesn't show as much as in the sketches. I admit I often fail it it though

Well at least this one has a reason to by athletic, I'm planning to give her futuristic clothing and a gun (if I can get it right with the hand
