Matt's Art (p34: Hey, I finished something!)

I could be wrong on the stomach thing or I could be not.
That's actually just how I view it if I think of it in doll form so I'll leave it at that.

anyway Matt, That's really odd, I'm pretty sure it did send, Im pretty sure I would know if it didn't.

Id say that the arm is fine, but the hand isn't. The way its drawn now looks like there is no ankle.
redline coming later!

@OC - I think I need to research poses too. I just got a Bridgman anatomy book, so that'll hopefully help a bit.

YES, indeed anatomy books are useful and should help unless you're not making use of it properly >_>

Try focusing on individual muscle groups first before trying to overwork yourself with a fullbody. Like doing waist up a lot and gradually increase the amount you put in the image. That should also help/force you to think of poses/angles to draw because if you're trying to cut out a certain part from the images, you're bound to draw them in a frame and get your character in a position that would take those unwanted parts out of the picture.

It's kinda looking like your proportions are getting longer and longer as you work your way down the body. Try to make the legs shorter (which I didn't do in the redlines, but whatevs) to ge more moe proportions, rather than the semi-josei thing you've got going on here. These aren't perfect suggestions, but I hope they kinda convey the main idea for fixing what's off in these images. >.> *not so hot at anatomyyyy* Make sure to keep your eyes more or less in the center of the head; your craniums have a tendency to be unusually large, even for manga.

SPOILER! :

But I like these poses so much. :> You should od something with themmmm. Please? ?

Hey Matt, you see what Seef did to the breasts? That's the way they should be. (Sorry for not being able to say/show that better originally.)

@Ram - I got the message. Never mind.
@Ged - Did some anatomy studies. Got it. Thanks.
@OC - I always thought it was better to learn the full body and understand how the whole thing works before cutting parts of it off, but I suppose it varies by the person. And I get bored with anatomy studies very quickly, so I think your way'll work better for me.
@Seef - I actually think my style is heading for something more semi-josei-ish. I've been drifting for the past month or so into more semirealistic stuff, with the eyes getting smaller and the girls getting less anorexic and all that. And yeah, I've been nudging the eyes down too much lately. I haven't posted any of my newer stuff here yet, strangely enough.

Also, thanks for the bluelines. They rocks.

@Bacon - That's it. It was hard to see when the rest of the anatomy was wrong, but after seeing Seefy fix it, it becomes a lot more obvious.

Saimoe entry:

No background because I'm lazy like that, and because I'm not confident I can create a background to complement the character.

You'll never know unless you try man.

ooh matt shes cute, did you use ref for the pose? it's awesome.

[Celestial-Fox]

I like where this started, but it's really rough on the finishing, as far as coloring goes. The pose is great, and the only thing I'd suggest is to look up some references for the feet, or find a nice friend to model for you and snap a photo. I like the mood of the piece, though; it matches the character really, really wel.

Augh, I am so behind on helping you, but I'm 200 miles away from my tablet. >.> SOON.

[Slurpee]

Wow.. nice job on the feet.
