Fiendish Elf Female [comments please]

[Liquide]

Well just tried the fem anatomy for the first time, tell me whatcha think!

[kkoie]

your knowledge and skill with drawing anatomy is impressive. It is a nice sketch. Although in some instances, it does sort of look like a male with breasts. In order to practise more, you might consider drawing live sketches, like do drawings of your girl friend.

Girl friend hmmm yah had one of those once a long time ago, I actually do all my stuff freehand mate , would love to have models I could draw off though

[Liquide]

Here is my second take on the female body/face ever, the muscular appearance are intentional so dun comment on that unless you see something odd with it

other then that, help to become better.

[Seri]

good job, a lot better than I could do ;p had to say it

I think I see where you might have a problem with the face, maybe the eyes are too far up?
sposed to be in the middle of the face, hmmm I'm not so good with critiquing, but you made smaller feet in the second one
well hope it helps

If you are looking for a muscular female form, look around for pictures of female bodybuilders. I think you will find they tend to be less... heavily curved. Heavy exercise tends to remove much of the strategic padding that enhances the skeletal differences. For instance, when you take off some padding and put on muscle, the fact that the female hips are wider becomes less obvious.

Now if she didn't look Fiendish, I'd say she was hot... Good Drawing Liquide

Maybe it's just me, but with such advanced musculature I think she looks more like a half-orc or even full-blooded orc than an elf. Yeah, I see the pointed ears; yeah, I see the diagonal eyes; but what jumps out at me more are the thick jaw, large head, and (especially on the second drawing) really thick neck. You've even given her a pronounced, almost "cavemanish" brow in the first drawing.

Perhaps I'm the victim of seeing too many stereotypical elves over the years, but neither of these drawings says "elf" to me. I imagine even a ridiculously strong elf would have a certain innate grace and suppleness - think "martial arts expert" rather than "weight lifter."

I like the hands in the second picture; the long nails in the first seem almost like claws, again enhancing the "demonic" look.

If it were me, I think I'd try a thinner neck and less "macho" jaw on your second picture. But then again, this may be just me. I'm certainly not a professional artist.

Nice work, in any case!

Well just a very rough sketch and third female ever for me, keep those comments coming in please

about 2/5ths done on this one (that is 40% for you number crunchies) and no real shadework done yet.

[Baastet]

Thier all rather good Liquide for your first attempts.

Were you trying to go for very muscular women? I would like to see a "waifish" woman done by you! ^_~

My only real advice is to lengthen the thighs a wee bit more... Women tend to be longer in the leg than men.. in the general make up of height.

[kkoie]

I like the second and third drawings a lot. I have no problem with the muscular appearance. To be perfectly honest, my innitial reaction to the first drawing reminded me a lot of Michaelangelo's(sp?) work. Although his females looked the way they did for a differn't reason than yours I think. I understand not having models, before my wife the only model experience I got was in college.

OK here comes another try, this one is not and elf though

[Liquide]

Well here is my 5th try on the female body.

This time I give you the female tiefling Iyand'ra wearing a living demon armor.

What do you think?

[kkoie]

They both look really cool. I think you did a great job!

Well I do like your comment mate, but why is it good is the follow-up , need to know what to improve and what to keep when I learn how to do women.

[evileeyore]

Why are they good. The face. You've succeed in capturing a more femine cast to the face.

Thanks mate, most of my mates say that I have made all of these way to manly, the first one I can agree on but I think I have gotten the ang of it in the last 2.

[Trevalon Moonleirion]

Great job, man! These are very good pics, and I commend you for sticking with doing something you like (or at least I hope you like it!) Your first attempts DID look pretty manly, but as the pictures progressed, the faces softened up quite a bit. My only comment is the eyes. They eyes are a bit too pronounced...too darkly drawn... too... too prominent or big.. I'm not sure what it is exactly. But they don't seem to fit the rest of the face.

Other than my constructive criticism, MARVELOUS work--keep it up!!!!

[reapersaurus]

yes, they've been getting better in leaps and bounds.
Initially, the heads were huge and features too muscular.

The latest is quite feminine.

Work on the eyes, tho.
I think in general the eyes you're drawing are WAY too big for the feminine look.

[Liquide]

Here we have her, catwoman at least the way I want catwoman to look like .

This one is drawn from a character I saw in a Darkness comic though, my first non-freehand drawing of a female so far.

Hope you like her and please keep those comments and suggestions coming.
