Was bored earlier and just started to sketch an original character concept, still working on it though.

Librarian?

It's pretty nice. It has problems, though:

- The mouth should be lowered all the way down, it looks like she has a huge chin. O.O

- You should clean the picture and the lines. It looks.. messy..

- Hair could use some more detail.

Her legs are in a slightly odd pose. Maybe if the front leg were bent back a little?

I like the snooty expression on her face, assuming you were going for snooty. smile.gif

The other problem is the fashion disaster element, and I don't mean in the she's-a-librarian-who-doesn't-know-how-to-dress way. Those bellbottoms have to go. Try a tapered leg. Those are popular among librarians. wink.gif

I kinda like the bellbottoms. But then, I like wearing them myself. I'm very fashion-backwards. :-)

Cute sketch. I think the position of her mouth is more to convey attitude, but I suppose it could look like she has a big chin.

I think it's intended to convey here attitude. I think it looks appropriate.

It's a sketch....


Dunno what's with these critics...I like it. Then again I can't draw so anything decent impresses me. tongue.gif

That's some fine work, there. I think it's one of the best I've seen from you. smile.gif

I like her outfit; turtleneck sweater and bellbottoms - definitely something the librarians 'round here would wear. Then again, just about everyone - of all ages - downtown has fashion sense stuck in the 60's-70's (and I'm often an offender as well). The 'holier-than-thou' expression is fitting, too.

The only (minor) problem I see is her left ankle. The top visible part needs to be angled a bit more to the right; the way it is now makes it appear as though she has one heck of a sprain, as it isn't lined up properly with the flow of that leg.

Other than that it's great!

I do like the picture in general, the only thing that bothers me is the head. It seems too large for the body, or could just be the chin. Unless you were going for a more cartoony look where proportions wouldn't matter as much, a small change to the head would make it better. I look forward to seeing more of your work! happy.gif

I didn't really like the structure of the picture and I've been meaning to redraw it, but never came to it. But once again, out of boredom, I did some other sketches.

I couldn't sleep the other night and it was on, the rest is history.

Actually, the head to upper body ratio of the librarian seems okay to me. When done right, a head that's slightly too big (or at least not elmer fuddish) for the body conveys a nifty sense of petiteness (she ain't She-Hulk, either). I believe it's the waist/butt area that seems too small. I don't know...it jest bothers me for some reason.

Pretty nice sketches.

Upon a quick view, I only notice two problems:
1. The "librarian"'s face makes her look like a man.
2. Kim's breasts are too obvious.
