Olaffson: Ok, I don't want to sound like a jerk but I kinda agree with POMA, even if it could have definitely be worded in a different way.
The main problem I see is the lack of a "base", which is necessary to set the proportions and anatomy in the right way before completing the drawing over it. I'd highly recommend to build the body using a set of geometrical figures (there are tons of tutorials about that on the internet), which work well both on realistic and cartoon figures, just with different proportions.
So, I think practicing on that is the best way ^^ And don't be discouraged, with training you will certainly improve!
Olaffson: @Strawberry-Jamasaur: I wouldn't worry much about the very first results, that stuff takes ages to practice! ^^ I'm sure it will be amazing though.
Olaffson: So... last night I dreamed Kazerad wanted to conquer the world. And he was a quadriplegic on a wheelchair. And Geralt of Rivia managed to stop him.
.... don't know what to think.
Olaffson: Oh, one more thing! When drawing a body, be it cartoony or not, once you decide the proportions, try to sketch every body part as a set of geometric figures and build some kind of "base dummy" with them. This will be the base of the actual drawing and helps keeping a much greater control of anatomy and proportions.
Since I always explain myself as crap, I mean something like this :P http://img06.deviantart.net/750a/i/2008/035/2/6/body__s_tutorial_3_by_calizaa.jpg
Olaffson: Yup, what was said above is the most important thing, draw for fun and don't force yourself to, that's the best way to lose all the interest.
Even if you're at the beginning, I'd also suggest to push yourself out of your "comfort zone" too. Always experiment with new techniques, coloring and stuff, even if at the beginning they might seem uncomfortable, the results will be twice as rewarding! (and you might find a medium that you particularly love).
Olaffson: This is the best one in my opinion, everything is great about it. The perspective is perfect and its effect is enhanced by the use of curved lines and Katia's body position (perfect perspective on that too). What makes the piece so frantic-looking is her expression though, totally spot on!
This work in my opinion would totally deserved to be inked and colored, it would look even more awesome than it is!
Olaffson: Holy Frack! I know they are pretty old but why no one ever commented on this artist's works?? D: They are amazing!
There are quite a lot of hidden gems in this gallery!
Olaffson: Holy frack, I really love this one, I have a soft spot for greyscale works! If I had to point a little thing I'd say the eye looks a bit too "on the side", but it's still gorgeous!
The other version is great too :P Looks like a classic nude.
