Hi All! I'm currently an engineer by day and a hobby/aspiring professional artist at all other hours. I'm working improve my skills with the hope that one day I can be a full time professional artist.

Hello fellow engineer! The image looks good, but you may want to consider showing the twist of her neck in the positioning of her shoulders and muscles. I looks like her head is turning over her shoulder a teeny bit more than it should.

I thought her head might be turned too much but I've been staring at it for so long that I can't tell. Thanks for the feedback!

I really like this one!!

The only thing I can is to really work on eyes nose and mouth ane the perspective the face is shown in.....if you did that these images would look phenomenal since the illustration and Idea itself were very well put!

I really like the concept here and you do a good job rendering the basic values. However the anatomy needs work and that can be solved easiest by working with exact reference if you don't have a lot of mileage with figure drawing. So if you want to push this piece to its highest potential, I would suggest finding a photo with that exact pose if you have not done that already. Keep up the good work Rachel.

Thanks so much @fathomcube, I'm glad you like it! Can you be more specific about how the perspective of the face looks off to you?

Thanks for the feedback, @catapanoart. I am wondering if you could be more specific about what part of the anatomy looks off to you? I didn't have a reference that matched the pose exactly but I did use reference. Just to be clear I'm not arguing with you just having a hard time seeing what's wrong.

"Finished" this portrait over the weekend, although I'm not sure I'm happy with it but I am done fidgeting with it for now.
