Good day! Been drawing this goblin for about a day now, and found myself stuck as to how to approach the arms. I fear they may be too long, and that I should shorten them, but not sure if that's the right approach, or if I need to change some other part of the body to make it look better. Thus, I ask for any advice and feedback that can be used to further my progression on the piece below!
Without clothing on. Showing more of the rough sketch/gesture drawing.

With clothes, sort of suit and tie type of deal. Went with how World of Warcraft imagined goblins, but plan to make more interesting, based fantasy goblins in the future.

Still working on the legs, as they're still rough sketches, can't seem to work out how to do the crotch area either. So help there too would be awesome!

Critiques and feedback outside of the aid are also welcomed! I'm always happy to listen to input and tips.

Hey there! My suggestion for the arms would be to maybe give them a prop in their left hand? Like what does this goblin do? Are they an accountant for the orcs? Or a seedy crime boss?

Or you could lower it down a bit, have the elbow resting on the chair, that might help too.

Looks pretty cool!

Hey Jake, great ideas! I'll give them a go and see what they look like. The left arm (her right) still remains a struggle for me, so I'll give it a go. Thanks again!

Further W.I.P of the goblin. I thank the Discord provided by Art School for their input and aid, evermore the individual Doomblick, who is critical for the example given to me and the knowledge I gleaned off the sketch they did. They helped me out with a better study of the body using red lines, and the overall shape of torsos, the structure of legs, and so on. I'm going to link their Twitter below as thanks, and hope some of you all check them out as I continue the further study and work on my own piece, and try to mimic what I learned from Doomblick for future pieces.

Of course, more feedback and critiques are always welcomed!

More face, clothes, and other details in the future!

Looks solid so far! Definitely an improvement relative to your last sketch :+1:
