Well, not MUCH of a loot there... eh? ;o)) Ok, I like it. The Pose is so natural and her smile is such as if sheīs looking at someone beyound the Picture and is about to show him her bounty... *LOL* "Gee, look what Iīve lifted from that old, fat Merchant down the Bazar".... 19))

OHMIGOSH - my favourite so far *S* She's definitely cute...I love the smile, and the hair, and I absolutely ADORE the way you draw clothes *grins* The simplicity of the background doesn't take away from the image, it draws the eye to the real subject. With a more detailed background, she's blend into it, and without a background, she's look odd. It's perfect!

Lovely character, I think the drawing would be more complete if you shaded the background a bit more....make the inside of the arches darker and maybe added some shadow cast from her body on the wall. Just a suggestion 2

Habibi would be correct my friend. Halwa awie.

:-) Antje Schaalmeier replies: "Thank you! *smiles*"

I had thought Habibi meant beloved.

she's beautiful though

:-) Antje Schaalmeier replies: "No, Habibi (or Habiby, to be more correct) means "my cute one" like "my darling" or something like that. Habib means just the adverb "cute"."

I love her! I've been working on a period turkish outfit, so it's really cool to see one painted! her proportions are perfect, and I adore her hair...cute indeed!

:-) Antje Schaalmeier replies: "Thank you. At last somebody who doesnīt wonder why her outfit does not leave her belly naked...12"

Cheers to her! She certainly looks pleased with herself 2

The only thing that bugs me is that the perspective of the building is a bit off: for ex. the doorway on the left looks like a dead end. The bottom line of the inside wall is not in a big enough angle in relation to the bottom line of the facade. I hope this makes at least some sense... it's difficult to explain with words ^_^'

:-) Antje Schaalmeier replies: "Ah, yes, I know, but itīs this building-thing, I canīt draw them, I donīt even like it...12"
