Appleblossom is a pink-haired wood nymph of the Nameless Forest who loves singing and colorful flowers. I've been trying to practice drawing human-like figures, and this is one of my more succesful attempts.

Wow! ^.^ I'm very impressed! I really like this pose; it's fairly dynamic, something you don't usually see. I also like how her dress and hair flow in the wind! ^.^

Uhm, I don't like her feet so much. . . They just look a little awkward. Of course, you also do fairly good hands, which I do not. ^.^ Her necklace is a cool design, but it looks like it's almost just part of her skin. . o.O

The only other thing I can think of is there might not be enough forehead. . . This is something my art friends always got onto me about, putting the hairline and the eyes too close together.

Nonetheless, this is overall a very impressive picture! She looks alot like the Appleblossom I saw in my mind when I was wandering through the forest! ^.^

Ooh!!! I like it! ^^ I've always wondered what she looked like...

What struck me first about this piece is the position of her shoulders and upper body. You can really tell that she's walking here. It's hard to get a good walking pose, especially one that looks natural. She looks carefree and thoughtful at the same time. The toes seem a bit awkward, but maybe she's just like that. Not every person we create in art has to have perfect features. Heck, I have weird toes myself. Hehe, anyway, great job! I love the coloring on the dress too! That would be a really nice dress to have... *wishes she had the patience/motivation/skill to custom-make a dress*

The hand holding the dress looks wierd. Is the thumb on the wrong side?

I really like the dress and the bouquet (yes, i checked the dictionary for that one ^.^). I think the braids are cool too. You should try making the necklace different, it looks too....flat. But I think the anklet idea is a nice little detail!
