This is a character I created named Daylu Cypress. She's a pretty cool girl, but her half-sister is a demi-goddess (and a mean-spirited one at that), and there is a rivalry between the two. For now, Daylu's just getting set to go to a beach party near her village to have some fun.

Woops, I just read all the previous comments and all the words got taken out of my mouth. Grr!
Anyways, yea, the designs on her top are really attractive.
I also would like to see this coloured. I know how you feel about colouring, after all, my picture's next to the word 'lazy' in the dictionary and colouring always get smudged and loose the details. For some reason, I see the top is an olive green in colour. Wonder why? Proabbly because I see too many of them!
Well, everything looks three dimensional except for her skirt. No offense, just what I see and constructive criticism.

:-) Patrick R Derksen replies: "I appreciate your comments very much. I have the same reservations about colouring as you do; they always make it worse. I want to start colouring some day, but I've been saying that for a long while. And I agree that the skirt does look a little flat. Thanks very much!"

Pretty lady ~ nice pose ~ good proportions ~ everything from her hair to her hips is well executed ~ the "shading" (I hate that word!!) IS good but needs more time on it ~ the setting lets her down badly ~ you are capable of better...... I'm not trying to flame you....... LOL Being a trainee teacher you will understand the benefits of CONSTRUCTIVE criticism :^)

:-) Patrick R Derksen replies: "Oh yes, the background DOES leave much to be desired, I agree. That's pure laziness on my part. For this drawing, that's just the way it is."

This is a gorgeous picture! You really got a nice seductive thing going on here! ^_^

She is really pretty!!. I also love the simplicity of the background. It keeps her as the focal point.

2 Patrick R Derksen replies: "Well, there you go!"

The picture really takes my breath away, but the skirt does seem a little flat. Maybe you should draw it as if it was a towel, wrapped around her waist with a little flap point were the towel ends. And maybe put a few seagulls in the background and a few sea shells on the shore.
