very nice shading and body shape, that's a dificult pose to draw. one thing i noted though is that her brests are a bitoff kilter- for the perspective itshould be her left brest that is smaller, not the right. Also, when your trying to draw female faces a good ting to reember is to keep the neck slender and the chin more pointy than boxy. Other than that it is a very good pic, especially for someone not used to drawing delicate females, good job!=)

You might want to work on the angle of the eyes. Try to make them more to the horizontal. The current picture makes the elf look highly venomous (like some evil sorceress) in my opinion. Extremely good work on the nose, which is a very difficult thing to draw; although, in female characters (especially in anime - my style) the nose is generally less accentuated than you have done. The hair is sort of disheveled (adding to my general view of a cunning sorceress look) and she seems to have an aweful lot of piercings to her ear. Good for you for using external objects (unusual fountain) in the drawing.

VERY well done. While she is not completly realistic (With his breasts and head) It looks almost like she was done so purposfully. This is one of the best pictures I've seen on elfwood in a long time. Keep up the good work, I'm simply obsessed with your gallery!

I like the head-band and the fountain. The fountain is unique and stylish.

I have a critique on the clothing though. The material's folding is wrong. The folds should either be moved down with a little more curve to them, moved down and minimized (half as many lines), or eliminated. I would go with minimization.

Fabric stretches at the tightest points; this would be at the thickest point of her breasts. The outermost point on her breasts is about 3/4 of the way down. At this point would be the straightest line (but would look slightly curved due to the depth). All other folds would be the material trying to ease pressure on this line.

If you went with looser clothing, then the folds would gather towards, and drape off of the outermost point.

Ha ha I have the exact opposite problem, any how you pulled it off in a very elegant and feminine way, pic looks great!
