This is a pencil drawing which I've coulored in Photoshop. I think it got some kind of water color effect. I know the proportions are a bit off but it's slowly getting better.

I like her hair!
You are right about the proportions, but if you make her tail thicker, and longer, and bring it round a little more (rotating about 20degrees, since I cant think of a better way to explain it), they will be much better I think. You might even be able to do that on your computer with the clone tool....

:-) Martina Karlsson replies: "Thanks for your comment! Yes maybe that will make it look a little better.. I'll see if I can do something about it sometime =)"

Why is she so distorted? Her right arm looks like its going into her neck. And her left arm is shorter than the other. Also, her butt is sticking out like a camel. No affence. The webbed fingers and the head are good. I don't really like the ear. It looks kind of like a bat wing. And one last thing, the tail needs to be a little longer. I agree with the person before me about the curving tail though. I really do like the face and the wave beaten hair and the coloring though. Good job.

:-) Martina Karlsson replies: "I think I was trying some perspective thing with her arms and tail, and it didn't turn out too well as you've noticed. "

well the tail should be bigger but i'm just gonna shut my big mouth and say "it's great!"
no doubt you are sick and tired of my criticism, so i'll just end it here 2

It does have some proportional problems, but it adds to her charm. Very good color. Nice job on her hair. OH and I love the starfish.
