Yea and the request? I know I’ve seen the sketch looks excellent

She's supposed to be walking forward, right?
Her shoulders look too stiff. If you want to convey her as walking you should have the shoulders bump up and down, opposite to the hips. Just ask someone to walk towards you and you'll see it's more than just the legs moving.

Hello from ProjectComment
I really like the colour and shading you've done on this piece. To me it looks especially good on her skin and hair, helping to add a sense of realism and attention to detail and the way she looks. I also feel you did a really good job with the overall shape of her anatomy. There are a few flaws I will get into, but generally speaking the arms look to be the right shape and length, and the legs seem to be as long as the head/torso, if not a little larger. I also really like how you added on the clothing folds to her legs, especially when you more sued shading and highlighting to accomplish this rather than conveying it with the line art.
As mentioned, I do feel there are some minor issues with the anatomy. This is especially true on the stage right arm as there is no obvious sign of the elbow joint which is odd when you compare it to the stage left one as there is a subtle elbow line that works well. There is a slight dent around where her top ends which could be a possible elbow, and if I look at it as one, I feel it makes her upper arm looks too small when compared to the lower one, giving it more of a 40:60 appearance rather than 50:50. Finally I find the way the stage right hand is holding the spear to be odd, as it looks more liker it's hanging loosely in her hand rather than being gripped tightly. Considering the angle, surely it should fall out of her hand? It might be that some of the detailing of the glove is meant to imply that she's holding it tight, but I don't feel that's well conveyed if that is the case. On the top of the spear, I also feel like the point of it doesn't line up with the "end" of the spear. To me it looks like having your right arm out straight, then tilting the hand as far as it can go to the right. I think rotating the edge of the spear five to ten degrees to the stage left would help.
Finally, I noticed some of the lines on her arms and legs look a little shaky. I know all too well how a tablet pen will pick up micro vibrations as you draw, so i would recommend looking into a hand stabiliser to help. If you program doesn't come with one, I've had a friend recommend Lazy Nezumi to me, and while I've yet to look into it myself. I'd also recommend trying to draw the lines in one quick stroke rather than take your time with it. While it can lead to the line veering off in a random direction, once you have it going where you want, it will be a smoother line than if you slowly and "carefully" drew it. I also noticed here were a few incidences where the colouring on her skin and trousers escaped the lineart a little so you may want to be more careful of that moving forward.
I also find myself questioning the expression her face. It looks like she's looking at the floor and making an excited "Oooh!" because of what she can see, leading me to wonder a) why she is looking at the floor and b) what's on there that leaves her so interested. That having been said, I do think the face itself is beautifully done. I love the way you've coloured the eyes and added in the lighting effect to help give them a wet, glassy look. The same can also be said on the lips, giving them both a natural sheen with the highlights, as well as a nice colour, as well as thinking the thickness of them is very well done.

Thank you this helps heaps!
I have struggled with line art for a while being new to the tablet pen and all I use media bang for the time being (because it was free) but ill see if medibang might have something where I can stabilise my work. I do try quick strokes and have redrawn the lines many times, just that doesn't always work.
I think I was chck out your suggested program for better improvement but we will see how that goes ^^ <3
Then we shall improve the following anatomy for the future. Her left arm is meant to be bent if that helps? Idk and I have to practice hands with gripping xD THANK YOU again.
back to work >:3

I'm glad you found it helpful, and you're welcome.
I am glad to hear you're doing quick strokes. I've yet to use it myself, but someone once recommended drawabox.com/lesson/1 to me as a way to help improve my lineart skills, so it may be helpful to you too. Ultimately the end goal is to try and draw without needing a stabiliser, but seeing as how tablet pens can pick up all the micro vibrations, it can be difficult and may take a while. I can't say I've heard of your program before but in my experience no free option has it. I use Sketchbook Pro with the intend of switching to Clip Studio Paint in the foreseeable future, and neither have it on their free options. Likewise, Lazy Nazumi is free for a month then you have to make a one time payment, so you may want to consider saving up and upgrading to some paid programs as I believe that may help in the long run. Out of interest, do you do much traditional work? I sometimes find drawing lines on paper with a pencil can help as well.
Looking at it again, I can see the arm does look bent, but without an obvious elbow it does look more like it's a piece of partially wet spaghetti or something similar (I'm afraid I can't think of a better comparison). As for hands, I would recommend maybe changing the angle to something a little more simple moving forward. I am a strong believer in "don't run before you can walk" and feel getting to grips (no pun intended) with a simpler hand pose, namely either the upper or under side facing the camera will help in the long run.

I do traditional art quite a bit infact thats how I started out, my lines there were fine. At that point it was anatomy and coloring was the most I needed to work on one day I think I may post some old stuff to redraw. I still do traditional as I have a sketch book and use it often. I wouldn't brag but my line art is much better there.
Lel yeah I was meant to be bent back wards so the elbow is on the other end. With grips and hands in general I feel it is the best way to just go for it. The more you draw and acknowledge your own flaws that more you can improve.
Like I should start start learning the angles of weapons and how they work and how I learn is hands on.. running in other words

Ahh I see. I too find my traditional line art tends to be better than my digital one (at least with a pencil), as I find it flows more smoothly and easily, where as with a tablet I find I'm more fighting with where I want the line to go.
That's fair. I've always likened art to going to the gym and ensuring you do enough to feel sore the day after and get a little stronger, but not go too "over the top" and do a serious injury. It's why I'd prefer to draw a simple hand now - doing reps at a comfortable weight - building up what I can do until I find them easy, then try a more complex hand - raising the weight - rather than trying to draw the most complicated hand/lift the heaviest weight from the start. However, if you find that approach works for you then I wish you the best.

< this is my first ever drawing on the drawing tablet and it absolutely sucks. Its extremely sketchy and the colours are blurred and the shading isn't even half decent.
And of course the hand ~ anatomy. I also had sketch bookX that was my first digital program which was hard to pull away from because I had always drawn with my finger
such as this line work looks much better. It was a big change but I much needed one if I was ever going to improve digitally my hand eye coordination needed to improve.
Thats always how I've practiced too or I reflect from references. I practice same as you and of course I myself knows what looks good and bad.(I believe that you are your own worst critique) So I do tend to sticks to easier hand positions.
I draw with pen and pencil with easy (depending if its cartoon then yes). yeah I have to fight with my line work too. Usually I sketch it a few million times and then trace the best line of course after that its fixing everything (lines) up. Such as with this piece I had to repeat the head and feet quite a bit. ^^

Hey im here from ProjectComment
This is realy nice but the head is a little too small~
The metal thing on her arm with the black stripe araund her arm makes the shoulders look like skin and the rest of her arm look like a long glove~ maybe just put the shadeing more up~
The sphere is a bid strange idk.
This is not a hate comment evrything else is great!
<3333

Thank you! um idk bout the head but your probably right it could be a bit bigger. As for the other things the dark shading around the shoulder pad is meant to be sorta darker~ The streak is meant for highlighting but if you do get that feel I understand.
<3 thank you again
