Description
Quick study in two things I feel I need much more practice on. Perspective and bare feet. Basic pencil sketch and a few minutes to clean up some lines in Photoshop.Hsiu Mei doesn't seem all to thrilled to be the subject of another picture. She relaxes in bed with one of her portable gaming systems, which consists of a pair of joysticks you hold up that projects a holographic screen between them. For a girl that hates to show off any part of her body, she's got some nice legs and a cute pair of feets. :3

Quite lovely, indeed. Though, I recommend, to help with your work you should use tracing paper. What I mean is: draw your image, as rough as it may be, then correct your own mistakes by using your own line work as a guide. Trust me, it works really well for me, and it's not cheating because it's your own work that you're using as a base.

Thanks for the compliment and the suggestions!
I am surprised that a picture of mine that is two+ years old has gotten the attention it has. What I usually do is similar to your tracing paper idea, in that I scan my work into photoshop and make adjustments with a wacom tablet. I find it a lot easier to spot mistakes if I simply flip the picture around and view it in reverse. After working with a drawing for hours, it's hard to look at it subjectively without a fresh point of view.
I really should get a new scanner and post more things!

Yes, looking at it in reverse is the idea - that's where the mistakes come to light.
Oh, and please, do post more.

No worries. Once I get my scanner back after my move, I'll be flooding my page with plenty more musings for folks to enjoy, eh? And thanks for the watch!

Being able to draw good feet is the gift that keeps on giving. Especially since a lot of others can't. Fantastic work.

Thanks a bunch! I still need a lot of practice, IMO, but your kind words are good encouragement.

They are LOVERLY FEETS!
If she gets angry over the compliment, she can take it out on me by trampling me silly!
She seems to be the type who'd enjoy that!

I'll thank you on behalf of Hsiu Mei, because she'd prolly kill you if you complimented her like that :3

She hates compliments. And people. And... erm. Well, everything really. Fun character to write, though!

But she's adorable and her feets are awesome. T.T

Thanks! I used a regular pencil on paper for the original sketch, but I use Photoshop to quickly clean up my lines. You can tell how messy I get with my lines by how jagged the bed sheet and pillow is XD
