Description
Uh-huhIt was a doodle I'd had no intention of finishing, but I decided to ink it, and then muck with it in photoshop. Sorry about the uninteresting BG.
Inked with ballpoint pen, more practice from my tutor
Feathers (cop-out

Hey, it looks nice ^_^
This is probably harder to explain using just words
Things possible for improvement:
- The nose is kinda too straight, since this is not front view, so I think it should be more slanting to the direction she is looking to.
- Her upper arms are little bit too short. It should line up with her waist.
Things you did pretty well:
- The shadings looks really great, It's not too heavy, very well balanced with the lineart.
- I actually like the simple background. It's not distracting the character, and those feathers really help the flow.
Some things you might want to try out:
- For better composition, try spiral/circular stuff. It helps the flow of the pictures and especially powerful for making backgrounds.

Thanks for the critique. I'll take a look at that. Yeah, when I don't plan a background for a picture beforehand I sort of find myself at a loss of what to do. But spirals... I'll look into it.

You know, I keep on hearing artsists bagging themselves out for simple, minimal backgrounds, but more often than not they work better than busy ones (the figure brought forth more... after all, shouldn't bgs be accents rather than main features?)
I know I say this a lot about your work, but I love the geometry of the composition. The smooth right angle sets of the swirly motions of the feathers and her skirt. And the greyscale looks awesome.

oooohsss....I like the windy ness. Nice touch with the finely detailed feathers as well.
Very nice subtle shading, along with a nice BG design. Perhaps putting a gradient in will make her more stand out.
a bit of C&C
-Her left hand seems bigger than her right, even though it should be a tad bit smaller in that perspective. I'm guessing it's the size of her fingers that kinda threw it off.
-and not a real biggie the shadow that's suppose to be on her right thigh doesn't seem to be dark enough. When I look at it, it looks like it got cut off for some reason.
But all in all, a very good illustration

Ah yeah, I see them... Eh... no big deal to me. The hand does like a tad bigger if I stare at it for ages, but I sort of did the hand last minute and figured, heck looks okay with me. Hands were never my strong suit, but your suggestions noted and stored away in my noggin.
