My First Leela Picture...suggestions?

[:]

this is a sketch i did of leela in an attempt at saving fry (not seen in picture) i took the picture with my digital camera...thats why the quality is crap...

[#1 :]

That's pretty cool. Nicely done 
Welcome to PEEL BTW. 

The Mods would probably prefer if you used the button if you make a mistake. 

[#2 :]

Wow, I love your stylisation, that's increadibly cool! 

[#3 :]

Cool sketch!

Would be nice to see more like this.

[#4 :]

Welcome to PEEL Gwen, that is really cool 

I tidied up your multiple post 

[#5 :]

Welcome to PEEL, Gwen. Enjoy it here.

The sketch looks great. Good work.

[#6 :]

Hello Gwen and welcome. Nice pic.

[#7 :]

thanks for cleaning it up! i made a mess...such a nice warm welcome from everyone...and yes Im gonna try and do a finished picture and actually scan it!

something seems kinda off about the lower lip, but i can't figure out what it is. it's something slight i think.

[#9 :]

I know what it is, Venus. Groening-style characters don't have a distinct lower lip, they just have the lower lip sort of combined with the neck.
Nice piece of art, by the way. Very original.

[#10 :]

that's it! that's what was bothering me.

edit: isn't the neck a little long too? i love the way the hair is done though, and the face is very expressive, i like that.

[#11 :]

To tell the truth, I'm not crazy about it, the top half of the head is really good, the hair is impeccably styled but the mouth and neck are just, blah, the mouth is off putting, it looks like a hand puppet's and the upper lip looks kind of like a pencil-moustache.

The body has good arms and shoulders, although maybe a little small, but, not to put to fine a point of it, the breasts are off, brutally honesty her chest looks like that of a malformed man.

You've got definate potential don't get me wrong but I don't see it fully expressed in this pic, the style's good, but the picture isn't.

[#12 :]

Welcome to PEEL you did a good job on it          Im not a critic so you get a good say from me

[#13 :]

Not to pick on you Cubert, but who made your avatar non-transparent?

Note: You won't know this, but i'm asking in general, i thought non-transparent ones were turned down.

She has a slight case of Muppet-mouth.

[#15 :]

Wow... that is... um cool. But yeah, her  mouth is a little muppety...

[#16 :]

O_o Lol, I was thinking "muppets" when looking at this picture as well. The lower body does seem a bit off, but I love the way you did her hair and eye - got that whole anime feel to it.  I like.
