Tickled 4 Your Pleasure!

I just drew this about half-an-hour ago. The feet aren't that great and the hands need some work, but I think this turned out rather well. Hope you like it.

There's a few other little issues, too. Her head's quite large. Disproportionately to in my opinion. Her arms are waaaay wrong. You drew them being a uniform thickness down their entire length, which is incorrect 🙁

The elbow is slightly smaller than the shoulder, and the wrist is slightly smaller still.

Hands are a pain, I know! But here's something to consider when sizing up hands. The distance from the base of the palm to the tip of the middle finger should be very close to the distance between the chin and hairline on the face! Try to keep your eye on that and it'll make your hands waaaaay easier to get right! 😀

Keep it up, BigTicklingFan! Don't ever stop practicing! Most of all, have fun! 😀

Thanks for sharing!

You did pretty good on that. Not to be a critigue, but the only thing I can agree with The Inner James is her right hand. I bet it wasn't easy making it the same.

Oh well, keep up the good work nontheless. 🙂

Most of what The Inner Jamie said. It is possible to go for a deliberately distorted style (chibi or cartoon), but if so one needs to get across a convincing "I meant to do that." To a large extent, its a matter of "knowing what the rules are before you break them."

Even for a distorted style, I think the feet need to be bigger. You also need to give the illusion of depth somehow, that the feet are a legs-length closer to us than the rest of the body.

My advice is first: Keep drawing! Everyone says this, because it is good advice.

Second, look for some tutorials on body-proportions. There are free ones on-line, or if you are willing to spend a little money my recommendation is Jack Hamm's Drawing the Head and Figure

Or for a very short version: An "ideal" body is eight head-heights tall. A foot is as long as a head, and a hand is as long as a face, or 3/4th a head. (And one common mistake you didn't make: eyes don't go at the top of the head, but half-way down, in the middle of it.)

And since you mentioned the feet needing improvement, I've attached a quick toe tutorial I recently threw together.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. As I said I'm still learning so all this is really helpful. I'll check out that tutorial too SableSword. I appreciate you posting that for me. And the link to that book.

The hands were give me a difficult time and so were the feet. This was my second time trying to draw them.

Thanks again!
