Great stuff! My advice is to draw more and draw from real life as often as possible. I know I get vastly different results if I am drawing something from a photo or right in front of me or from my imagination. I think its good to exercise all those different imagination muscles.
My debut novel, The Final Warden is available on Amazon.com in paperback and on Kindle.

This is as far as I got on my dancer before the clarion call of maps drew me back. I'd like to finish it but I'm back in Beast Mode so I dunno.

great sense of movement on this one...
that face angle is a tricky one to capture right, but you did well on it too...
it may have been this thread of yours that started me thinking about doing my own sketching in the guild...
you are either an inspiration or a band influence...
not sure which...
but you do better than i at still producing maps while sketching...
my own map process is still much too time intensive...

That's what I'm here for...influencing either way![]()

That one's looking good. I'm not sure on the perspective on that back arm but the flow of the image is lovely. Great sense of movement.
Yeah, I wanted the elbow (raised arm) pointing towards the viewer but with the hair covering up the bicep the effect gets messed up...I should point the elbow out more due to that. Nice catch. If you're meaning the down arm I wanted that one out to the side and not going back but going back might be interesting.

Yep, I meant her right arm (our left). Now that you explained it I see what you mean.
