The Morning Sunlight

Description

So this morning, I got it into my head to draw a picture of a pretty centauress standing with her arms wrapped around her. This is not that picture; that picture didn't work out, and this is what grew out of it. This has a lot more action and motion, and it still has a little in common with the original (the shape of the face, for example), but that's about it.

I did this in one "sitting" (actually, I was lying in bed) over about four or five hours this morning. As usual, CorelDRAW and a mouse, entirely, from start to finish (the sunlight is made from lenses!).

My wife has named her Magenta, and I think the name's pretty appropriate :)

This is very pretty, but if you don't mind, I'm going to give you some advice.

Even when dealing with anime, the basic facial proportions still apply. The eyes should fall at the center of the face so that the spaces above and below the eyes are the same size. The bottom of the nose is halfway between the eyes and the chin, and the mouth is halfway between the nose and the chin.

Also, the upper arm from shoulder to the inside of the elbow should be the same length as the forearm, from the inside of the elbow to the inside of the wrist. The forearm, surprisingly, is also the same size as the person's foot. Go ahead and hold your own foot next to your forearm and you'll see what I mean.

I think that if you were to adjust these features slightly to fit the given guidelines, this would work a lot better. Right now her face just looks a bit...off.

I hope I helped you a bit, instead of seeming like an overly critical nut.
