Two of my favorite sketches in my sketchbook so far, cause they aren't crap. Enjoy!

I had megaman on my mind, but I wasn't really trying to go for a specific character, just the look :P

Dammit bro... you make me feel bad about my art...

But they're both really well made. I like the popsicle chick better though.
Though on the megaman guy, you could darken the lines a bit so it doesn't seem so sketchy on the scarf or blade.

That first picture was pretty well done, the hands look as good as they come, and there seems to be effort in the clothing.

One big gripe that I have, however, is her head, or rather, her hair. For one, it doesn't truly reflect the shape of of her skull. Perhaps the fringe is simply sticking out, but looking on it head on it looks like her head shape is a deformed egg.

That, and the way it moved is confusing. Assuming wind is blowing from image left to right, given the way the hair curves to the right, you would assume that it would press against, or at least, be close to her scalp. Instead, with her hair drawn like this, it looks like an abstract representation of sonic the hedgehog.

That said, the way you draw the hair also makes it look very rigid. The hair on her right never curves more than once, so it looks as if they were sharp bananas. There's no variation in angle, degree of curvature, etc.


In other news....

Thee position of her head makes it look like she's craning forward in a rather uncomfortable position.

Her armpit is way to high. If I followed along the forearm lines, they would reach to a spot much lower than where you've drawn the armpit to be.

Her boobs are...too low, you've actually drawn her right boob to be lower than her left, and it makes it look like she has sagging tits. Really sagging.

Also, as much as I commend you for the work you've done on the clothing folds...they, sadly, don't make sense. The folds often contradict with each other and, despite the sleeve making the shirt feel like a rather flowy, airy garment, it seems to stick onto her torso, particularly at her boobs, where there are even stretch lines between them (which are also sort of wrong, because the point where the shirt would be stretched the most would be at the nipples, where the boobs stick out the most, and so would be where the stretch lines would actually be.)

A final trivial observation would be that her ear is too small in width considering the angle, and a little lower than it should be (it should be between the eyebrows and nose.)

Thanks man! With her hair, or with the entire body really, I was trying to give the impression that she is whipping around like she was surprised, hence overly poofy hair, odd head angle, and the shoulders. Now the shirt.... I got a bit lazy on. the folds should have all been going in a diagonal motion towards her left side if she was twisting her body, but I kind of just went with the initial sketch that i had. I think the boobs are alright, although the right one should be a bit higher so it doesn't contradict the feeling of her leaning back. The width of the ear should be a bit wider, yeah, but she's raising her eyebrow so I think it would look odd if i raised it more.
