Usually once a year I'll attempt a female character and usually I'll fail miserably. However THIS year I think I did a half-way decent job! Yay! But that's probably only because I'm hiding the boobies. :D But even the hips were pretty femmy for a change so kinda proud of this one. First pic of 2013! Took a break for awhile but hopefully I'll be posting more this year again. Valor is an old character of mine from forever ago.

As I've said many times before, my eyes go to the face first. I picked up on the longer eyelashes first and the long hair and assumed the correct gender. The hips work well but her legs and especially her calves are a little too thick to my eyes. I would also have to add that they legs are too thick to my eyes but seem to fit the rest of her. I don't understand how that works in my brain but the slightly thicker legs somehow match the rest of her. So, yeah, I guess you got it right.
Great, now I'm all perplexed and stuff.
Good work, and do this more than once a year, wouldja please?

I have to agree with you on your observations--I, too, first notice eyes...I think I remember last year that I wasn't satisfied with the eyes in that female subject...but this year, they eyes do have that feminine aspect to them. However, I also felt that the calves seemed a bit too wide for female legs.
I love this pose, and the facial expression, too. Don't give up, Kooky! *pet-pets*

Yay!! Very happy to hear that you see some improvement! ^.^ I was happy with the hips for like the first time ever too. Hehe. Though I was a little disappointed in the reaction. She only got about half the favs other, much more poorly drawn, females I've done have gotten. Maybe it was a bad time to post or people were upset at lack of boobage. Hehe.
Well maybe she's one of those full figured gals. ;) But yeah I didn't want her 'model' thin or anything so sounds about right to me. Hehe. My main focus was on the hips, that's usually where I fall the most short when drawing the ladies! Well, that and boobs, but here I hid them away. >.> Baby steps. ^.^
She came out very nice indeed. Cute and fluffy, and quite cozy in her socks. ^^
I think you're doing a fine job on female characters. If you're finding it difficult to do breasts and female hips etc., the best thing you can do is practice, too. Don't hide 'em - work on 'em, and if you can't get 'em right, work on 'em some more until you do! :)
