I'm trying to lock down some solid portraits of one of my original characters. I need some feedback on what to do with certain parts of her body. I feel like her left shoulder and arm is too big and it makes her left side look small even though her right shoulder is more back and behind her body. I feel like I either have to make one side smaller or the other side bigger somehow without losing the "feel" of the pose. The idea is she is posing for a painting trying to look noble/regal. She is also supposed to be quite muscular and tall. I appreciate any critique as I'm still very new to drawing.
It might help if you construct your figure first and then build your anatomy on top. Also, try to have the hair feel more full and cascading. I hope this sketch helps out :)
The sketch definitely helps. I really appreciate it, thank you
the figure block first is good, a thicker hair mass dropping past one shoulder before you split strands might make the cascade read before the face details
idk if growing the right side is the fix, maybe slim just the left upper arm a bit so the shoulder still feels strong and she keeps that regal lean
Yep that's what I decided to do. Thank you!
