Description ~dalcon08 asked how to draw Tali.
It's just my point of view, might not be yours, and it really isn't perfect. Only trying to help with some tiny tips, heh.

I'll just insist on the fact that Tali's suit very very important. If you want to draw her, since we don't see her face, you need the suit to be detailed. This is the only thing we see of her's.

And CURVES.

EDIT : Just to help, here are some screenshots in HD :

i noticed that the suit DOES count when drawing her. Well, at least i have learned that after a million mistakes on the helmet T__T then her veil design is just GAHHH!

Looks like it'll help me a lot. Thanks!
Oddly, her digits are the hardest thing for me to draw. Though there are only three of them on each hand.

You're welcome
I think you can draw her hands with a human one as a reference - you need to join the index with the middle finger, then the ring with the little finger.
Mmmmh, I'll draw something if I have time

Great reference, you certainly picked out the most important character traits of her.
I do think this will help a lot of folks, cause Tali ain't the easiest character to draw (suit detail galore)

And yes, "the Curves"........ah, she does have that

shadowdude7 In reply to ??? [2010-08-14 02:48:25 +0000 UTC]

Very nice. I think the hood and the stupid necklace thing are the hardest parts though, for me. And I always draw her neck too short.
