Description
This is for It's sort of an homage to her style of sexy. I said I was going to draw one, and I finally did get around to it. Yes, if it were really a KK style pin-up girl there would be more tattoos and piercings, but this is enough for me!The title is from one of my favorite songs by Primus. My favorite song by Primus is "Winona's Big Brown Beaver".
Colored pencil doodle.

She's so cool! I love her green hair and tattoo!
I really like your cute and cartoony style with the girls in sexy poses. It's really unique!

Thank you! I think mostly I'm really just about cute girls. I don't need any danger or bondage to enhance the pleasure of a good-looking girl, but it seems a lot of people do. The green hair and tattoos thing is probably something I wouldn't do on my own, but it was a suggestion from a friend here on DA. I think she came out pretty well.

No. She makes her own luck.
Thanks for the comment!

No real problem with the shoulder girdle, here (maybe still some question about the tilt of the head on the neck?).
Some parts, however are weak, as feet and hands, which lack a strong third dimension.
Even if you draw in pure outline, as a silhouette, some cues to the 3rd dimension have to be included for the eye to pick up on. You did that with color, but a touch of line or harder color notes suggesting shade or shadow would help.
Maybe a little too much re-curve in the calves - it gives them a rubbery look (not in texture, which I like, but in the skeleton, which I don't.)

See, a lot of this stuff is what I consider disagreement with what I choose to do rather than doing it wrong. If everybody made the same decisions based on the same qualifications than it would be easy to say: this is better than that. Some people feel they can definitively say things like that, but I'm not one of them. I know I can tell you which I prefer, and sometimes I will feel strongly about it, especially in terms of the drek that gets churned out in film and music these days. I can tell you I prefer the works I produce over many artists who are more technically proficient than I am, so as far as my line of thinking goes, I must be making some good choices. I used to fret a lot more over the mechanics of figure drawing, and I don't so much any more. Beyond basic reference to a body in a pose, which I do think of in terms of basic forms and build up from there, I don't much care about what the "reality" of a situation is; I edit to create a form I like. I know what I would like to see, and as such I feel like I'm trying to make decisions involving taste instead of accuracy. I do totally agree with you that I can and should increase my use of darker values in order to create a more three-dimensional feel in many areas, but I really don't like making those decisions, and I tend to lose confidence in them. I'm not completely unsatisfied with my pin-up girls having the appearance of an unreal, floating pastel dream.

If I understand correctly, you are content with your work and simply want to exhibit it. Therefore, I will refrain from analyzing it, because the last thing I want to do is ruin the fun and enjoyment of being creative. Of course, that leaves me with nothing more to say, since my orientation as artist and critic is toward learning and improving, technically (i.e. "practice and progress" as you so aptly coined it).
I give the kind of comments and critiques that I would like others to give me, though I realize we all have different needs and tastes. One man's bread is an other's poison. So, I understand and accept your reaction. At least I separate personal taste from technical matters to be objective about the latter, though that may be little consolation.
Sincerely sorry to have bothered you.

I do appreciate the input, from time to time... And I would never argue that your comments aren't insightful and helpful. But you were getting a little bit art teacher on me, and when I had to deal with them, I found them intolerable. I want to be "better" at what I do, but I don't think your goals are the same as mine. I "practice" quite a bit -- usually get 2 or 3 colored pencil figures drawn every day I'm not working on somebody else's artwork (commissioned). Some are better than others. And I do thank you for taking the time to look at my work!

Teachers, trainers, coaches, parents and every other kind of authority figure do as much good as bad for us. This is why I protected my writing at the beginning. It's probably why I didn't take my art ambition seriously until the second half of my life.
This is just to say that I understand what you're saying and have compassion for anyone who suffered trauma while learning, because that experience (high stress) damages our ability to handle frustration creatively and productively. It makes us shut down. It makes easy things seem difficult. It makes difficult things seem punishing, instead of challenging. It makes us regard feedback as failure.
If and when you want input, just ask. I be happy to analyze the work.

The most frustrating thing about being instructed in things which are mostly creative or artistic is the inconsistency. You can never find two instructors with the same values or opinions, so... where do they get off? It was worse with writing for me (because art teacher's were pretty much unanimous in disliking the way I worked); I don't know how the same writer can earn A+'s from one batch of instructors and C's and D's from another. The most practical advice I ever got from a writing teacher was to just try to sell my work, don't wait for someone to tell you you're ready, or it's good enough. Just do it. And really, this is pretty much what I learned from all the writing and art classes I took: no one can teach you how to do something new. You have to discover that for yourself. Yes. There are fundamental tools and techniques they can teach you, but the way the classes I took went, the teacher gives you a hammer and then tries to make every problem look like a nail. That's pretty much what I learned from writer's and artist's groups in the past too. You can use a formula or a method and perhaps wind up being well-paid for what you do, but I doubt very sincerely you can astonish anyone that way.
Not that I would in any way ever try to equate myself with greatness, or uniqueness, but I haven't seen or read yet the work that makes me think: that's exactly what I want to do, and how I want to do it.
I'm sure we will share many thoughts and opinions in the future!

I don't think so. I think imagination is more provocative than anything reality can provide, and hence we can always use our inner eye to make things better than they are.
