Wildfire sketch

Okay, my intention when I started sketching this was to submit it to the challenge "Unforgotten Past". However the pose got more and more complicated and in truth it doesn't have much to do with the original (except for the fact that she's naked). I'm not even sure if I still have the original.

Her hands and arms are the main concerns here. I absolutely abhor drawing that stretched-out hand, yet for some weird reason I've attempted it twice in the last week. Silly me.. But I suppose that's how you learn. I couldn't find any good references or tutorial on a pose like this (which is weird, I KNOW that they exist!)

Hopefully it shows that my grasp on anatomy has improved greatly after working with Treefox. At least it feels like it, it might not show much xD Except for those darn hands and the foreshortening!

C/C would be much appreciated (though I'd probably prefer 2,5 instead of 3)


(The Photoshop file was HUGE! Why in the world did I think I'd need to make it 4000x6000 pixels?! That's insane xD)

EDIT: Flipped the hand so she doesn't have two left hands xD Also, I changed the position on the left hand. It looks a bit more right now, no?

EDIT 2: Nevermind the critique, I started inking it. Though critique is always appreciated ^_^

I can sure see the growth!
great job. the face and pose are very nice
try flipping the thumb to the other side of the hand so its on the out side.. some times when i have a problem with things and cant find a good reference image, i get out a mirror and use my own hand or foot from the perspective i need. keep up the good work!

.... Oh my goodness, Silentleaf, you're right xD That's so silly! I started by drawing it in another postion, changed it but apparently I forgot to change the thumb along the way! But thanks. I think I'll try the mirror thing :)

Thank you Cometduster ^_^
