Title: Stroll on the beach (full frontal boobage)

I've never drawn a female really.
And all the ones I've tried in the past were very cartooney and mis proportioned.

No reference used, just sketched it out with my tablet.
Though I'm sure a reference would help for sure.

Anyways here's my stab at it, sorry for shitty backdrop but it was either that or blank.
If you want blank I can upload that for ya.

You could look at some pin-ups for reference  ::)

Wow really? Thanks for the obvious suggestion since I had said I could go find a reference in the first post.
And that of course it'd probably help with things such as proportions.

But just about anyone can draw with a reference, it was originally my goal to not use one.

c'mon dude no need for sarcasm.

I'm not really a fan of the broken outlines.
The palette could do with a little bit more contrast, give it a bit of energy.

also her breasts look like implants, I don't know if thats what your going for, I would definitely look up references or maybe get a live model  :P

I know.. I shouldn't be so rude.
I just woke up so was expecting a little more then just a "Look at a reference" comment.
Not really the most helpful of posts.

Yea some of the lines are still broken around.
The over zealous amount of pink under her boob has been bugging me.

And as for the boobs, I'm not sure if I'd find a reference picture of a naked chick turning a corner on roller skates...
Cause I'd need the reference boobs to be shifting slightly towards the turn due to momentum.

Edit: Feron thank you for the reference.
I'll take a look at it just from seeing it I see that her boob turns into shoulder.

Well in that i think you might need to modify her whole pose.  At the moment nothing about it conveys motion, except slightly skewed boobs.

As I had edited in my last post thank you for the reference.
It's pretty dead on for the wanted angle pretty much, very good for studying, and the nippley part just makes it better.  :y:

I had noticed in my old version her boob turned into shoulder.

I think the boobs need a... boobjob. And not the kind of boobjob that makes them bigger. They kind of look like dangly grandma boobs that have been filled with helium. I think it would help if they hung down a bit more naturally and were more attached looking at the bottom. Fineart.sk could probably lend you a little help as well.

Here's a quick edit I did, feel free to ignore all the anatomy changes I made except for the boobs (which aren't that great anyway, just a quick example). I was just dicking around and I don't think it's really correct at all. :-P

Thank you Pawige, that's just what I needed, I always draw my boobs to be so voluptuous that they look like tumors or balloons.
I actually think yours is cleaner then mine. Dx
Anyways I'll be sure to try and clean it up, quite iffy on her back leg and her feet.
Also not sure if the darker color is helping much here or not, may have to use more of it perhaps.

Ahh, yeah, I think that's looking lots better! The top of the boob on the right is bulging a little oddly, but other than that it's looking much more...boobastic? --titticular? Perhaps tilting her left (our right) skate more directly to the right side of the picture and putting it more under her as her center of gravity would help with the pose. If you look at the nipple girl a couple posts ago you can see that the skate her weight is on is almost directly under her.

Really good looking sprite. Very smooth at this point. My main gripe though, at this point is your selout. Its really not necessary for a sprite within a background. I've addressed that as well as some issues with smoothing out the shading a little bit.

I'm a more perky and petite boob kinda guy myself.

I know I should offer up something more insightful but the only thing I can think of is that her foreground foot should be placed more solidly on the ground but other than that "Hot!"

Looking good. I agree with the sentiments on the sel out: destroy.

The black pole is hurting composition a lot, imo.

Wow, I really want to draw the boy she's holding hands with.
