My try at an small pixel work with only one ramp and few colors (6) in mspaint (palette was changed in photoshop afterwards):

(supposed to be a drop falling on a leaf)
Well the small palette is actually a bad excuse but whatever.

..now that I think of it I could have removed the white but well it was just a small thing done while being bored ;)

Sadly, that's probably one of my most anatomically correct people drawn without a reference.
Oh yes naked women are beautiful

It's incomplete and was drawn in haste. Thought I might as well post it while I'm blogging. Heh...

Yeah, there are some issues with the arms/hands, still being sorted out, it's a work in progress.

Here are some progress screens:

some sketches for monsters, mostly unfinished and hastily prepared so the scan isnt the best

stwel - i very much like the coloring, but the pse is very flat and dull.  Even just twisting the undrawn potions like the left arm and the legs so that they are more dynamic would be a real help for this piece.

sherm - have you tried blocking out proportions before drawing?  its one of the few formulaic teachings that has many more benefits than problems.  The design is pretty solid, but the anatomy needs work like you said.  Also, i wonder if a cleaner style of drawing would better suit your subject in this case (girls + smooth armor =/= roughness)

khor- i need to know a bit more about what is going on before i can really give any feedback on the second.  for the first, i would suggest putting much more color into the flesh.

loc - when i see the piece, i cant help but wonder if the environment says all that you need it to, without the people there.  they dont seem to add much to the piece, which is already very good.

robo - your nudes have a stylized deformity that is very pleasing in a sketch and detrimental in a study.  if these are for visual appeal, then great!  if these are for observation and learning.....try looking a bit harder, particularly at proportions (of the legs especially) and structure (of faces, ribs, and hips most).  There are some really important aspects that aren't really showing up in those two.

yeah I think it is.

Zach- That's an awesome pose.

Adarias - Well, my prof wanted us to do a self-portrait with a sheet covering part of us. It's supposed to have been a study of folds I think. This one was done quickly so there's a lot of work that needs to be done. I drew this in front of a mirror and I think the lightsource wasn't very good. I agree about the first one, right now, he looks more "white" than flesh color.
