A nice firm attempt! Its promise that will time and effort you can become good at this. Next time go at it with more aggressive darks and just have fun with the medium. Charcoal will make rich deep blacks. Consider using a charcoal stick or even vine charcoal for larger shapes. Its a common early mistake to be too light.

While you have a nice sense of shape and are drawing some of hatching around the form, but the torso lacks the sense of anatomy even a very "soft" woman would have.

If I would error, its better to over define form and anatomy and soften everything out than to try and add form to something that doesn't have it.

http://www.amazon.com/Figure-Drawing-Invention-Michael-Hampton/dp/0615272819 I also heartily recommend this book to anybody serious about figure drawing. Mind you the book is targeted at the intermediate artist, which is really, figures are an intermediate to master level subject.

The reason is, even from direct reference, drawing people requires one to "construct" the figure so they can create the needed sense of presence and form a real person has. That book is probably one of the best I have on the topic (and I have like 30)

For subject matter in the future I would focus on working with reference that has a figure from head to toe so you can work in over all proportions. The REALLY rough and dirty is that a human is 7.5 "heads" tall, the crotch is near the 1/2 way point of the whole figure, and the hands should roughly match the size from chin to eyebrows. Elbows should match bottoms of the rips and wrists fall at the crotch when standing.

That and have at it. "Beating your head against the wall" aka doing a LOT of practice is the only way to improve. Thus don't overly invest in any one drawing, and make sure you have fun. Art is all about enjoying the journey not the end result.

I have a tablet but my light table is just a small portable one kind of like this ! ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KNHRH6/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1535523702&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B005OM0D9W&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=05WG1SDT378CQCK4YDAB ). Cleanness is also overrated , i love rough loose sketches ! those tend to be my fav :) !

Woah, this reminds me a lot of the artwork in Our Father's Godsaga. Especially the awesome picture of Fenrir.

Great picture! Thanks!

If you can afford to purchase one, get a copy of Bridgman's Anatomy book. Try abebooks.com for a used one (it's 350 pages or so, make sure you get the big book).

Get yourself some tracing paper, too, and trace the book 2-3 times. You'll see solutions to anatomy and plane problems a lot easier once your hand/brain connection (from all the tracing) has been trained a bit more. Tracing helps a ton.

In terms of the 3rd and 4th drawings, remember that sometimes, less is more.

Keep up the great work!

Most of what I know I have learned through trial and error. The class I am currently taking is my first and it focuses on basics (which has nothing to do with digital art unfortunately - I was hoping it would /sadface )

I do use a tablet. The program is PS CS6 (student edition is cheaper - or buying it from a friend who never openned theirs). I don't know if there are any classes that teach digital art (though there are a ton of books) but I know there are a lot of ambitious youtube artists that put in time teaching tips and tricks. Kienan Lafferty is one I watch a lot. I also tune into Dave Rapoza and Anthony Jones's livestreams.

Thank you so much :D

this covers the difference between male and female facial features briefly, but well. You can get it anywhere (used in most cases) and it's got a lot of other good info in it.

The nose is really the only critique I have about the drawing, overall it looks phenomenal.

Also, if you want to continue with skeleton studies, you should totally check out this book! It's a standard for many osteologists.
