Hello hello!! So basically, I have always struggled with drawing. Especially with women, or perhaps it's better to say more feminine faces? Oh also, blood trigger warning for the second image!!
Here's the OC I drew back in, oh, September?
I had many unsatisfactory issues with it, but majorly, she didn't come off as female? I mean, people have seen my art on many boards/in my journal/etc. and very few people regarded her as well, her. I got many comments of "man/boy/he/him/etc." and I was a bit disappointed—not in the fact that she didn't look traditionally female, but I did try to tip off that she was.
In any case, my apologies for the rambling, I redrew her this afternoon and I can't say I'm any happier?
I've been told multiple times that I need to make my women more feminine hah, so that's what I came here for! I was looking for some tips/etc. to help me improve on making characters look more feminine. However I would like to make a point that her nose shape and slim face are deliberate. I hope it's not too much to ask but anything from tips to critiques and comments are helpful!!
