proportion seems to be my greatest adversary right now. My skills are still pretty close to novice, but i have been taking your advice scorcher and am currently improving my technique. I really appreciate all your support and advice. :D thank you

Good, yeah i support Scorcher, but her name, HMMMM -_-? I KNOW- Ambelina, i luv that name!

It's a very nice start. A couple edits here and there, like the size/position of her head and eyes and erase a couple of unnecessary lines and it'll be perfect. Not that I'm saying it's bad. that's really great. I'm just giving a couple of tips for your next piece. oh yeah, I think her name should be....Muriel or Catheran. Something simple that sounds kind.
