The more you learn about anatomy, the better your forms and shapes will be. Also, remember that the pelvis tilts down and the torso tilts up. I did a sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)

Thank you so much! Appreciate it! This will help my future works!
Hello! I am in need of some form critiquing. My main concern is the pelvis region with my female drawings, but if I could get some pointers overall, I would appreciate it! Thank you!

Okay, the way we see things is that the eye is attracted to the area of highest contrast.
In your image, my eye goes right to the cape, sleeves, knees and shoes. The face, clothes and skin are all too close in value, so they have no contrast.
You want people to see the most important things first, and with a character, that's the face. Then you want them to travel down the figure, taking in all the rest. We do this by distributing the contrast down the figure.
I did a quick example to show you how you can do this, I hope it helps :)
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it! Its basically the opposite of what I did, which is great to know. I will have an update soon. Thanks so much for all your help!
Hello! So i am very very much an amateur with color. So Im just starting with the basics. No color.
PLEASE fire away and give me any and all feedback pertaining to the use of my greyscale or whatever I am attempting to do here.
Thanks!
I am working on a female elf druid character concept. I would like feedback on design and anatomy. Anything else you see that you think could help, please mention!
Thank you for your time!

First of all, these are really cool and your iterations of the prompt you were given show that you are really thinking about the design.
Character design is all about ideas, but executing those ideas mean drawing. I did a sketch over your design and found that your figure was drawn very well, with good proportion and anatomy. Your perspective with the costume is good and things feel pretty dimensional for the most part.
Now, I know this is just a rough, but I had some things I thought would help. Know that these are pretty nitpicky things and will just help your drawing read a little better. I hope this helps :)
Thanks for the great feedback, Steve! I really appreciate it! Would you be able to provide further feedback with the newly attached picture? I could really use it with this new drawing!
Hello! I am currently working towards building a portfolio. I have asked friends to give me three prompts. The prompt below is a Female Elf-Druid. The friend who gave me this prompt is a huge World of Warcraft fan. So I took inspiration from there along with a few other pictures from the internet.
The red drawings are my preliminary sketches. Once I felt comfortable with the characters direction, I made 5 designs offering different styles in clothing with the blue drawings. I asked him to pick one of the 5 designs. He chose number 5 and then I drew another 2 different styles off that design.
The Bottom Left shows these designs. The left most design is a clean, cut design where maybe the Druid is from a well funded temple. The Right design is more of a 'woodsy, foresty' type design.
Please feel free to critique anything and everything you would like to critique! I would really appreciate it!
Furthermore, I plan to take any criticism given here and apply it to this piece as I continue it. I will post it again once I have reached the next steps with it.
Thank you!
