I have been busy, but I found a piece yesterday I have started last month(It is a guess).

Yesterday's version:


Today's:


Seems I must draw her hand again. It is just weird.
Feedback is always welcome.

Is she leaning against something? Her weight is really off.  Also, the forum has a zoom in feature so it's okay to post at 1x.

I actually just drew a random pose. So I don't know. If I had made a background, it would be easier to say.
That is because first I posted on another page.
I hate making same work twice.

No worries. Her hand does seem a bit misshapen, but I think part of that is because the shadows on it do not properly express if it is facing inward or outward.

She is also missing the back of her skull/has a pointed skull and her front foot doesn't clearly seem to be planted or extended. It is very difficult to tell what moment she has been caught in and how her body is supported (or if it is).

All of that said, the color palette appeals to me and I do think the front and back legs convey distance pretty well.

I erased half of the hair, because I don't like result. That would make the mostly faces weird.
The foot I would try to fix. There was other parts caught me.
Anyway a update

Better. I can now see the general shape of the skull in her hair, and tell that her left hand is facing inwards/downwards. That said, the outer part of that hand is too thick, it seems to be suggesting that her pinky is as thick as her wrist.

Oh, what is just shading, I guess. Probably a little difficult to draw something, what should be less than 1 pixel thick.

Changed her foot. But think the toes on it should be covered in shades.

it's definitely not badly pixeled.  In fact, with a little changes here and there would be quite good pixel tech wise.  But the pose is problematic.  There's just no way she could be in that position without leaning against something like a wall or pushing a big object for example.  Try doing it for yourself...You'd fall on yo' face son

I can, maybe I have a superhuman ability? I can see you mean, but I don't want to make a background.

I thought this might help you
And I am not saying that you are an idiot :P

I have the book, studying it and doing pencil drawings could help you improve ALOT!
