Nice work, Cloudcoole! The color scheme and pose is very Pearl: you've done her justice and captured her grace!

Gorgeous figure drawing, Nadia! I really love the perspective on this piece: I can see her in the room, and the depiction of her and the background matchup. It's incredible that you worked on this from memory; kudos on that!

The only things I would say about the anatomy are that her waist (on the right: where the lifted leg should bunch up that area) and the right side of her bottom (saying that word makes me feel 60) feel a tad unnatural.

For her backside, the closest reference I could find is from good ol' senshistock: http://senshistock.deviantart.com/art/Stepping-Up-Back-Pose-Reference-for-Drawing-527329419 . I couldn't find one at an angle, but the droop on lower right of her butt cheek looks a tad exaggerated//stretched out when you compare it to the left.

Her waist right now is a shaded edge against her hip, and our bodies are much more likely to have that area smoothed out or folded over, depending on our size. I couldn't find a sfw reference of a woman of her stature bending over (no surprise), but here's what I could come up with from my head on short notice: (WARNING: this has as much nudity as the image I'm commenting on!) http://i.imgur.com/AlJSuuX.png . In that sketch, I have her waist and hip connected by smooth curves that I would shade about the same, and the bend isn't as severe.

I haven't seen your reference photo though! All bodies are different, and the above is just my experience with figure drawing. In any case, this is a great piece, and, if I did that from memory in pixels, I would be very pleased with myself! Great job, and I hope you do more figure drawings!

Hah: I clicked on this as soon as possible because I thought it was Syosa's art! Amazing job, Lakelezz!
