Hi, this is a rough sketch I’m working on. Critique or suggestions please?

edit: improved hand
i like it what did you use markers or ink?
I used photoshop. Still not used to a tablet so my line quality needs a lot of work.
What tool did you use to draw that? Just the paintbrush?
The default hard round brush
Look pretty good.
Lookin’ good! I really like how you drew her face and clothing here. Getting used to a tablet can be weird because there’s no resistance, but they’re awesome tools once you do get the hang of it.
IMO, only thing that really needs fixing in the pic is her left hand - something about tucking in one’s thumb while curling your fingers strikes me as awkward/uncomfortable. Maybe try drawing it with the fingers straight instead? Also something weird going on with the marks on the back of her palm.
Looking forward to seeing this finished.
dynamic pose, good use of perspective, wild ink. I like this. Alot!
I dig clean sketcherly stuff, esp if the lines are perfectly solid black…
Get colouring with that layer on Multiply.
Right on…like it so far.
I’d add more form to the back fist. Pull it out of her body a bit more and get some knuckll detail or something there… or some sort of dominant feature a fist has. I’d also pull out her rear foot into view…that knee in the back could be mistaken for part of her gi. Actually show both feet, cutting off at the ankle isn’t generally a good thing. You generally don’t want to cut off the body at any major joint, as it’s really jarring on the eyes(and especially in this case, the effects you have drawn, all direct your eyes at the foot area that isn’t there).
Don’t be afraid to let the scarf go wild…the foreshortening is good but you can push it’s silhouette to not only make it more interesting but to clear the edges that her hair make. Mak has very few design qualities that make her pop out from a distance, and her hair is one of those few things. Go for clarity. Maybe increase the specular highlight on her pupils as well…it will add a lot of life to her face.
Keep up the good work.
I like what I see so far especially the rough sketched look it has right now. Kind of gives it the feel of her 3s roots. The only thing I’d say is that her right hand would probably protrude a bit more from her torso, not too much, just a little bit more.
I agree with Indy. that right hand could stick out just a liiitle but more. either way, you’re golden
I like it. The only thing I’d say is to tilt her to the right a bit. She seems off balanced. Overall great sketch.

It’s a great picture; a couple of points though, the face could use some more shading just to highlight her usual scowl, perhaps adding a tiny crease on the bridge of her nose, define the chin a little more to get across the perspective more, and perhaps some work on her left leg, it’s a wee bit too wide in the thigh and there could do to be some folds where it connects with her form, otherwise it could look like she has padding under her gi.
Other than that it’s superb.
