Spider-Woman pin up - revised

Wow. Very nice. I've always found Spider Woman to be one of the sexier Avengers, and you've captured that pretty blatantly. Nice contours on the back, and the little dimples on her back are adorable if not a liiiiiittle too low.

I would say you have some work to do with your hands. Her fingers look a little too long and slender, and the turn of the wrist especially on her left hand (and that thumb) look forced. This is Spider Woman with broken hands. Unfortunately, the hand is one of the most complex parts of the human body to render, so there is no shame in needing a little extra practice to get them right. I would just suggest some more practice on your part.

Her legs are also a bit awkward in this pose. Not the stance, I'm perfectly okay and all aboard with the spread positioning, it's just we can't see her lower legs, and it gives the impression of her being an amputee. I know all too well from my own work the point where a figure's position makes them look automatically weird, such as (in this case) if Spider Woman's lower legs might naturally fall in line with her thighs/stomach and hide them from the viewer. As the artist, however, it's your job to turn her legs a little bit so that we can at least get the impression that she doesn't end at the knee. That's artistic license, and it makes a piece look better.

My last word of critique has to do with her face, but before I get into that let me say you drew a VERY nice mouth on her. I personally have some trouble with lips, but you got their shading spot on. The right corner of her mouth looks like it's melting down her cheek a little, though. Also, her chin line is too angular. It should curve up gracefully to meet the bottom of the ear, which should be higher and closer to her eyes. Marginally.

Take all of this in while knowing that this is a great piece, though. Your idea, your technique, your tools are all being utilized very well, and all you have to do is keep drawing. I'm looking forward to more Spider Woman pictures <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)" />
