Hey Metalman, nice sketch
I think the lower half of her body looks fine (crazy footwear tho )
I hate to say this 9cos it's such a good sketch and all) but I reckon there's something not quite right with her top half. Okay here goes - there's a problem with the left half of her body. Maybe the shoulder needs to be defined a bit more or maybe her left arm comes across too much (I just can't put my finger on it).
Oh and I think her breast should be a bit smaller (but that's all down to style isn't it).

Ok after I stared along time on it. I think I know what's wrong with the upper part.
The breast indicates that we see the torso from the site but from a site view the arm connects at the end. But the rest of the pose indicates that we see the torso more from behind and then would the breast be more hidden from us (even at this size ).
Well, I guess your best try to correct this is looking for photos with a similar pose. Also drawing a line in, that shows where the spine is, could help showing how much the torso is turned.
but its still a great pic and it would make a great piece for Inking practice and coloring for others.

I think part of the reason it looks a bit awkward is because you've posed her in a bit of an awkward position - she might well overbalance sitting like that, she's a bit precarious. I certainly don't think she could sit like that for any long stretch of time!
Otherwise, I think she's very good - though, bear in mind the other crits people have given to her upper half - cute face and hairstyle, methinks!

Cool sketch metalman! At first glance I couldn't see any problems, but I think it's her shoulder that needs to stick out more. At the moment her back just seem to jut out half way down (where her book is), so it looks as thought there's an indent where her shoulder blades should be. Nice little pose though, if you could fix it up, it'd be great ^_^

hehe, her lower body (apart from the shoes) reminds me of Lara Croft Very nice sketch, clean too. My sketches are always terribly smudged XO I agree with the c&c that has already been given, although I must say I didn't notice anything wrong before reading the c&c XD

Hey this is my first post wow! anyway, I still can't see what's wrong... oh man I'm gonna stay at this level forever! dang! Well, I love that pic! It is a pic that is fun to look at and it is drawn well too. sob I whish I could progress to that level.
Um... I tried drawing that character you did and it came out okay I guess and I even kept everything they say was wrong. (sob I don't see it.)Would you mind if I posted my pic on my website if I gave the link to the original pic done by you? just wondering. I didn't want you to find out and get mad or anything so just tell me yes if I do so and so or no.
