NZ Matt I think in the first picture her belly button is to high and she is wearing her skirt in such a way that the hem line is level with her crotch. It makes it look as if her legs go on forever. Good pictures though non the less.

Not bad NZ- your lines and nice and 'manga-thin', which is good. Glad the book has been of some help!

Heh, I feel some crits are more due to my original drawing being off

I would have liked to have drawn a more typical female manga figure for the book, but there wasn't time, so just just stuck in a lady I drew for a commission a few years back when I was going through a long leg phase!

i dont know, but i suppose impression plays a forefront value rather than detail in some cases. sometimes it is more interesting to draw female legs longer than they should be, its more eyecatching, even though it might annoy you when you realize it. same things i've seen in "professional" manga pictures. long live long legs!

I'm not a legs man, I guess that makes me bias?

I write your initials on my arm. Didn't feel pain,but saw the harm. I miss you now, Rolling down my cheek a tear. I love you. Why can't you love me too? I blame myself for that. I love you... that's a fact. I LOVE YOU. I love you alot but I cry on the spot at the thought that you don't love me.
