Thank you! AHAHA and yeah, you're TOTALLY right. I need to stop ignoring obvious proportional flaws like that, because I really want to do more accurate, "feely" work. Thank you for pointing it out, in my doodles lately I've been much more careful about it! c:

Ahh thank you! Ahahahhaa yeah I "get down" to most basic art principles, TBH. I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but there's definitely some tips I could give you depending on what specifically you want. :O There are different things I think about in regard to tonal breakup over the page, or simply rendering in general.

Got two things tonight!

Some unfinished orc chicks I was dabbling on for a while.

And a self portrait. c:
I'm actually really proud of the progress I'm making! I'm hitting a lot of the points I've been trying to focus on. I can make bodies fit in space better. I can even compare different heights in space! I need to work a little more on maintaining eyeline, that's been an issue. >O< (I should get on environments, in general.)
But hugely, my proportional sensitivity is WAY greater!!! I always try to draw even from life and photos in a way that it is to the degree I understand putting in forms/rendering, with the aid of the detail of life. I try not to draw in a way like copying shapes/angles so I wouldn't be able to do it at all later, since that's a big problem I had with drawing before starting college.
Anyway, I've always had just these awful proportions, they've really been bothering me lately. Facial and head-to-body ratios akin to teenagers, no matter who I was drawing. I think that looks really gross. I remember last summer was the first time I actually drew a face that looked like an actual person instead of a super cartoon character (from reference) so I'm pretty stoked about how my self portrait turned out today! I always draw straight ahead, and there were no proportional issues from the get-go. c:
