Sup’ I’m Cas, I’m really glad to see that ya’ll help artists to improve. Anyway, I’ve tried so many times to sketch the pose of my wind fairy Kelani. I’ve focused on the Breast, Hands, Legs and the Shading, as you can see, I failed. My friend gave me advice via Skype about the feet and the legs. But I see, the legs anatomy is incorrect (especially the left one), so could you help out with this, please? Oh, and I totally forgot to draw the fingers on the right hand. I was so frustrated oof Another friend helped me with the breast shape of Kelani. (In the beginning they were a bit deeper) Also I don’t know how to draw clothes right. For example, how artists draw wrinkles. My biggest Problem is the Shading. I don’t know where to Shade. I just hear artists say “Idk, I’m just trying” yeah I see, but pws, Cas needs to know your little artists secrets. You could ignore the diamond shaped wings there, if you want to. I’ll still have to figure this one out.

Hi Cas! Thanks for your submission and this super cute fairy character! As you can see from the above redline, your proportions are pretty solid! The main thing keeping your anatomy from looking “correct” is the wobbly line weight. It makes it seem as if the legs and arms are very lumpy, when in fact they should have very smooth curves. You can consider drawing this out on paper first before scanning it (or using a phone scanner app like CamScanner) and drawing on top of that sketch digitally. 

Some other things that might help: 

Dynamic posing can help your drawing and anatomy not look so wonky or stiff! Since both of her arms were bent and both of her legs were bent, she looked a little uncomfortable. When a person is being suspended in the air, usually one, or both, of their legs will extend to balance out their weight. This is a helpful tip for regular poses as well, though! 

Shading can be hard on a complicated form like the human body. The first thing to do here is to identify the light source, and start blocking in shadows that are directly opposite the light.I like to avoid placing the light source directly above the person unless the scene is super dramatic. Upper left or right will work just fine! 

Creases or folds will appear on fabric wherever there is tension (pulling, stretching, folding, etc.) Thinner clothing will create many many smaller folds, whereas thicker clothing will create fewer, larger folds in comparison. Her skirt looked like a thick fabric, like denim, so I treated it as such. Mix and matching different cloths can give the character more life!
