I drew this while on vacation. It's more like a second attempt at drawing a character in an actual pose. So, take a crack at it...within reason that is. Raspberry!

Heh Setu, every time you draw a picture it gets better than your last attempt. There's only
a few things in this one which need improvement. Here's some tips:

1) His arms are a bit too short. His elbow should go to his waist level, and his fingertips
should reach roughly halfway between his hips and knees.

2) The armguards he's wearing don't look like they're actually wrapping around his arm.
If you make it so they're slightly past the outline of his forearm/upper arm, it'll give
the illusion that it's actually wrapping around his arm.

3) The way his left leg is positioned looks a bit...weird. I think it's because his leg is
so thick at the knee, but I'm not too sure. Same with his right knee. It's a tad too
thick.

4) Finally, his right boot. It's on a funny angle compared to the front of his knee. If
the back of his boot was vertical, it'd probably look better.

5) Finally, his ear is too high. An ear is positioned so that the top of it lines up with
the top of his eye, and the bottom is in line with his mouth (Or at least the bottom
of his nose).

Other than that, I like it. I like the costume he's wearing, especially the spiky
armguards

His foot's pretty ridiculous looking, and his leg's really awkwardly shaped underneath him. Kind of like a sack of potatoes. Is he supposed to have a starfish for a chest? It's not really a bad drawing, but a lot of things really irk me about it.

Hmmm... That looks simular to something I've seen Sparrowhawk do before. The faces look alike.

Oops.. going off-topic! (Shame on you Orion!!!)

Anyway... I agree with SA, although you've gotten WAY better, there are still things you need to work on. Like, how clothes hang off a person's body(I'm looking at the tunic skirt. There aren't any wrinkles!)

Keep plugging away Setu! I would like to see more art from you!

Ah, I've figured out what bothers me about the chest! Break up the lines a bit, so they're not all connected. Like, go where they connect and switch angles, and just erase maybe an 1/8th of an inch or so, and that'd break it up, and make it not look like one big starfish shaped bone.
