Hello! I was looking for some critique on this picture I drew. I would appreciate any help. I am totally okay with drawing lines and arrows etc on top of my picture.
Some notes:
1. It is light, sorry! The whole thing is in pencil so that I can change it.
2. Her hair is supposed to be defying gravity, so I guess focus on other things.
3. My two biggest concerns are the anatomy of her body (I am using references, but it is still challenging) and folds in clothing. However, if you see something else totally wrong, please let me know!!!
Here is the picture!
(Spoilered bc it stretched the page a little.)

Thank you so much
Do you mind if I add some critique? I can't say I'm the best artist on the forums, but I am willing to help
(Also ohmygod I love helping people draw 0u0)
So! Overall this is quite good, the pose looks pretty natural. Also her feet are badassly awesome AND at the right angle! *is jealous*
\
There are some errors though. Her face is a bit off center. If she's turing her head, which I assume she is, her chin should be further to the right. I suggest drawing a flattish circle showing the way she's facing and then base the positioning of the back of the head off of that. (jeez, I might have to post a pic or two later) You might have to draw some light lines over her hair for that. Also, regarding the face: i could post a few angles of noses you could try referencing, since hers seems to be a side view. Noses are hard as hell to draw and I might be able to give you a hand. One little tip on her lips: drawing an upward-curving line beneath her lower lip suggests that her lip is... how the hell do I phrase this? Like it's sorta... floppy. took me a while to catch on to that on my own. Lips sorta have an upward angled slope which makes them bluh bluh this makes no sense. I'll demonstrate in a pic later, but basically they should have a little shading beneath them because of the shape of the space between the chin and lower lip. You do have a good sense of the angle her face is at though.
Personally I think the body anatomy is good, especially her waist and hips.
However: Her shoulders are a bit small, try making them wider. I like the way they're shaped though.
Also: Bracket boobs! i noticed her breasts are sort of like those square brackets. I'd suggest you draw two circles on her chest the approximate size of her boobs and then add shirt-wrinkling and details over them, with a little shaping. And overall, the proportions on her torso are good, but it's a slight bit narrow. keep her hips the same, but make her upper torso a little bigger and redraw her waist to look proportionate.
Arms: Her arm lengths don't match. try drawing a line across her waist as a guide to place her elbows. Trust me, this is really useful lol. The right lower arm is a good length, though it should be higher up, but you should shorten the left one a bit, as well as evening out both the elbows and moving them higher.
On clothing: Around the bottom of her shirt on the left edge- is there a cami underneath? hard to tell without shading heheh.
Overall shape of the legs is great, so don't change it, but make the front of the left pants leg more of a straight line. Since her leg's outstretched, her pants leg should be falling against her leg, especially if they've got roomy legs like these. You might wanna add some small wrinkles around her knees too.
I really like the folds on the legs though
And that's about all I can do at the moment. I tried to be as thorough as possible. Also, i apologize for the impromptu drawing lesson! I can't help doing that when I critique things, so if i irks you please disregard it. Anyways, I really hope this helps!
hopefully I can post a few pictures later today, too! *E----xcited*
EDIT!! pictures, in spoiler because three is totally the most secretive number and totally not cause these pictures are huge. totally.
hope these work

Thank you so much
Okay, so I had this enormous and totally helpful critique that literally took me an hour and I deleted it. Nice move, me. anyways, i dont have time left before school, so I will just start now and finish it later. Hope you understand.
SO! Number two. I hope you don't mind accidental giving of drawing lessons, I tend to do that without thinking.
The overall anatomy is good, the pose looks quite natural. I like her waist and hips. Also, her shoulders are good and i like the shape of the upper arms. Just for the record her feet are like wow wow wow lovely. dem feet.
Okay, I'll start with the anatomy from her head down but later, i gotta go to school now. BLUH. edits coming later! stay tuned.
sorry i failed lol.

Reason: i cannot brain i has the dumb
Thank you so much!!!! And somehow the critique WAS saved, so I go to read it! If you could post some pictures, that would be helpful too, but otherwise I really appreciate the amount of time and detail you went into. I wasn't expecting such a detailed, helpful response!!!!!!!
Manson Samuel, MAYOR EXTRAORDINAIRE! And also kinda looks like a child molester. But he's not.
Anyway, I'd just like to thank everyone for putting up with me. I realize that my art isn't very good, and there probably isn't a soul here that would rather see it than not, but for me just getting some of it out there is very important. I guess pretty much my whole drive for learning how to draw is so that someday, someone will look at what I've made and enjoy it. To make someone happy for a few seconds, and think, "That's pretty cool." And until now, I haven't been able to draw worth a darn- I realize now that it's because I never actually tried. I just assumed that everyone that could draw well were that way naturally, I guess- but just two months ago I tried again, and realized, "Hey, I can actually sorta draw!" And I've been improving since.
And of course, now I'm rambling. Feel free to criticize, of course, if you see something more wrong than, well, everything else.
Experimenting. Sketched Susumu Hirasawa and Jun Togawa since I love them and know how to draw them well enough that I can use them to test different styles.
I ship them like a madman.

Reason: page stretch
Ed, that first one is really cute. And creepy, because to my untrained eye that rolling pen looks like a bloodstained bonesaw. The second garners no comment.
Lennon, I have no idea who either of those are, but I laughed at "Meanwhile in the nineties" more than I probably should have.
Here, have a few more pointless 5 minute doodles. Eye protection is highly suggested. :P
The last one was me experimenting with more gradients and the smudge tool.
[10:12:13 PM] S: Your balls seem to be smiling at me.
[10:12:42 PM] GF: They laugh at you.
[10:13:30 PM] S: If I had the time, I'd take a picture of my balls
[10:14:04 PM] S: But setting up the camera a block away is a lot of work just to get a closeup of them
[10:15:19 PM] S: Do you know any astronauts in space at the moment?
[10:15:26 PM] S: I could run outside and let them snap a picture from the shuttle window
[10:15:59 PM] GF: I'm pretty sure an electron microscope would get a better picture of them.
[10:16:09 PM] S: The upside to fractal testicles.
