I feel like something is wrong with the arm/hand here, but for the life of me I can't figure out what. Does anyone have advice? Even if that advice is that I'm wrong and it's fine.
>>7951983 the proportions are fucked up, use a manequin / 3d model and compare (especially the relative sizes of head, arm, deltoids and trapezoid) the forearm should be mostly in the light, to be consistent with the rest of the image
>>7951983 proportions wrong (arm), anatomy wrong (scapula), composition bad (tangent), rendering wrong (inconsistent light confuses form) looks like you painted over ai slop
The arm is too short and thin. In that position her elbow should reach her waist. The forearm is way too short, the hand should almost reach her knees. This is more of a nitpick but the arms are too skinny compared to the rest of her body, I would make them a bit thicker.
Here is an example, though it is not the same angle, you can see that the end of the forearm is high enough to meet her navel. Her fingers can reach her knees.
Would anyone be willing to do a redline for the proportions? Or a basic sketch of a better angle/pose for a composition where the arms are more readable alongside the body silhouette?

I feel it should be bigger overall, I know there's a reason foids can't open jars or throw basketballs but their arms aren't THAT thin, they're like a third of their torso while you're at around a fifth
I just did a rough fix on the arm anatomy and tried to also fix the overall anatomy a bit. The elbow points at the camera, so don't be afraid to push the foreshortening and size up the arm and elbow a bit
>>7952200 I agree. I think her other arm might have to come out like pic related, but to do this I will have to change the whole anatomy balance a bit more. She's sitting too upright for her to lean back on her arm. This whole pose is off.
>>7952160 Yeah, but she doesn't need to be naked for you to see where her arms wind up. My point was that it's an easy thing to ask someone to sit for a moment while you figure something out.
Anyway, weird arm aside, your work's pretty great. Good luck with it.
