Wow, I haven't done an oekaki in years! And it would seem I haven't colored in months either.
Anyhoo, for those that don't know. Tis Cassandra Cain (Batgirl) and Stephanie Brown (Spoiler and once Robin). I wanted to work on profiles, and wanted to draw them differently. Not sure I succeeded. They look the same except for different coloring,

Help on the sketch... hm. Well, for the shoulders, one of them is closer to her body, leaving the other side looking broader and the angles of the lines connecting shoulder to neck different. It looks like you want her right arm (on our left) to look like it's behind her as arms swing when walking. You'll want to nix that line from the inside bicep towards the shoulder and put the torso in front, using a single line to create the armpit rather than the multiple ones there now. I also think having the arm a little closer to the body would look more natural; the hand should be right next to the hip, or you can partially obscure it behind the hip if you don't want to redraw it (dunno what to say about avoiding a redraw of that beautiful fabric though >.< do you have any tracing paper?). Bending the elbow more to accommodate this different hand position would also help the bone structure there. The arm is a bit stiff-looking as is because it’s extended straight out ( ... )

Thank you so much for the help though! I don't know if I got all that but when I go back to working on it, I'll get back to you with questions. I think for now, this helps though. :)
As for Steph's hair, her hair's kinda wild too. All artists tend to draw her hair as having a life of its own. LOL, (just like the cape!) so I tried to convey that here. She's a wild child, but a pretty one, so I didn't want to go for entirely realistic hair. I don't normally draw hair like that anyways, but yeah, I wanted it to look uneven, curled and uh...alive. XD Sorry 'bout that. ^^;
But thank you so much! ^o^ Dunno when I'll get back to it (dumb artist block) but I'll keep ya updated. :)

For my own curiosity (and mental sanity), I happen to have a Wacom GT me too: how the Hell did you Cass's hair? It's amazing!
