I bought a lot of design books ))) In particular, two are for typography (because I seemed to have a penchant for doing bad typo that I'm caught redoing the assignments for it *sigh*)

I ate lots of food. And is now quite jelak of Chinese food. (I'm sorry, I can eat bread and the likes for a month and

Congrats on the interview~ XD

About the drawing, the cloth is fine, but the right leg, finish it off until it goes offscreen like the rest of her body. About the finishing behind that leg... biarkan lar >___>;;;

Thanks *^___^*

The right leg - is the one where she bend it? o_O but that end of her leg's already hit the paper's edge, hence that somewhat abrupt end....
(unless you mean the other one that's 'missing' from this drawing...that part's also hit the paper's edge, and in the ref it ended halfway the thigh =w=;;;)

So how...? (what about reducing that portion of the visible leg by fading it off before hitting the paper's edge? Will that work?)

Whoa, congrats on the interview! Ask her when she sent it?It takes roughly 2 weeks (maybe more since it's CNY) for air mail to arrive, it'll take more than one month if she sent it via ship (I understand it's much cheaper...).

As for the drawing, yeah, the black patch on her leg is jarring, but yanno, I thought it was her body shadow until you explained about the bag. I'd just continue the black shadow up her thigh to her body (be careful not to cover the white highlight on the thigh). You could try making it thinner, too, if possible.
(The cloth is no prob. Like you said, you wanted to focus on the figure)

Actually I think it's a really nice pic.

She said she posted both copies in a single envelope, and is as registered airmail, even. She used to have the tracking number but is now lost, coz she thought I had received it - but when I told her no I hadn't, she was surprised because if registered airmail can't reach the recipient, they'll go back to the original sender, right?
(ehto, she mailed it last year sometime in November, so even by the latest, I should receive it sometime by December but nuh uh, I've not seen it until February today T--T) She'll try to get a few more copies for me when she visits the uni sometime soon :)

Black shadow until the body but gradually thinning (and without going over the highlight on the thighs) - ok, I'll try this, and post the updated version soon :) Thanks for the advice, appreciated it! ^______^

Gonna do a better one next round~ :D

Even registered mail can go missing ^^; Looks like that's what happened, since that's a **really** long time.

Your artwork keeps getting better, keep it up! *thumbs up ^_~
