Judy Young - pencil shading

Something I did weeks ago. I wanted to submit it but I've been very busy. So I'd like to say that from now on I'll be submitting a sketch to my scrapbook every Tuesday (excluding next Tuesday). Nothing will be as special as this. In fact, I might even submit art I don't even like, but it's a scrapbook, so what d'ya expect...
More about this artwork: it's the very first time for me to pencil shade, and as you can see, I started with the simple front light position. It's still not exactly perfect, I could go on and on about shading bugs, and even posing bugs! I had a certain pose in mind, which was kept simple, of course, and that was the hip and shoulder angles. I did it while posing, then I forgot and drew a straight figure and hallway o through shading I remembered, so proportions may not seem right. At least that's how I remember it... Maybe it really was just me making a mistake and not realizing sooner but! The point is I really like this deviation, it's more anatomically correct than anything I've ever done, even if it's not perfect, and due to shading I've added a lot of details I don't usually add. I'm just bickering right now, ain't I? Well, I'll be back later to mention important facts, bio, and add that to groups. (If you like this, please recommend it to groups, I'm truly busy and I'm technically slacking off when I should study, so help would be really appreciated.)

Later: I confess, the bikini you see before you was inspired by "orihime_by_rssam000". OK so maybe I copied it, but the truth is that weeks ago I finished the girl, not the artwork, meaning I didn't dress her. I didn't want to draw any of the usual bikinis I usually drew, and I stumbled on that, so I used it. Pretty sure it's no big deal, but it's worth mentioning.

I also wanna mention that I don't now much about forearm muscle, so I used bamb78's stuff (hope I spelled it right) as reference.

I'll be back later for grouping and the bio, but much later.


IMPORTANT: sorry guys if I haven't thanked anyone for faves or watchers generally over the past couple months. It's not that I'm not thankful, it's just that I'm trying my best to be as socially active on DA as possible even though I'm really busy.
So to sum it up: THANK YOU ALL FOR FAVES AND WATCHES
