Yes. srs bsnss

Only Yes or No?

There's room for improvement, but I don't hate it.

Uh
Yeah
You know, if you're not even going to try, then why do we need to see it? This is decent, but you could seriously improve. Make the fucking effort, man.

Even try? This felt difficult for me. Thanks for the quality criticism.

This doesn't look bad at all, but its not very good either.

Lets start with arm since its first thing that caught my eye, the lower part of arm (part after elbow) must be atleast by 2/3 longer then the upper part of arm to achieve proportionate / realistic look.

Then there are boobies which are okay, but need to be placed little lower on the torso
(little to the right on the picture)

The ear, damn that ear is very nicely drawn but its not on correct spot I'm afraid. It should be (on the drawing position) little down right.

The hair looks alright but it could be better since it looks like a wig at the moment, so try making it go around a little. Like making few hairs drop on the other side and all that. I have long hair so I know how its annoying to keep it one place

Here is the lower part of torso which could use some better curves to achieve realistic look on the stomach part and the ribs to make the body more of a female.

I apologize for the criticism if you didn't wanted it. But its a small punishment for almost breaking my neck to see the picture vertically.

It was meant to be placed horizontally. I know the ear, it looks funny.
Thanks for the Constructive criticism. It actually helps to make a better artist rather than what Sammy had to say.

I based my comment on the title that you added to the picture; "I'm lazy and it's hard". That's no excuse. If you're gonna do it, then you have to do it well. There are many, many artists on these forums that you can ask if you need guidance; I myself am taking a degree in Progressive Sculpture Technique, and, although I'm not the best at drawing, I can safely say that it takes years to get to a level that's even approaching good. If you need help or criticism, then just ask. For instance, this picture; it is decent, as I said before, but you seriously need to do some work. Try making some studies in human body shape, because I for one don't remember Chell's torso looking like a piece of pitta bread. Sit down for a bit and really look at how the shape of the body works; the places that things sit in, the way that hair falls around the face, the shape of an arm. If you need to, then spend a good long time drawing out one section over and over until it looks natural. Only through practice will come perfection, so make the effort now, because it'll sure as hell pay off later. The comment you made is the embodiment of a bad artist's ethos, and bear in mind that you are by no means a bad artist, but working with that kind of a mindset will only end in tears and a stagnated style. If you need to edit stuff to improve it, then you should. If you make a mistake, then correct it and make a note of what you did wrong for future reference. The best drawings take weeks, months, years of constant editing and improving, until the finished product is as good as it can be. Now go forth and create.
