Take care not to step on flowers...

Well, it looks like I'm repeating colors now, but that's okay. :-)
The drawing looks better in real life, my scanner didn't pick up a lot of the lighter shading on this one. :-(

Anyway, in this I used a technique I picked up from the ancient Greeks-- you can tease they viewer by making the clothing see-through enough to see the belly-button but not see-through enough to see anything else. :D

Hmm, and I love cirlces.

Very nice drawing. Everyone has said it already, but I'll say too that the folds of cloth are done really well. I like how the fabric has the look of being almost translucent in places. I totally see how you were getting her hip twisted forward; that's almost a bellydance move. The only place I find it awkward is her eyes. The left eye seems off somehow, and I'd like a little more of a hint of her face, her nose and chin. The fabric hugs her body so well everywhere else, it seems we'd see a bit more of her facial features. I love the composition here, how she's just off to the side. I love that the halo around her head echoes the roundness of the ground on which she walks. A lovely, well done drawing!
