its nice :> erm... im a newbie, but where is the light source? is it multiple? cause the folds at the front of her skirt are kinda dark..

but its super stylish work :> it even reminds me of smooth-mesh rendering in 3d Very Happy

got that polygonal look in the arms and the muscles that accompany her bust...

Thanks for your comments.

UkiTakuMuki:
You re right, I should change the color of the folds

B0b:
Yes, I thought it's a good practice to learn it. And it s alot of fun.
What program would you use for this type?

Edit: And I do it in Illustrator because I want it as a vector.

Physically speaking her left breast is slightly large in respect to her current position. Hmm... Her left leg that isnt visible causes a bit of eye confusion.
Also should draw in her other other arm to make it a little more realistic.

Hi, thanks for your comment

How can I fix this eye confusing thing?
Should I add some shadowed areas between her legs?

Just noticed something else I missed on the first pass.
The place where leg meets abdomen need to be brought down and to the right that should help make her leg look a little bit correct also the confusion is being caused by the position of the knees and and the way that they are positioned at. Unless she attended to sit on something her rump or back portion of excuse my language "ass" needs to be slightly larger.
Its a bit too flat to appear correct in my opinion.
Thankyou for the time.
Sorry for the language.
