[Candra H]

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. Very much appreciated, especially this -

This is dam cool , your doing one of my most favorite girls , I love Lara , I have always played all the games, she is that bestest and when they bought Angie in to play her, well theres really no substitute in my eyes ... your take on her is sheer hot ....I apreiate this on all levels !!

I'm chuffed to bits you like my take on her, lovin' art. If fans of this character are satisfied then I'm a happy chappy

Just about to upload what I thought was the finished version when I noticed I still need to do more shading work on her right arm. Damn! I'll post it anyway, let you guys see the nearly finished drawing. Just that last bit of tweaking and it's done, finally!

Been a long slog this one. I'd also like to say a big thank you to everyone who posted comments, suggestions and encouragement in this thread. It wouldnt be the same drawing without you, and I've learned a lot. Thank you!

P.S. I tried to fix those trigger fingers, Hans. Not sure if I got them right but if there's no ref pic getting in the way, they might look more believable...

This is looking really good. You're right about the fingers. The one on the right looks broken. Might want to lift some of the shading from around the top knuckle to straighten it out some.

Good job, it might just be me. But the right gun...
I'm having serious trouble on fixation on the angle and direction.
If you know what I mean =)

I'm having serious trouble on fixation on the angle and direction.

The angle of the Gun is within the right placement of how her arms are folded as to how the gun would sit resting on her , it is slightly raised and correct

Candra , what a fab effort here , be proud of this its wonderful !! Im glad I got to see it !!

[MySjostrandArt]

I feel that the right gun on the picture is show to much of the top=) Maybe I'm wrong

[MySjostrandArt]

In the ref u dont see the top of the right gun only a highlighted rim of the upper side part=) I hope it helps

Vey nice job Candra! I think you can definitely be proud of this one..

[Candra H]

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you all like it and yup, I am pretty proud of my efforts on this one. The feedback in here and the experience I gained working on this drawing has definitely boosted my confidence for my next project, so thanks again for all the comments and advice. Its been invaluable

A quick note on the right finger and gun. They were definitely a bit off so I did some final fiddling and think I managed to get them looking better. I'll post the final picture below so people can see the difference. I'm not going to do any more to this drawing. I think if I did, I'd start overworking it and might lose what I've got at the moment.

[Candra H]

So here is the finished picture. I hope this thread has been useful to others out there. I've certainly learned a lot. On to the next project...
