Anatomy Practice - Lariaku

Work done for *SoDesuKa's Art Practice Challenge.

I feel like my anatomy could STILL use some work after this.

I chose my character Lariaku as my anatomy character for this exercise, because I feel like she has the most realistic (fullest) anatomy of my characters. Except Lari is probably even more full-figured than the model referenced. And I hope the artwork reflects this. A little. Maybe?

Should I just give up and stick to drawing cats?! Oh no...

Two of these sketches are pencil on paper, scanned in. The other, I sketched and colored in Photoshop. I'd also tried inking it with the pen tool. But apparently the pen tool doesn't work like that? Or I just don't know how to properly utilize Photoshop tools. Either way, the loss of my pen tool line art is totally lame!
