I've had that small legs problem for a while. I used to show a drawing to my dad and he'd say 'it's really cool but...' and at that point I knew what was coming 'small legs'. I thought I'd gotten out of that trend, but apparently not.
And about the lips, I think you're confusing the lips with her cheekbone? I'm not sure, but I can't image anything else portruding a little bit much at the side of her face. And it could be that that's showing - never before have I drawn a clearly portruding cheekbone, whereas Ly has cheekbone in abundance. New skills must be acquired through stumbling!
And yes, I did have trouble with hands at first, but I just looked at my own hands loads and loads of times and drew hands many times until I got it right (that is to say, I drew hands as I was also drawing other characters). I've been really looking at lighting lately, how flares come up in the camera and what light looks like as it falls through surfaces and hits others. Hopefully I'll be able to draw something with that in mind at some point later on and show you.
Thanks for your thoughts!
