Detailed Sketch

Below are my comments on specific details.

This is one of my favorite body parts to draw - the shape of the thigh into calf - the bottom knee. (I point it out on other sketches here as well.) I think it's really nice here. Calves tend to be more dramatically thick and then narrow than you would guess.

This hand is awful. You can't judge the perspective, so it just looks like she has a short arm.

The main point of this drawing exercise for me was to show strong contrast between light and shadow. The model was very pale, but you still see a big difference on her torso, chest, and right leg, where the drawing shades are best.
