well here's my latest project, i wont get another chance to work on it for a couple days seeing as i have some exams to write, but this is what i have so far. Ive been working from an image, i only have a side profile since i didnt draw it myself, and i like the way its turned out so far from the side, but it doesnt look quite right when you look at it from the front, i know somethings wrong but i dont know how to fix it, i believe the hips are too wide but narrowing them make the legs look odd.

I don't think you need to worry to much about the shape, remember most girlies are wider at the hips. Have a look at some anatomical images of naked women (put ya tongue back in not porn).

I think all you need to do is think curves, just shape those hips a tiny bit so they are not quite so abrupt.

Tickety boo and ta ta for a bit...

less study more modeling I say ...this is a very good start to what could be a great finished model.
I think if the legs were little less wide then you could narrow the hips slightly if you wanted.
