It's been 2 hours and the bus hasn't came yet D:

I just wanted to experiment a bit with drawing unique styles of clothing. The arm to the left looks kind of funky but I can't seem to find the problem. Anyways, C&C is greatly appreciated. Thanks ^^

*nods* Yes! I can see it now! ^^ And hnnn... The arm on the left... Maybe it's because it's too far out? The elbow should be more towards her body, not away from it.

I think the left thumb should move to the right a little bit.

i think that the arms should both be wrapped around her legs or both behind her. choose. it looks odd with one each.

I don't agree with the previous commentor; her suggestions are cliche`, and I prefer your pose.
Critique first. It is possible to get your arm into the position she has it; however it's a bit stiff and unnatural. Try making the upper arm a little close to the body, and/or have the forearm coming forward towards the viewer and across the legs, instead of just strait across the legs.
Her right hand should be more relaxed (thumb not gripping ground), because afterall, she's been sitting there for two hours. The pinky is a little too long and should be hidden a bit more. Also, the lacing on that arm isn't placed in the right spot to be on top of her arm; it should be shifted back a bit.
Her left isn't curving around her arm correctly; an arm coming forward. Also, the guitar strap is curving across the body properly; you should be using it to sudgest to shape and weight of the spots it moves over. The top of the strap shouldn't be floating above the body like that, but firmly resting on it. Her goggles are also crushing her bunny bangs.
The biggest problem with this drawing is the coloring. It looks washed out and rough, and it flattens and kills the drawing rather than giving it life. Don't use just a single color pencil for a section adn then go about it as if you were shading with a normal pencil; it's a far different medium. The more colors you mix, the more alive it becomes. Get some artist quality colored pencils if you intend to do more colored pencil works; it's totally worth it.

Now, good stuff. The outfit is very cool, and it uses unconvential colors and still managed to to look whole. I'm really intrested in the buttons on her guitar strap; I wish I could see exactly whats on them because they look cool.
What I like the most is that it appears as though you chose to draw an extremely challenging pose for your skill level. Hell yeah, you go girl! Every drawing you do should be a challenge, and it's inspiring to see an artist of your level pushing herself when they're are so many high level artist that simply keep to what they know, and then just bask in the waterfall of compliments that come from their half-assed work. You rock my world, keep at it.
