Critiques please
It's very good so far!
Probably the only thing I'd do is straighten out the guitar neck. The guy could use a little beefing up, but then again, he could very well intentionally be slim. Other than that, good work. I'll look forward to what it'll look like in the end!
It rocks as a rough draft, I can see that everything will turn out great! The only thing i can see is the fingers stringing the bottom of the guitar are a bit off, the index finger is a bit fat where it bends, and the middle finger looks a bit wobbly. those are the only thing i can see in that rough, the rest looks fantastic!
Thanks. It is a little crooked isn't it? It's going to be a girl though...that's why she's so slender.
I think it looks great so far...
It's hard to tell without hair (and I'm not one you would probably want to take art advice from anyway ) but the forehead looks a bit wonky.

Great pose, great start, can't wait to see finished piece.
either than the neck of the guitar being crooked, not much to correct here, nice pose... gonna be a cool one. Though I have a question, is the bottom of the guitar, suppose to suggest the shape of her thighs?
I was using a reference where a girl was kind of cradling it against her body. I'll see if I can find the link. Perhaps I should have her thighs show a little on the outside of the guitar a bit, I am not sure.
Looking good other than the gutair neck.
Not knowing your process it looks like a real good start. The guitar neck of course would be straightened and perhaps the plucking fingers reviewed as you tweak it. I don't think that I would add any thigh. It seems to me like perspective-wise you wouldn't see them. But as it is your vision, take my suggestions with a grain of salt.
i know every one draws differently. and what works for me might not work for you.
with that in mind, it looks like you've kipped a few steps. what i mean by that is you don't have a skeletal sketch done prior to drawing the figure and the guitar. i typically have guide lines, boxes, and cylinders in place of the figure and objects so that i know how much depth there is as well as how everything is interacting with one another.
your ability to perceive and translate is very careful. You have a very good sense of direction. but i think that you need to build from the ground up and to start with a solid foundation.
Keep up the good work. we can all see that with will turn out to be a excellent drawing.
She may have deleted those guidelines prior to posting this... or it could be on another layer, which is how I like to sketch in Illustrator or Photoshop... I agree the guidelines help tremendously, but perhaps this could be placed into one of those programs if yer gonna correct any layout snafus...
I think that on the top hand you have the pinky and ring fingers waaaay too long (especially the pinky). And the ring finger on the bottom hand is bent kind of weird. I think the legs look awesome!
Thanks so much guys I really appreciate it. I'll fiddle around with it and post something maybe tomorrow or so.

A long over start to a drawing for a friend. I'd love if you guys could give me your opinions on this before I go any further.
