No criticism or suggestions for this one. All I have to say is I'm glad to see a new batch of sketches from you.
Oh, and on the necks, I think that's just a tendancy due to my "aesthetic sensibilities" if you want to get wordy about it, but honestly, I've always wondered some why great drawers of the female form keep necks fairly short. I over do it, to be fair, but a long neck is a very femine feature imo. I hope to get better command of it in the future.
Despite my current aversion to drawing long and slender necks, I do agree with you that they are a very feminine feature. I did, at one time, draw in a style roughly similar to yours where I would exaggerate the length and thickness of the neck and then put wildly oversized heads on top of them. It was, however, much more cartoonish than your style.
Not only do many of the famous "girly picture" artists draw short necks but they tend to make the head size just slightly smaller than it should be. I'm thinking of George Petty, in particular. And, if you've never heard of the man, you may find it interesting that a lot of the stylistically "robust" anatomy that shows up in your work can probably be traced directly to Mr. Petty.
