I thought they almost looked too high but that could be because I have drawn her torso too long.
I see what you mean about the way the fabric stretches.
There is only one solution more research.

If you want to draw people you should study anatomy
actually people say if you want to draw anything you should study anatomy. fuckin' anatomy.
and no, looking at busty ladies doesn't count :(

I had to look at a lot of busty ladies to
draw the pictures in my profile :D

You are right
I have been avoiding learning how to actually draw people properly for far too long. I should bite the bullet and do it sometime.

Torso too long?
I thought it was merely a case of her head being too small compared to the rest

small heads are a massive problem when drawing people, that's why i love digital drawings
you draw the head larger than you want on a separate layer and scale.

it isn't just proportion, it's stance and weight
you gotta know how gravity and weight affects the whole body, a rigid medical chart can't tell you that

True
Why does trying to be good at something have to be so hard? :P

if it were easy everyone would do it and it'd be nothing special
also, and I know I'm doing nothing but criticising you here but I like to see people improve, smooth lineart with variable line thickness can add a lot of style. At the moment it looks like you just draw straight into photoshop or gimp with a thin brush at low resolution

Yeah
You might want to try using a different program for lines, one designed for lineart, and then transfer it to photoshop/gimp for colouring.
Or play with the brush settings and find some custom brushes, maybe.

I've always used GIMP as I am familiar with it and it doesn't cost any money.
I have a copy of Corel Painter Essentials 3 that I never installed is that any good?

No idea, never tried it
I don't know much about gimp either, but I imagine it has the same brush settings as photoshop. I hate photoshop brushes, they're no fun :(

I'll give it go but I'm not convinced a new program is going to improve my drawing ability :)

Yes.
But I'm biased. I work in Corel Painter, and rarely in photoshop.
I think the main difference with Essentials is it's missing the majority of the brush library of Painter. But so long as it's got Detail Oils you'll be fine (well, 's what I use for lines anyway. You may prefer felt tips or summat).

it's not bad, the tits are huge though.
i'm not sure why people worry about proportion so much in cartoony style sketches.

It's more that they look sorta stuck on
rather than the size. Knockers that big would have more of a sense of perspective.

It's how it is
in cartoons they base their proportions on real anatomical proportion and then scale it, carefully, so it looks like it COULD physically exist. If you get it just slightly wrong it sticks the fuck out, you just notice it as being wrong and it makes the picture less appealing.
You can't look at your own pictures and see it, though, for some reason, which is pretty annoying.

yeah that pic doesn't look too bad for mine, maybe blinded by the tits.
