Oh look I used photoshop and my tablet, Nudity warning.

It's been a while since I used em. I think I finally got somewhere usin em, or well kinda decent at using them(I am no Ashura).
Now before you get to the seeing of the picture I'm going to explain it/rant. Ok this is a cubic figure study IT IS NOT MENT TO BE 100% ACURATE TO THE HUMAN BODY DISTORTATION IS ON PURPOSE! DO NOT TELL ME IT"S NOT CUBSIM, IT"S BASED OFF OF PICASSO'S ANALYTICAL CUBSIM FIGURE SKETCHES! I HAVE RESEARCHED ANALYTICAL CUBISM FOR SOME TIME I KNOW WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT!
Enjoy the picture(looking for real crits to not "LOLZERZ IT LOOKS NEATO!"):

well if you say you want c&c but you say it looks bad on purpose i don't know what i am allowed to critique. =/

the neck/collarbone area looks like it has an unnecessary line.
just work on making your lineart smoother

post below descripes it better

Greyscale it and through in abit of a sepia tone, and you've got Monty Python style art. XD

Can't really say much else about it, though. :| "Real art" isn't my forte, so I'm sorry I can't provide soe good feedback on it.

The outline is really squiggly. Try to keep it more solid. Also, study anatomy because there a lot of things in this art that is off.

Okay, deleted all the spam/flamy posts here. Maybe instead of bashing his art, maybe try to pinpoint WHAT's wrong with his artwork next time. It'll help him avoid the same mistakes again.

OP: I really like the color scheme/linework, but I think that the anatomy needs a lot of work. IMO, I think that instead of having you trying to pull off a picasso, try to pull off realistic anatomy. It'll help you improve your anatomy, and it will make your picasso pics a little better.

It's VERY hard to pull off anatomy correctly (I can't pull it off that well too). IMO, your best chance of pulling it off well is to use a reference. Try going to http://fineart.sk , it has a lot of useful references of anatomy, and I think that it will help you.

Why do I get a warn for saying it's disturbing.

Anyways, it's unhuman and bubbly shape makes it somewhat disturbing due to the fact that it seems like she's melting.

Is that better, Ashura?

yes

What specifically needs the most work?

It's better to distort things after you can draw them well from "memory", while things might turn out nice now when you're trying this Picasso analytical cubism thing (I'm not familiar with it) it's mostly a happy accident.
It'd be great if you can provide some examples, since the cubism I'm familiar with is a picture broken up into many different viewpoints, preferring geometrical shapes. This to me just looks like "I'm drawing squiggly cuz I'm not used to my tablet rofl"

That out of the way, I very much like the thighs, especially (her) left, I'm not sure what's going on with her right shoulder/arm, it kind of rubber bends all the way over though the lower arm is great; her left upper torso is also nice, I love the inclusion of the collarbone. Last qualm is her left foot, I'm getting some serious "**** ran out of room and I'm too lazy to resize canvas OH WELL LOL" vibes here, which is really distracting

Yeah not sure what the hell happend to her whole right thigh, or that foot for that matter.
As for an Example here is the best I could find online: I wanted to find the sketches I was studying while I did this but, the book I used is far to big for my scanner. If I can find a camera, I'll photograph the pages with the sketches on. This isn't his more cubic, analytical cubism, this his simpler stuff(simply because that's all I can get my mind to grasp and fully understand at thsi point.)

But Picasso used perfect anatomy in that picture(not including the faces), even though he was using a form of cubism. Yours is pretty blob-like and not as clean as such of what he did.

Unless this is a fat lady.
