PhilipFry: Which proportions? Leela's left arm should be a little longer, as should the Professor's head. But I think the proportions are mostly OK. Are you saying the boobs are out of proportion? The nipples aren't that great, but I was trying to keep them cartoony.
marcusabroad: Sorry if I sound negative, but if you're asking for specific points I'd amend in future pics... Her right lower leg is a bit short, her thigh a little long; she's got quite a lot of butt (though that may be a personal art choice!); her ankles and calves are very thick; and her feet are a bit chunky. Her tits are... in reality, yes, most will approach that sort of shape when you're leaning over, but in cartooning terms (esp. with the nipples placed on the very lower edge of them), those are old lady boobs! I wouldn't aim to be too realistic with breasts :)
PhilipFry: Her right lower leg is indeed a little shorter than her other one, and that can’t be justified in terms of perspective, given that that leg is further away than the other one. I’ve done a bunch of Futurama porn pictures, and I try to stay as close as I can to the character models given in the show and on the DVDs. I find that the feet in the TV show are indeed stumpy, like a baby’s feet. The same is true of the hands, unless the fingers are used in some expressive pose. The ankles and calves are thick because in the show the lower legs are pretty short, and it’s hard to go from muscular thighs to baby feet in so short a space without thicker lower legs. As for the boobs, that’s certainly a personal choice: I find it sexier to think that without her bra, her boobs would be of the swaying kind, just as I prefer to think of her as having a bush. In fact, the model I use is the chest of the porn actress Anna Song. That said, there was another mistake in the drawing, which is that her left breast should be a little bigger and lower than the right one, since it’s closer to the viewer. I’ve since fixed that in the original. Thanks for the comments, though. I like constructive criticism.
marcusabroad: No worries :) If it'd help, I did a little example drawing of what I was talking about: a 'fuller' shape to the boobs while retaining the 'swaying' idea, moved nipples, tapered calves and ankles, and 'shapelier' feet! I'm with you on the untrimmed look, btw ;)

PhilipFry: I looked at your drawing, marcus. I like it except for the boobs, the shapes of which make them look fake, which doesn't do it for me. But I'll be uploading an improved version of my picture. Her right lower leg will be lengthened, which will make that ankle look thinner, the nipples will be raised, and her right boob will be lowered. The issue with her left foot is that it's foreshortened, since it's facing the viewer, whereas the one in your drawing, marcus, is parallel to the other foot.
