Nonononono you're doing it wrong

The problem and mental block I was having with the torso height/hip position was due to me being hell bent on implying its position with the gap between the top and the skirt as visible in >>6647528. But the damn forearm is in the way, didn't plan ahead. So I just gave up on it and thought it was inoperable. The pose fucked it, better luck next time.
But after letting my stupid eyes rest for a bit, I saw the obvious solution. Just make the damn skirt lines straight and have that imply where the top stops and skirt starts (which then implies the hip)!!! Such a simple solution to such a supposedly complex proportions problem!!! LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE HAD TO CHANGE
JUST ONE LINE IN THE SKIRT

>Another thing it could use is more saturated colors IMO.
No no no either. I see way too often artist fuck up cute sketches by doing a mediocre ass job at coloring them. So I'm not even going to try, I can hardly draw, why do you think I'd pull colors off???
A flat concept-arty pastel looks good by default, it keeps the lineart dominant, but also improves the readability by a whole lot.
