Had lots of fun drawing this one^^
The toughest parts to draw are the legs and the (you guessed it) sword.
For the legs, I googled some Chun-Li (Street Fighter ROXORS) pics. No, I didn't copy any of them. what I do a lot is that I look at artworks and "study" them. In the case of the legs on my character, I studied the muscles of Chun-Li's legs plus it gave me an idea how to exaggerate mine.
The sword.... that was exhausting.
Notice something about the highlights?
I finally found out how to do those 90s anime cel highlights that I've been trying to figure out FOR YEARS!!
HURRAH HURRAH HURRAH!!
Still, I got carried away with the highlights and put them all over the place.
What i gotta learn now is how to use these new tricks right.
Oh and yeah.... she has large shoulder pads that don't show well because of the angle.

This is actually a redesign of her sword since a friend of mine complained that the old design was disturbing (I'll let your imagination guess what he meant by that XD).
It's okay, you only need "proper terms" on the professional environment.
Let me tell you that they love the word "juxtapose".
The advantage of drawing in sections (like I did here) though is that you can find flaws in you framework if a part "doesn't fit". This is how I found out about how VERY wrong her legs were drawn when it was just a rough sketch.
I can't believe I was actually saved by Chun-Li^^
Oh yeah in case you haven't figured it out yet, professional and well done artworks of characters are great and more fun alternatives to life drawing books (face it - random old naked men are boring to look at), although I still HIGHLY recommend checking out life drawing books for more accurate information on anatomy^^
Cheers
