Ok, so I think this is the first time I've actually featured CantDraw on COTW, which is amazing. But here we go, I'm doing it this week. As I'm sure everyone is aware, CantDraw has one of the most interesting and unique visual styles of anyone in the community and this is a fantastic example. Both incredibly cartoony (looking at the, ahem, exaggerated proportions) and psuedo-realistic (LOOK AT HER FACE!!!!) complimented by one of the best shading techniques out of any 'machiner. Best bits? Err, the face, the right hand, the face, the shading, the face, the right hand and the face. Yeah, thats about right. Oh and such power in the pose. She's just like "yeah, I'm going to kill you and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. And have I mentioned how much I love her face. That expression is ice cold. It's actually the first time I've seen the chin up head used effectively in a manner that looks natural and not awkward in any way.

One pet peeve of mine.
The right hand. It’s wrong.
When you hold your right hand like this, unless you’re trying to break your arm, the part closest to the person up front ain’t the thumb, but the little finger and his side of the hand.
Yet, there’s absolutely no hand in HM that allows us to do that, meaning one has to get by with hands that face wrongly when held up, just like here. Cantdraw is a master, but even he can barely hide that.
