Thank you so much for drawing another of my requests! I just submitted a fan letter to you, one containing many of my heartfelt thoughts, so I hope you get the chance to read it. I'm overall very happy with the results, although I do have some gentle feedback I'd like to offer regarding the design of C-Sha's jeans. I didn't think my fan letter was an appropriate place to bring it up, but I can say it here if you're comfortable and willing to hear what I have to say.

Sure, go ahead. I do this to learn so I don't mind feedback at all. I'll be honest though, your request was a bit difficult at the beginning because there was no references of the clothing, so I could only hope it was what you wanted.

Thank you. I apologize for not including a visual reference, I'll keep that in mind if I submit another request in the future. Regarding the look of C-Sha's jeans, there are two details that feel strange to me. The first is the lack of a fly. One thing that I find attractive about women's jeans is the way they open and shut by the fly in the front. With there only being a simple seam, one of the main mechanisms of jeans loses its impact on me. The second detail is regarding the waistline. The way it cuts off at the top of the belt feels like the belt loops aren't attached to anything at the top. Normally, when drawing jeans, I feel there should be a small sliver of blue denim drawn above the top of the belt in order to establish a more concrete waistline on the jeans itself, and so the belt loops feel sturdily attached to it. It also adds a stronger sense of 3-dimensional depth, so you can better feel how the belt is wrapped around the waistline and tucked through the belt loops.

About the lack of a fly I can only say that normally is not drawn just to keep it simple (unless the drawing is about the fly being open), also because a lot of jeans have the button on top that normally hides the fly completely, but if it is something that you specifically like then it wouldn't been a problem to do it. And the other stuff about the jeans it's true, I think I probably was too distracted with figuring out how to do the right hand like that going into the pants I just forgot or didn't think of adding it. Though I'll definitely take it into account next time I do any drawings with a jean.
