Fhqwhgads. So many times reworking that torso, and I'm still not sure. '-'
Remind me to enjoy some minimal shading with my next endeavor...and higher contrast. I get so soft with full shading.

Thank you so much. <3 I'm trying to remember to use different hues - like blue and pink - to shade the white. It often helps make a more interesting result to use unexpected/unrealistic hints of color. :)
I like following these artists if you want some inspiration on coloring technique:

Sometimes it's overwhelming to see art that makes me feel like mine is sub-par, but overall it reeeeally helps with inspiration and building a visual library in mah brain. :D

I actually started out with her being a little chubbier in my sketch, but I lost it while trying to figure out the angle. '-' Whuups.
But I'm glad it looks good to you. <3

What's wrong with the torso? Looks alright to me.
Unless you mean like how Gatomon is actually kinda pudgy and she's not, but I think some artistic creativity is okay here :p
