Description my character Rose, and my friends character Daisy. ^^ i liked Daisy's design so much that i decided to draw her again with my character

about the picture...i'm not really satisfied with it. i might scrap it. this painting gave me so much trouble. i couldn't get the skin tone right. look at daisy's face. its WHITE. stupid scanner and paints *grumbles* secondly, Rose's dress. *kills herself* egh, i couldn't get the colors right and they would either bleed all over the place or just sit there and contrast too much with the other colors. AND THEN I SPILLED HALF A BOTTLE OF INK ON HER DRESS. you can't really see it now, i painted over it a bit in acrylics and touched it up in photoshop. yes...and then the white dots....i hate the ones on Rose's dress. and they're too big. and i tried to salt the background like does with her drawings and make a pretty effect. didn't work. wrong type of salt. and then i decided to put glitter on it. BIG MISTAKE >.< partly cause the paint wasn't even dry yet but ughhhh i scraped a lot of it off. and at first, the wings weren't outlined and i liked them that way. but then it got lost in the background so i outlined them. but my biggest peeve is probably that the two girls are blending into the background. its complete chaos >.<;;

Daisy's in a different outfit then the one before, i wanted to design a couple of fairy outfits ^^ i somewhat like rose's though. i liked how part of it is transparent. UNTIL I SPILLED INK ON IT.

but yeah...around 7 hours, with ink, watercolors and acrylics. and glitter. oh god the glitter.

Hey, this is pretty good ^^!
For skin tone problem, I have bought a poster paint that is skin colored so I don't have to mix, but the mixture for skin colors is red+yellow+blue+white. I have problems scanning in skin colors too (thats why my paintings tend to be so bright X_X) but try control levels on photoshop (ctrl-L) and adjust the red color bar.
Wrong type of salt.. it does take awhile to get the hang of this.. t ry table salt, not rock salt, wait for the painting to be moist, not wet, then gently sprinkle over it, and then dont touch it. Chemical thingies will make it so that some colors have different effects on others, but just keep experimenting.
I don't think glitter is a good idea.. try using paints that have glitter on em X3.
Hope this helps.. hope you don't mind my long winded comment.

the entire pic is good, and the couloring complets it as well. Only a few details on body proportions were missing,
