Just a practice picture. :3
This is a female curla, a foxlike fantasy creature of mine. She is doing some druidic magic, making the flowers blossom etc.

Vain harjoituskuva. :3
Tässä on naarascurla, kettumainen fantasiaotukseni.

Hyvin suloinen! Olet nähnyt paljon vaivaa taustaan, se on todella hieno.

Good work! The composition works well and the pose it nice.
The anatomy and proportions are good overall though you should look up the bonestructure of hooved hindlegs: On both hindlegs the calves are missing. As well as the placement of joints in pawed forelegs: There is no joint where you made the right one 'curve'. If there was, it would have no elbow but instead a paw the size of it's lower arm.
Study more from reallife and get a feeling for the mass of objects, that will also help you with correct shadow placement. Here the shadows are 80%missing.
Technique wise it's also 'good'. Don't use preset brushes to create grass, don't use the dodge and burn to shade. If you really want to improve you need to learn at least the basics of color-theory and how to bring true depth in your picture -which for example includes decreasing detail and color intensity in the far corners.
Also take a look at wip's of other painters to see how they shade etc, you can spare yourself alot of time with painting fur AFTER blocking in shadows and light anstead of trying to create both with mere lines.
So all in all it is a well done picture but you still have alot of room to improve

Thank you so much, I love critique.

I'm still working on the shadows, I'm not good at using the right colors - and burn tool is really useful :'D ... I have to get rid of it. You're right.

En osaa sanoa muuta, ku et tää kuva on mun mielest yks kauneimmist, minkä oot tehny. Tausta ja hahmo sopii niin hyvin yhteen sekä väriltä että luonteelta (hahmo näyttää nii kiltiltä :3)

Häntä näyttää ehkä vähä turhan tuuhealta hahmon hentoon vartaloon nähden, mutta sekin saattaa olla tyypillinen piirre curla-lajissa, en tiedä

Kaiken kaikkiaan, tulee hyvä mieli, kun katsoo kuvaa ^^

Tää on oikein nätti kuva :3 Tausta on todella hieno samoiten hahmo. Tykkään erityisesti tosta turkituksesta ^^

Ainoa mikä on vähän hassua kun hännässä olevat valot menevät niin kuin valoa tulisi takaa, kun taas puissa ja hahmossa muuten näyttäisi valot menevät niin että valo tulee edestäpäin

Cheetahbird In reply to Narncolie [2011-08-13 18:31:26 +0000 UTC]

Joo, jotenkin puolivälissä valojen asettamista tuli ajatuskatko ja jotain mystistä tapahtui XD

Falgor [2011-08-08 19:32:03 +0000 UTC]

ah toi tausta 'sulaa heti ekana sille* <3
sun pitää edelleen opettaa mua tekeen paremmin turkkia ja sitten noita ihania puita! OwO

kauniisti tehty harjoituskuva ja hahmo näyttää aivan ihanalta! <3

ainoa josta voisin kritisoida, niin takajalat menevät minusta ehkä vähän jotenkin..väärin...ne taipuvat minusta väärin kun menevät noin...silleen..en osaa selittää xD

Hih, kiitos :3

Ne menee väärin, valitettavasti :< täytyy muistaa ensi kerralla, että sorkkajalat taipuvat eri tavoin kuin tassut...

Great work, my only advice is to make the head a little bit bigger (I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way, also I would right a critique but I'm not a premium member)
