Description I've been meaning to do some larger traditional media pieces lately and I finally completed one. This is intended to be the first of a series in similar theme and style. I wanted a sort of story book feel, and I think I mostly accomplished that.

There are a few things I'm not that pleased about, but all in all it was a positive learning experience. I'd love any feedback.

10" x 13"
Watercolor and Ink on Bristol Paper

The scan is rather bad, so I'll rescan when I get a bigger scanner.

I really like the detail on the bottom of the dress. The bird in the top corner is a nice touch.

I hate doing this but you say that it's helpful sooo I will voice my thought.I think that her shoulder(my left one) is a little off on its proportion. Other than that I think it's quite lovely.

jefita In reply to LittleRedPippy [2008-08-02 13:12:17 +0000 UTC]

I think you're right. I think it's also how I shaded it, and the lines should have been a little different.

And yes that is helpful. It's called feedback.

yea.hehe but I don't like giving "feedback"

Well there needs to be more people out there who give real feedback. That's how we figure out where we need to improve.

LittleRedPippy In reply to jefita [2008-08-05 14:49:27 +0000 UTC]

true true. Also there are a lot of people that think they can draw (but really can't) because no one gives "feedback".

Sadly true.

I absolutely love the patterns on her dress, so very detailed, it must be tiny IRL?I think you did a good job on the framework and perpective on the floor also. Sorry I don't really have anything constructive to say, but take that as a good thing XD

jefita In reply to issymis [2008-08-02 13:18:54 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I suppose they are pretty tiny. The whole thing is a little bigger than a regular sheet of paper.

I appreciate the comments!

Thank you. It's been a long time since I've done a full size watercolor, so I wasn't sure how it would turn out.

Thank you. Photoshop is one of my other loves, but watercolor came before it, even though I was really terrible at it for years. Sometimes it is very satisfying to have a physical piece of art and not just a bunch of pixels.
