Description
Ok i finished this last night its taken me ages to find the time to sit down and get the finishing touches in place its been so annoying!!!! and I hate how crap the picture looks but there is nothing I can do unfortunately
I finally managed to get round to taking a much better picture of this drawing I did you can make out the colours still but the colour burn is much softer
Do you think the colours blend well on the fairy
I was aiming the make it so the colours sed on her look right with the background but still stand out....
I was also aiming for curiosity in this picture as the unimaginative name states....do yo think I acheived this ?
any other feedback is welcome please if anything bugs you about this picture let me know

As already said - a very nice colouring choice; I'm in love with her hair and clothing 
The only bothering thing is that I can't see if she's sitting on the plant or if she's in the air at the moment. I suppose she's flying so her hair and dress should be floating a bit.
But you've done an awesome job, congrats!
And don't think too much about my words

So you were trying to harmonize both the background and the main character but make the character stand out? I think she blends a little bit more than you want to by making the dress of the fairy and the flower the same color. From my point of view, I think that having contrast between character and background makes the drawing more interesting but that's just my preference. You can achieve more contrast by making a fuller background with deep greens and the main character by using lighter colors. I think that the drawing might have darkened while you took the picture. You can download picasa 3 (type "picasa 3" on google) which is a google program that can help you edit your drawings and it's for free and legal and there you can light up your drawing and do some touch ups. Anatomy wise I think the arms are just slight small but they're pretty good. There's some element of mystery but I think you could have emphasized that a little bit more by making her face expressions a bit more evident. Overall I think this is a great piece of art~~ I really love your concept and how you added meaning behind.

oh I see.. I also have that problem with my drawings (especially when I use pastels). Isn't it very annoying? and frustating? = = Oh i see~ I didn't know that ... through my computer the colors of the dress and the flower are the same. You're welcome ^^

The colors go together really well and the anatomy looks great. The only problem I see is that the with the shoulder facing us; I think the arm starts a little too high up, if that makes sense. I can see the curiousity from the way she's trying to touch the flower. Good job with watercolors, I think her hair looks beautiful

Lovely soft colours.
I think the colour scheme is nice. The only think I would like to say is that I wish this to be bit sharper looking. It might be you scanner, I don't know, but that's my personal opinion.
Anyway, lovely wings and nice pose. I hope you do some more

But no problem. Take care and happy holidays!

Great peice, love the colors. The only thing is that you should darken the girl a bit, to make her stand out, right now she blends in too much
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah I was thinking that but I wasnt too sure and didnt want to rick messing the picture up :S thanks loads for taking your time to comment

I think the colors blend nicely. ^^ I would have personally used more vibrant colors, but the softer colors do give this a gentle tone. ♥
I love the shading on her wings and dress, and the flower is very nice. ♥ I just wish I could see it better, but that's the downside to photos. D:
Great job, though! ^^

yeah thats what I was going for I wanted it to give a really gentle, delicate feel to her

I really like the shading that I can see in here. The picture does seem out of focus and faint though. I'm guessing that's due to the camera? From what I can see, she looks decently curious, and I also love the wings. She does seem to blend in with the background some, so you kind of have to look harder to see the full picture.

yeah i think it could use making her a little bit more prominant and yeah the clur n everything is form the camera unfortunately its crap

Maybe you could touch it up some in a photo program? And you're welcome!

i tried it but it just distorts the colours

I have to point out that there's a typo in the title!
Otherwise, it's pretty! The fingernails seem a bit too bright, but I think that's just a saturation issue. Have you tried playing with the colour curves?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah that just messed it up and OMG like no one can tell I was half asleep typing that and i neva noticed till you said thanks loads for the comment
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The curves can be quite subtle, so that might be why. 
I think I could fix it for you if you want, and tell me what colour the background should be, but if you'd rather not, I totally understand!

OMG yeah please that would be totally awsome of you

[link] Sorry it took a while, but I did get there! It won't be perfect, but I think it's better.

thanks for that you can see the colours alot better i really do apreciate the help

It's a lovely soft piece.
If it were me I might try to darken the darkest tones just a wee bit more, but that's about it. It has a really delicate, old-fashioned feel.

yeah thats what I was trying to do on photoshop but it kept making it look really strange :s and thanks loads for your comment

Have a look here [link]
I don't know if the colours are ok or not since I haven't seen the original. It was just done quickly with a free program called PhotoImpact using the express fix feature. Hope that's useful. Once you've seen it let me know and I'll remove it from my scraps

you can see the colours a little better I'm going to have a play around with it later tonight when I get home form college I think to see if I can get it any better in the actual picture if not then it looks like it will have to done using photoshop

The picture's a little dark (which I'd assume happened when you photographed it), can you lighten it at all with a photo editing program? (maybe fiddle a bit with the contrast and lightness). I think with that it'd be easier to judge the true colours on this picture
It's a nice composition, I think you've chosen the colours well, the colours on the dress and the flower help it all fit together while still being light enough to make her stand out from the leaves behind her

thanks loads for the feedback I tried the contrast but it made it look really weird :S if you have any ideas I would much apreciate it
