Description
First I thought about naming the artwork "Alone with me" - but I also thought that "alone" would be to negative and can't describe what I really mean and which state of mind I want to express! The artwork is about learning to be just with yourself and no one else.. and to be happy in that kind of state. And I don't mean just staying in bed and don't want to see anyone else, but to do many great things as to travel etc. on your own. Nevertheless this is very hard to learn and this state is full of emotions, that no one will distract you from. A movie and book that describes this way of finding yourself is "Wild".. give it a try!
I hope you like the artwork! Much Love, Natty Β Your feedback and criticism are much appreciated!
Materials used: watercolour & ink
Update: I did some digital editing.. made the colours a lot brighter and delete the grey shadow! I hope you like it! Β

I like your sketchy lineart
For the pose, I've been studying poses the last month and I got a similar one, it was harder than expected
Β
I suggest you try to draw it from the reference (the original photograph is in the description) so you'd see by yourself what you can improve ^^
I say this because I like your art and you're a nice person, so I want you to improve!!!
Β
ah also, you should add a mature fiter, because you can see a nipple. I personally don't mine, but these are the DA rules, and I know people who have Β family or who check DA from work and it can be embarassing for them ^^

I thought a whole week about this improving-stuff because someone on DA said I should try to improve because my art is partially not good and that is why people don't like it.. I thought about it and got insecure because I thought: Hmm mabye he is right and you didn't improve that much.. but then I had a talk to a friend, whose opinion is very important to me and he draw my attention to a very important point: my art is not about imrovement, not about the right pose, beauty, perfection etc. ( even if it is nice when it fits well) but about the emotional impact and things I want to communicate to the ones who want to listen ^.^
So it is very nice of you that you want my art to improve

Your art is for you! Improvement should always be lower than enjoyment. Because without enjoyment, improvement doesn't matter.Β
Art is therapy, life, creativeness, and emotion. That is all
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree so much! And with enjoyment will also come the improvement :3 because if you love to do things, you will do it often and learn by that!
π: 0 β©: 1
wel I do agree with the first part, and this is why I like what you're doing
but the second part will help the first part have more impact ^^
Please believe me!
All I ask is that you accept what I said, without any buts and that's enough for me
the grain has been planted
hmmm, maybe it was too soon for you, I'm sorry
π: 0 β©: 1
That is very right! But it is also that painting just means joy to me and I don't want to change it by adding an improvement-perspective^^ And I absolutely accept what you said, I just don't want to see my art from that perspective or change it :3 maybe I will improve with time and even if not - that is fine, because it is just about the emotional aspect and the joy and not the pursuit to get better.. I hope you understand what I mean
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course you don't have to change what you've already done
It's for the future
π: 0 β©: 1
nono I get that! And it is a good aspect!! But I just don't want to think about an improvement-aspect while painting.. like: If I do this or this, it would look better.. I don't want to get it better in the first place and change my thoughts about my art, because it would take the joy away for me and even destroy a little bit what I want to express - because it just comes from the heart and not from the mind..

So very beautiful, but also holding hints of being fragile... of sorrow and a sense of longing of sorts... yet the colors and lightness depict hope and happiness while looking comforting...
I am again happy to favor another of your works with the hope of continuing to see such beauty.Β
