Description This was a commission for one girl in Gaia :3
She told me to draw her but it would be similiar like my drawing [link] (..so if anyone is wondering why i am kind of repeating myself xD)
I got to decide almost everything in this too

(I tried to make her look like herself so thus not so me-like facial features )

Her eyes are beautifully drawn. I like the dark blues and greens that you've colored this with. Wonderful drawing

Eeeh xD i am quite afraid for the heavy crits *laugh* But i guess i need those too to improve my art mid-harsh critique?

Kilraq In reply to Shomia [2005-09-26 13:12:55 +0000 UTC]

Ok. Will be gentle. *Chuckles* Will go critique, nice, critique. Hehhe

First off, the head is in a pose that just... looks off. Unnatural. People do not turn there head in this manner. Look how the head is slanted downward with the chin angled somewhat sideways to the rest of the face. Normally this wouldn't be to bad but you streched the chin to neck line way back, so it looks like she has a large head that is forced to be tilted foreward.

Love the hair here. I am very amazed at the change I see in your art here, your hair has definition, levels, styles, colors, arrangements. Its very real and very lifelike.

But back to face. the inner face from your shading seems to be sunken in, instead of arching out. This is one of the reasons a nose is so predominent on the face, from already natural leveling outward, before that zonker of a nose we all got pokes out far.

As another commenter said, the rose and outfit is very well done, with a good sheen and leveling to it. This is another area I see an incredible growth from you in. I salute you.

And finally, the things that catches me. Very few people have spider like hand/fingers that this women possesses. Her finger "feel" as if they are streched, are just mere bone. The hand seems a bit on the long side as well. Just saying its looks a bit unnatural. Fleshing it out, giving it a bit of plumpness would help elevate the problem, but it just seems to be streched out a bit.

And finally, what I am loving and seeing in your art is your BACKGROUNDS. I remember when I first started watching your work. They were fairly plain and simple, sometimes a bit distracting. Now however, this piece as an example, note the levels and subtley of it. Its blends and draws the eye where you wish it, and fades out as it helps the eye travel from left to right. This is superbly done.

Finally, want to send you to another artist I watch. [link] Does a wonderful job on anatomy. While you two are different styles in artwork, I think you two could greatly enhance each others work by learning and chatting with each other. Besides, Elazuls is trying to get better at backgrounds... *hint hint*

It´s great to read long comments for a change xD i rarely get any.. almost all the comments are something like "hey cool!" "nice" "That hand is a bit off" or something >.>

But yes yes. It has been some time since you saw my art.. and i believe i have improved quite a lot during that time (hopefully!)

I am also trying to improve my anatomy, because i got tired hearing those anatomy comments etc.. We´ll see if i improve with that then.(Because it seems that the only thing i am improving is my coloring)

And i was really wondering what was off with the nose ..there didn´t seem to be anything anatomical but it was the coloring afterall..!

And thanks for all the other tips/notes too

...hm, i´ll take a glance to that artist´s gallery then xD
