Description
Finally! It's finished!
Full view please!I think my scanner sucks out the color though
It looks so much more vivid and better on paper...anyone know how to fix it?This is a giftart for , I hope she likes it!
P.S. yes, my human anatomy still sucks
Bear with me as I improve over time? >.<Tools used: Color pencils, gel pens, and ink
Edit o5/15/10: Turns out my old laptop desaturated the colors...so I turned it up and edited a bit. Desaturated colors annoys me
lol

first off i really love this!! the flowers have so much detail and look like they are coming off the page! the swirly vine (lack of better description word) makes this really stand out and gives it alot of character!! i think in the girl though that there is something off about her neck and the bow looks like it is sticking out from her body instead of laying againts it i am not sure if you did this on purpose but if you did just ignore this comment the hair looks great and flows nicely. the right arm is a bit small compared to the other one and the other shoulder looks just a bit too big but over all this is really great!!
hope i didnt offend you!

A lot of critiques so I will just say a few pointers ^^
The flowers are nicely detailed through the use of using more than just one colour it would be nice if you add more shades of colour throughout the other parts of the artwork.The shading on the other hand is brilliant
Also keep in mind that black shades don't always give you the best look 
Once you get a more understanding of how colours work and with your current level of shading you could get away with wonderful artworks that won't require you to do such a thick black outline in your works and look more realistic for that matter.

Thank you
I've also heard from my friend that the thick outlines take away from the colors so thank you for pointing that out as well I guess my head is stuck too much into digital painting

Depending what program you have/use just adjusting the levels should do to bring out your artworks true colours.
Yeah that is true which is why once you have a more understanding of colours you will see that outlines won't be needed so much
Yeah the thing with digital painting is that using so many settings/tools it sometimes deters you from completely understanding how tones/colours work.That is why its best to have that very fundamental skill through the use of traditional methods to have a better understanding of it.

Ah yes I use CS4 to adjust the levels,contrast..etc
I used to think outlines were utterly necessary

Ahh right well i did put a few recommendations for the groups favourites
[link] levels stuff
[link] pencil tut
so yeah~
Digital art is still being created by the user rather the program considering the program is just a "tool". Its more to do with shortcuts/adjustments and the fact that you can undo things that sets it apart from traditional art even though to some degree you can do the same thing in traditional
I haven't touched pencils in a long long time probably have forgotten how to use them HAHAAHAHahahahaaa...

I like this. The background I like the best, and how you could pull all the colors together to give it that completed look. What I don't like, unfortunately, is how the head seems like it's somewhat detached, like it's going one way when the rest of the body's going another. If you wanted her looking another direction then I would move the entire head (and I know this is super annoying to do) to the left (when looking at the picture). That kinda means the hair either needs to be slimmed, or it could just remain to same (I can't imagine the entire thing in my head, sorry). What I also don't understand is why you have her arm just sticking out of her hair. I guess you probably don't want it to disappear completely, like someone chopped it off, but it shouldn't be going at that angle. If you want it showing then it should be going forward, not backward with her other arm (thus is motion, i guess) *stariaplushies is right, I'd give some more definition to the threads around her neck because they look really two-dimensional. and...other than that, I'd like some more shade-definition in her hair, like you did with the background and her shirt. Just different shades of blonde to give it more upbeat-ness/dimension, if that makes sense.
(nice job, either way)

Thank you for the crit. This was drawn with a reference to a VS model who posed exactly like this in a magazine. I use ref images because I am unable to fully draw human forms properly. Her head is facing that direction because her neck is turned that way but hidden by her hair. also, her hair is actually made up for 4-5 diff shades of yellow but it doesn't show up due to the scanner...I understand that there are certain flaws in the drawing and I am still working on it. Overall, thank you for your input.

Wonderful!!!
And when i scan hand drawn stuff I run it through photoshop and play with brightness/contrast e.c.t until the colours look similar to the way they do in person. My mandalas hardly showed up at all after scanning, and they where done with permanent black markers!
I just love this
