Description It's time we aim our arrows high! - VersaEmerge - Fire (Aim Your Arrows High).

Remember in my last journal, when I said that I promised myself to not draw her before finishing all my artworks in progress? Forget it. I couldn't resist anymore - I drew Sierra from VersaEmerge. Finally it doesn't really look like her. There's something in her that I didn't managed to get in the drawing, but I don't know what.
And the orange things are supposed to be jellyfishes.
I swear the drawing look better in person (or maybe it's just a lame excuse).

Based on this pic : [link] / (I found it in HQ but I don't remember where)
VersaEmerge's Myspace : [link] / (You all must listen to them now.)

From 2H to 8B pencils, brown pencils, liquid watercolor and salt.

Thank you. I think you're right! I always draw faces longer than they are. I really like drawing Sierra (:

I am a fan of the narrow color range. And the watercolors. You are good at those. Did you put salt on it?

Thank you! Yes, I used salt.

Very lovely. The realism in the face really stands out among your other pictures.
Also that jellyfish concept is really cool.

Watercolors are a personal favorite.

Really well done! I really like how you used watercolours on the background, I always love good watercolour things!
You said there that you think that there's something on her that you didin't get into the drawing. I somehow get the feeling that it may be 'cause you didn't do as dark eye make up as in the original...? And I have to say that in the original picture her face is maybe a liiittle bit more turned like upwards and her mouth is a bit more open in the original. Sorry if you didn't try to do exactly the same it is in the original, I just thought that I should mention these points to help And the whole thing is really well done, good job!

Thanks for the advice (: I couldn't find those mistakes myself but now that you mention it I see better. I'll try to fix the eyes makeup tomorrow. I also think I did the eyes too up :/

mansikkaMisa In reply to 3lda [2010-07-29 22:39:01 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome, hope it helps! I like the eye makeup on that way too, but looking forward to see when you've fixed it too

3lda In reply to mansikkaMisa [2010-07-29 22:45:35 +0000 UTC]

Hehe yes, I just tried to fix it but I don't know if it actually changes a lot of things. I'm afraid to do it too dark.
Normally this is a little bit darker under her eyes too but I don't know if I will change it. Maybe she will look tired.

mansikkaMisa In reply to 3lda [2010-07-29 22:50:15 +0000 UTC]

Okay, well, that was just first thing that came to my mind so... And yeah, I know what you mean, though I'm not very good at realistic drawing (even though I really like it), but that may be like that.. But sometimes it just feels that you can't do something, since if you do it you may be not able to change it back if it doesen't look good..

3lda In reply to mansikkaMisa [2010-07-29 22:57:47 +0000 UTC]

You're right about the makeup, I didn't made it dark enough. I just don't know how to make it darker and at the same time not too dark (if that makes any sense). And sometimes there's things that looks okay on a photo (like the dark under her eyes) but I feel that if I draw it, she will look tired and all :/

mansikkaMisa In reply to 3lda [2010-07-29 23:06:48 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it makes sense. I completely understand.. And I know that feeling too, hope you're able to make it look like the way it pleases you

The jellyfish definitely look like jellyfish. I knew what they were right away. (:
She looks a bit like :devbigtgetnry: to me for some reason.. >_<
I love the simplicity and the black and white and the empty space, it's all gorgeous.

3lda In reply to rainbowrays [2010-07-29 21:23:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you (: My father thought the jellyfishes were just random abstract things, that's why I mentionned they were jellyfishes. Haha yes, it's fun sometimes to not draw something as overloaded of colours and cute creatures as I always do.

Yeah, definitely. It's nice to have variety.

Ahah, I like to read comments on other deviants' deviations sometimes too ^___^
I definitely can't choose only one drawing style and always work with it. I need variety.
