Description "Growing. Growing and maturing, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. Yet, I knew in the center of my heart there's a piece of childishness that can never be changed."

So, my first proper piece in a very very very long while...=_= ; sorry, only squeezed time to upload this.

those mutated black things are butterflies by the way. and apologies for the super-off arms...i was trying to do that perspective thing where one bit is much larger than the other...didn't really work though. the left hand look like dog paws...=___= ;

哇,衣服還有細節都很好的說。

顏色也七彩繽紛,非常漂亮。

只是腿部和右手有些怪怪的喔,

建議再多多觀察。

草稿打完時要記得去檢查看看作品有無任何錯誤。

Hey cool, I read the first line and I thought... that reminds me of me! I'm like 3 weeks away from being a legal adult, and I have grown (not physically XD) and learned so much. However, I am still very childish, and actually it's not just "in my heart," it shows clearly... XDDDDD

When I looked at the uncolored sketch, I was a little worried, like "what's that stuffed animal doing there, it doesn't fit in with the rest of the picture!" And I was like, "I know aiki likes plushies in her pics but this has gone too far!" But now it makes sense.

I think it's easy to tell that the black things are butterflies!! And I don't think the left hand looks like a paw. The thing you are talking about when the side closest to the camera is a lot larger than the other is called foreshortening. And you're right, it its not in the pic, but I think that's good. Although I don't think the arms are the same length.

I loooove the texture on the dress and the clothes folds. One thing that could have helped the picture is... if there was some kind of stuff swirling/flying/spreading out around her that she was breaking out of that symbolizes the cocoon. (spelling?) also, I think the ear is a little awkwardly placed.

I like her hair color, reminds me of Ayumi Hamasaki *random* XDDD

XD maybe it's puberty, i just feel like growing up a lot, seeing thing differently. O_o when's your B-day? Maybe i could draw you a b-day present.

lol, you ARE right, i only drew the stuffed animal coz i felt like it, and the ideas came after i've finished the picture...=_= (i always do that.)

T_T yeah, that's the thing, foreshortening, i never figured it out.

The texture is a pattern overlay on photoshop. ^-^ I considered the twirling thing too, but it's too hard to do so i didn't bother.

My birthday is March 8th. If you drew a present, that's be cool! Thanks!! ^___^

Even if you do come up with ideas after you draw, at least they make sense, so it's okay.

rairy In reply to aiki-ame [2009-02-17 23:12:59 +0000 UTC]

Im glad that Im not the only one who think that way.
But since the overall artworks look great as usual, that alone can cover up the arms.
