Description Artificial beauty, is it real?

This is for my Design class for a magazine layout thing and this will be the cover image
It took me a gawd awful amount of time to sketch this out I'm not very good at using a reference for my suff XD I usually mess up ALL the time, her eyes look kinda wonkey and she doesn't look anything like the photo XD but in a way that can be a good thing XD

The flower is supposed to look somewhat artificial, but I am not very sure if I did that correctly.
Oh, and by taking the color from the flower and putting it in her eyes that was supposed to make a connection between the two and yeah o__x

Speaking of references I used the lovely *virgin-stock for my references for my sketch, which I should post as well...


Holy crap full view! The thumb looks BAD o__o

This is SO gorgeous, I can't even stand it!!! The flower is incredibly pretty and the girl's eyes and hair stand out well. This may be a weird question but, when you start drawing, wha do you work on first?

Ashwings In reply to PurpleRose93 [2006-08-19 02:36:35 +0000 UTC]

I start with the chin, then the head-shape, then the eyeballs 8D and then things usually go all random from there.

I start with the head shape, the whole body, then randomnessness.

wikivic [2006-08-01 15:07:35 +0000 UTC]

very lovely pic

i like the way the colour pallette is subtle, and the blue seems to glow through the greys...

(i kinda thought her eyes were a little wonky...but to be honest it didn't really make a difference, as some people's eye are like that anyway...i mean people's faces are so much more individual than a lot of artists draw them i think)

the title suits it too - the flower does have an artificial edge, probably because of the colour choice (i don't think you get many flowers that colour?)

HisOwnShoes [2006-03-10 03:36:24 +0000 UTC]

That looks absolutely amazing, I love how effective the little bit of colour in it became. Btw, did you intentionally create the "Planet of the Apes" monkey face at the bottom, with the leaf for the mouth/nose, the hair curl for the eye, and the stalk of the plant to outline the face?

(hold your hand over the top half if you can't see it)

HisOwnShoes In reply to Ashwings [2006-03-11 02:41:33 +0000 UTC]

Keep looking, it's right at the bottom. At least, I think it was. Or maybe I just thought I saw it because of the secondhand crack smoke filtering in from my building's hallway....

3ggy [2006-03-09 10:02:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the flower doesn't looks artificial enough, could have had more of those blue "wire" lines. But it as well drawn in my opinion, even if the eyes are supposedly wonky
