Description
Another ACEO I made along with "Flora" [link]It was fun to color her, since she's all in blue
Butterflies were a pain in the ass, since there were many, and the paper was too small for detailing tiny butterflies >.>
My last ACEO for the moment, since I've been working on 2 larger drawings lately
Anyway, I hope you like her!
Medium: Colored pencils, white gel pen

I think htat you did a great job on the details considering the size of your paper. I like the veining in the wings and her dotted dress. And those butterflies are wonderful!

Sometimes you don't need a whole lot of detail to have a sweet picture. This is great!

Lovely lovely colors, willow ^_^ Overall the 4 types of major blues you've used combine very beautifully ^_^
Though I would like to point out a few things.
1. her lips are a bit too vivid. A mild red or a peach-ish pink would have worked nicely.
2. Her head is slightly too big compared to her shoulders. A shoulder = the width of a head so practically the entire length of the shoulders is 3 heads. Your shoulders are quite small.
3. The upper arms are slightly too thin compared to the head. They are a good length but I guess the elbow has slightly less flesh to make it seem as fitting the length.
4. the Lower part of the arm is too little. Put your palm on your shoulder. You'll see that your wrist will be at about the same length as your shoulder joint. You made her hands barely pass half her upper arm's length it makes her entire arms seem really small.
5. Her ears are a bit too small. The ear, note this, because I saw a lot of people tend to forget it, is almost the same length as the nose. Add to that the tip and the ear becomes longer and aspect wise larger
Oh and adding a bit of orange as complementary color (aside from skin color which practically is negligible) in a small quantity helps a lot in focusing eyes towards a part of the composition at first. Making blue in vast amounts would just tire the eye.
That was all and I really like the hands here. You are definitely improving. I hope I haven't been too rude. People tend to forget that I'm an forward speaking person and when I see a flaw I usually voice it.
