Description Digital painting done with Krita

This is my entry to latest contest! It was a nice opportunity to sharpen my digital drawing skills, but I have to say it took me ages to finish! xD because as always I'm a perfectionist T^T 
Oh well, now it's finished, I hope you'll like it^^

UPDATE

Guess what guys?! I WON THE FIRST PRICE!!!     I still can't believe it! I never win anything xD

Ah I'm afraid I won't be having so much time left to enter,I just got computer up and running again, still installing some drawings programs on it. Haven't really added the brushes I need on Krita yet. Going through Da eith the mobile phone is really a pain at times. XD
All the best to you in the contest, perhaps I'll enter some in future as well^^

Haha you're telling me XD , btw do you find Da getting more laggy nowadays? It's really getting harder for me to fave anything due to all the lags I'm having.

Booksdust In reply to Dzulkifli27 [2017-09-10 16:29:09 +0000 UTC]

yeah but for me is more a loading page problem...everytime I open a new page it takes a while to load and, if it doesn't, it tells me that there's a problem with my connection (even if I have plenty of it). and also sometimes I can't send messages to people, I have to try multiple times :/ I dunno I hope they solve these problems soon..

Dzulkifli27 In reply to Booksdust [2017-09-14 19:39:49 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I agree with you, hope it gets fix soon. I think it's not so bad now for me to fave stuff again, maybe it's cos I was faving too much or something.

Rubidium91 In reply to Booksdust [2017-09-09 10:20:04 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean babe, spending days/weeks on ONE PICTURE because damn there's a pixel out of place!*&/×÷%*;; (zooms in x1000 to perfect everything). It's really bad xD Something like this would take me a month Q_Q

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Booksdust In reply to Rubidium91 [2017-09-09 10:37:31 +0000 UTC]

yeah it's those damn pixels fault!! 
the thing that drives me mad is that when you zoom in you see all those little imperfections, but after zooming out you see litterally NOTHING! everything looks nice, but YOU KNOW there's that tiny spot in the upper right corner and you simply cannot leave it there!! but obviously nothing changes once you correct that mistake! it feels like working very hard to achieve nothing at all!!

Rubidium91 In reply to Booksdust [2017-09-09 10:39:39 +0000 UTC]

But we simply cannot let it be! XD We know it's there so it sticks in our minds, and we cannot rest until it is resolved! XD Tis a curse Q_Q

On an unrelated note, my black pencil is about 1cm long now, so I need new pencils for that picture lol xD Also, I forget I can't just ctr-z with coloured pencils, and it's hurting my soul Q_Q Also, please teach me your wisdom, senpai!?

Booksdust In reply to Rubidium91 [2017-09-09 11:01:30 +0000 UTC]

hahahaha well you can always use an eraser even though it doesn't work very well with coloured pencils :/
I wish I could, but I have very little experience with pencils, I'm sorry D: I never liked them that much, it's just too much effort to colour one section! with watercolours is easier, ou can do half of the page with one stroke!
but anyways, tell me what's the problem, maybe I can help you in some way

Rubidium91 In reply to Booksdust [2017-09-09 11:03:59 +0000 UTC]

It's just so big xD Building up those colours, and like doing the reflection n stuff xD When was the last time I even used these? Like a century ago! Still, this is what challenges are for, right?

Booksdust In reply to Rubidium91 [2017-09-09 11:10:07 +0000 UTC]

yeah...I'm sorry you have to suffer like this, but it was the same for me when I had to do mine :/
if you struggle with the reflection try to use a mirror and place it so that it reflects the upper side. then draw the reflection always checking in the mirror, maybe it helps .-.

Rubidium91 In reply to Booksdust [2017-09-09 11:11:38 +0000 UTC]

No it's not that, it's trying not to mess my colours up, and make it look like a reflection xD No going back once that colour is on the paper!
