Description
What better way to express yourself than your body?Sample work for my bandwagon "Mark Yourself" [link]
"The idea is simple. Draw yourself and use the body as a canvas. It can be a tattoo, a painting or writing... anything! Just express yourself with it. And it can be any part of the body... Legs, arms, face, tummy or the whole body itself. It must be a drawing of yourself!!! I don't want to be flooded with half nude photographs of bodies with paint all over .. ;_;"
So yeah.. this is my sample...
Uhmmm...
Explanations...
This is a mixed media drawing. Used pen, pencils, watercolor pencils, watercolor, and Kuricolor markers.
Uhm...
I was trying to express my art and individuality. I dont know if you can read it well but it's in red among those jumble of tribal design tattoos, the message "I am me". My "sign" is also there if you can find it. On her right arm is my username here "elithranielle". Kinda wanted a wound effect but don't know if I got it. On her left arm is a painting, with paint dripping from it. I also put a representation of each of the four elements, wind (right eye), water (under left eye), earth (right arm) and fire (right breast). Uhm... it has to do with the "Signs" project Im talking about. Anyway I dont think I need to explain why Im holding a brush.. >.> Background is a dulled mess of colors, and "splash paint" wings....
So yeah...
I hope you join the bandwagon..
pretty please?
Anyway...
Enjoy~

This is wonderful! I love the meaning behind each of the symbols, which are all drawn very beautifully. I especially like the design on her stomach. :] Every detail is wonderfully done! Great job!

It's an impressive piece. I like how the colors balance, and the play of elements theme you've got going is nice. Mystical without being fantasy, I guess.
The wings are a nice touch, but I've always been partial to wings.

The "I am me" part is hard to read if one doesn't knows it is there, but a great self-expression overall.
Loved how you mixed it with all elements, earth, fire, water, air, and also life (tree) and shadow (evil wings)
Roses very beautiful too ^^
And it passes some emotion too, it is as if she was really a goddess of the world, creator of all things with her paintbrush, very nice!
PS: Why don't you take a picture of yourself painted like that? 
(just kidding

Proud and confident. Lol. That doesn't sound like me at all...
The ideas just flowed in as I draw... That's totally not what I had in mind when I started. XD But I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
O.O hahahahahaha! I don't want to scare people that way..XDDD

I assure you, no one would be scared, quite the opposite in fact...
:3

Well, I guess your parents and brothers would be scared if they saw you painted like that
But besides that, I don't think so

I like the shape and the flow of this. It's a creative piece and looks great.

OOOOoooooh! I love how stylized this is! The organic expression of the elements blends seamlessly with the tribal designs and somehow even the wings. The flowers in your hair are a nice touch. Overall, this is a strong piece, I think. :3
The water dripping off the arm is exquisite by the by.
