Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


I was really caught by this piece - I mean, really caught. The colour and form of the bust caught me immediatly from the pin up browsing - I had to see it.

Firstly, we're gonna look at vision. You've used bright warm colours which direactly contrast against the grey/blue eyes, being cold colours, this causes a point of contrast withint he piece, almost as though reflecting the personality of the subject and thus an inner anger, upset or even heart break. The light in this image is just lovely; you brighten the soft skin tones, draw tonal lines into the hair and bring futher life to the already bouncy colours - you emphises upon tone barriers, making a definitive point of presepction to the piece.

Secondly, orginality - it's obviously a potrait, though its the traditional type of potriat (head/shoulder bust facing the viewer with a level of direaction) I think it would have been interesting to see something... more dramatic, I suppose; defiantly it would have been nice to see you play around with ideas of the portrait rather than front appeal. Though, it's still effective and stunning either way.

Thridly, techinque. The new ability of digital art has utterly alluded me, I don't touch it personally with a yard pole, but when others produce some real snazzy stuff it becomes a true inspiration to give it ago; you do exactly this. You transfer the techinques that are seen in traditional oil paintings, also. THe overlayer colour (the skin tones primarly to produce different areas of light and dark) and creating contrast through tonal apperance in different areas is just brilliant. T he light area of the hair particularly is dashing, the lighagreen tine o the tona aea is just great though I personally feel that the really deep shades of brown need a tad of more highlighting - but that's only personal. Otherwise i think you're tonal mark making is stunning.

Impact? Impact is astonishing - she stares into your soul, she makes the viewrs feel something; after all thats the point of art.

Your crit is too nice.
I agree, it is boring for her to just be standing there and staring... there should be more to it!
You pointed out things I didn't even know were there like the color scheme; to tell you the truth I just randomly picked out some colors and hoped they would play nice together...
Your critique is a work of art in itself, btw. So majestically written
Thank you so so much!

haha, I know what it's like you just pick out stuff and hope for the best uh? :') tbh i love writting critiques, because I have to analyse art like this all the time in my degree its annoying / cool, makes you look at stuff deeper and that yknow? Anyways, I really enjoyed your piece, it was simply beauitiful.

I can't analyze anything at all. Heck, I barely pay attention to my own surroundings (other than when driving >_> )and am just in a blank grey daze half the time...
Thank you again for your critique. This site needs more writers like you!

You should pay more attention to the ears while drawing, her left ear looks like a pinch of chewed meat in this picture.

heehee chewed meat
I agree! Ears are my new enemy now. I still don't understand them at the moment, like noses a few months back . Got to go and reference/sketch/paint them until my ears fall off!

Thank you

Yeah, your nose drawings really improved a lot. You should study some ears right away. You're welcome, keep on drawing.

Its a dot that refuses to die and I have no clue which layer its on. Theres only three layers, but it wont erase or dissappear when the layer is hidden
