I'm having very washed out red and overgrown hair, but I really had purple dye at that time...it's more than couple of years, now I love purple, most of the things around me are purple or redAnyway, it used to be quite good portrait...but no longer I didn't know how to paint smiling people...Thankies for fave

This deviation really stood out to me. So much character comes through in this! And lovely colors. Well done.

Thank you very much!I'm also very satisfied with it, despite i'm able to draw smile better now.It's the first acceptabe portrait of myself -I made one before but I didn¨t like how it went out.

More than acceptable, I'd say!
I think the smile looks great anyhow.

Yes,I think I'm that critic just cause I know that I'm smilling little differently in reality, but agree with you-it doesn't look like mistake
Thank you

True, it's easy to be self-critical. I'm the worst offender!
Haha That's like what my piano teacher always told me. "Nobody is familiar with classical music anymore, so act confident and nobody will notice you making mistakes!"

Queen Mo,
I'm glad you like night photos. When I lived in Europe I used to try to take a nice one at each place to which I traveled. I began DA because I wanted to share these photos. After a year or two I ran out of night photos that were good enough to share. Then I started posting other photos, calligraphy, and even writing.
I don't have the skill and talent to create a painting as you have done here. I respect your ability. You've done a great job! -Gianni

Oh,damn you had to have really a lot of photos!Two years!

thank youI'm very happy you like my paintings.It's always nice to know other like it-so I'm not painting just for myself

anyway,good luck with photos!

Gianni36 In reply to great-queen-morrigan [2011-10-11 16:09:42 +0000 UTC]

I actually have thousands of photos of places that I visited in Europe. I think about 2% are ones that I might want to submit to DA.
Yes, please continue to paint and submit your work. The more you do the better you get I think.

I personaly started taking photos cause of paintingWhen i was younger I usually wanted father or somebody else to take photo of interesting scene i liked, but they usually took it differently than i wanted or spoiled it by taking ppl to the pictures..besides they usualy didn't give me that photo aso I started making my own photoreferencesBut lately i realized that photos are made much more quicklier than paintings so I'm afraid most of my references will stay photos foreverso i'm submiting them from time to time

I definitely, will-some sketches in progres, than one nadscape painting and idea for ilustration-still in sketch phaseso you can look forward

I think you will!It's matter of practisewhat's boringNow I'm better in portraits than in time Imade this one(lips are incorrect), but I was drawing portraits last 4 months and it was worthy of work.It's my second selfportrait, but first which is acceptable

AnaturalBeauty In reply to great-queen-morrigan [2011-03-11 20:10:44 +0000 UTC]

thank you very much! I'm good at drawing the body but the faces are always what are hard for me. And hands can be difficult too....

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

great-queen-morrigan In reply to AnaturalBeauty [2011-03-12 21:35:46 +0000 UTC]

Yes, people usualy don't like drawing hands, cause they are difficult.I in difference have problems with legshands ar ok.I had to redraw them again and again when I haven't reference.
I tend to drawing body too stiff in my opinion.

AnaturalBeauty In reply to great-queen-morrigan [2011-03-13 19:31:26 +0000 UTC]

ah... usually you don't hear of people having trouble with legs... but just work at it. I draw anime and characters so much better than real people... I need to work on that. I like to draw animals and plants though and those never look cartoon-like... I guess it just depends on how much you practice. Best of luck to you!

great-queen-morrigan In reply to AnaturalBeauty [2011-03-13 23:24:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes it's kinda unusual...haha..quite funny is that I haven't only trouble with drawing legs-I also have real troubles with my kneeNice similarity
I think it's about practise-you are emproving it kind of art you are doing the most.I for example nit very good in cartoon and animals.But the practice isn't so time consuming all the time-frequently one 2 or 3 pictures are needed and you can see emprovement.

Good luck and good luck in art to you too

this is a particularly nice painting, full of spontaneity, far better than you seem to realise, and much more than just a "sketch" as you call it
