size: A4 media: Koh-I-Noor pencils H-8B, Stabilo Point 88 fineliners time: approx. 7h reference photo: twiggxstock.deviantart.com/art… the title: Florence + The Machine "Blinding" [I may change it later as I'm not sure if it fits the drawing]About the drawingLook! I got creative and uncreative at the same time
I mean, the designs of the swirls aren't mine, but the composition, colours, the choice of the picture etc. is my idea. A bit different than my usual portraits, right? What made me draw this kind of work? Well, at the end of June I received a set of 25 fineliners from Stabilo. My task was to test them - this is one of a few works I prepared especially for the review [I'm sorry it'll be avaiable only in Polish]. Editing this work in Photoshop took hours
The colours didn't turn out as they are in real, especially the one between dark blue and light blue. I tried to make them as close to original as possible.Thank you for the feedback in advance

Thank you kindly for taking your time to write this lovely critique, I appreciate it! I'm very happy that you like my drawing so much. You're very right about the direction she should be looking to, I should have drawn her head directed to the right! It's a pity I didn't do that D:

The profile portrait is great, the details of light and shadow on the skin as well as the exact painted hair. Its also the characterized mood of the model, its not friendly but serious and adapted to the headline of this painting.
I'm confused by the background as coloured artificial flower of a tapecery. These flowers transfer the portrait in another world and modifies the mood. In my opinion the flower make the impact of the strong face weak. Perhaps you could select a background which support the expression of the face more or skip the background, not just white like snow but a unique tone?

Thanks for understanding the visitors different view on the background. You mean the dreams are now in the colour and swirls and your model can get the dreams back?

Sure
Yeah, colourful swirls are like dreams here, but actually the girl doesn't want them anymore, she wants to keep her both feet on the ground

Włosy są przefantastyczne!
I ten kolorowy ornament! Nie wiem, jakie barwy ma w oryginale, ale na moim moniotorze wyglądają naprawdę pięknie i bardzo dobrze komponują się z ołówkową postacią.
IMO skórze przydałoby się więcej światła.

Bardzo dziękuję za tak miłe słowa Najbardziej różni się drugi kolor od dołu, ale poza tym pozostałe barwy są w miarę zbliżone do oryginału 
Masz na myśli większy kontrast [wzmocnić czernie, więcej bieli] czy więcej bieli przy obecnej stonowanej szarości?

Ba, Twoje prace zasługują na same zachwyty!
Wredne, wredne skanery. Psują wizję artystyczną!
Chyba to drugie.

Ależ mi słodzisz
Niestety! To jeden z powodów, dla których nie jestem wielką entuzjastką tworzenia w kolorze... skanowanie mnie dołuje
Aha. No niestety to niemożliwe
