Description
Um. Mother Nature's teenage daughter? I guess?Can't believe I didn't upload this, I usually include it in any "look at my pretty works" area... This is oooold - from 2001. I was working in an art supply store at the time, and this was in an art show that a bunch of the employees took part in. Someone wanted to buy it, but my mom wanted it and refused to let me sell it. It's still in our house somewhere.
... You know, this is one of the oldest things in this gallery, and I'm over it. There's a lot of places where it's not quite right, and given the opportunity, I might just redraw it. And yet, it's the piece of art that gets the most compliments. I don't get that. You people are weird.
Marker for the skin, colored pencil and gel pen for everything else.

The idea for this picture is wonderful. I really like it. But I have some helpful hints for this, not meant with any sorta maliciousness!
1. Your shading is very light, try darkening it up a bit and not just darkening, lighting too. I've found it helps when you start with a basic color and use an eraser to lighten up some places, after which you go back and darken others, creating a 3-D real effect.
2. The body, tough anatomically correct, lack any movement. It's a still life sorts thing. The face shows a lot of emotion but the body doesn't. It's not a good mesh.
That's all I saw ^_^ And I know you probably already know this stuff and are better at it, but I had to put my two cents in!
I would love to see the re-drawing of this picture!!!!!!!!!!

Even for an old piece, you show a fantastic costuming style.

The outfit is really unique in design, and I like it alot. Her arm is a little too short, but it is old so go figure. And I loooooove the shades of coloring in her hair and the roses.

beautiful work wiht the markers. i likehte texture it gives.
I think her collar bone/ neck area is a bit under defines. the anatomy seems a bit weak, iwould also liketo see abit more definition to her face shape. her arms seem a bitto even in width all over too. not critical tho.
i love the way the fabric is over her body nadhte vines are very nice. i lovethe ruppled craggly look to them. i realyl like her hair as well. its got a reallywild naturistic texture to it ^^

Gorgous concept. I love the fade to the hair color - it adds a nice effect. I enjoy the shading as well. I've usually seen the other way around where people use colored pencils for the skin and markers for the hair (because they think the markers are too bold. bah.), so this is a nice change of pace. The only thing that seems kind of awkward is the right hand and arm. I think it might just be the way the arm is shaded, though.

**I don't seem to like her eyes and hands. Maybe her eye color should be a bit lighter so it doesn't blend so much with her hair. Great picture though anyway.**
