Description

Pen, water colors, some lipstick I, at first, unintentionally dabbed onto the picture, and the magic of Photoshop.




A warm welcome to you guys over at Gimme Feedback! Thanks for taking the time to check this piece out and critique it! I don't want this to sound like a copout, but I have a sort of broad, "can't put my finger on it" issue with this picture. I feel like there something wrong with it, but I can't figure out what, and it's eating my up inside. Eating me up like a Grue.

Like.

A.

Grue.

Any tips would be incredibly helpful! Help me put an end to this pain

I like it! Nice pun too ~



Something wrong with it?

: /

Hard to say...

It's art; totally subjective.

If I may ask? When you look over your work here, is there a certain part of the page that increases your unease?

Personally, I find her eyes a bit disconcerting, but that's just me.

Nice concept! And the lipstick is really unique and effective. It makes me want a little more subtle detail, especially around the faces, though. Mostly the stylised look is awesome, but I somehow expect more there. I don't know enough to explain better than that, I'm afraid, and I don't know if I'm right anyway, but maybe that could help. I like the feel of where this piece is going, it just doesn't feel like it's quite arrived yet.

You’ve hit the nail on the head! That’s precisely my conundrum! I feel like there should be something more, but I can’t put my finger on what Perhaps more definition on the faces will do it, like you’ve said. I’ll definitely be adjusting some things soon.

Thank you so much for your critique! I really appreciate it!

Gorgeous. The splashes of pink are what make his so eye-catching and fun... lipstick you say?

The neck seems a bit long to me, though that can easily be stylistic; her ribcage also seems a bit too broad for her shoulders. I love the thick lines of her eyes and face, though!

K-L-ee In reply to StarlitSkvader [2010-05-24 16:41:04 +0000 UTC]

Yup, lipstick. While I was drawing, I must have touched my lip and then touched the paper, and it left a pink mark on the bird's face. I thought it looked pretty sweet, so I continued :'D If you look closely, you can sort of see my finger print on her left cheek.

Yeah, the ribcage is definitely too broad. That's always been a problem for me--conecting torsos and arms I desperately need some anatomy lessons D: But the long neck is stylistic. I tend to draw bodies longer and thinner than they would be naturally. It's sort of odd... If you know the golden ration rectangle, I find rectangles that are longer and thinner than the golden ration more attractive. I imagine that has something to do with it...

Thank you for the fav and the comment! I appreciate it!

Completely understandable - I tend to draw anime style, which gives a long, leggy look, and girls with thick thighs and wider hips - so if I try to draw a thin girl, or shorter proportions, it comes out weird.

This is a good resource for anatomy - [link]
And this is good for putting it all in poses - [link]

FFFF, thank you! I've always preferred drawing smaller boobs, and I used to get flack from the other artist girls back in middle school for it Anyway, I just sort of thought that anything larger would have overwhelmed the other details of the picture, but I'm really glad that there's a "Different women, different body types" point of view of this
