Description **Edit**
Since that I didn't like this one very much I moved it to scraps since I know that other people like it.
**End of Edit**

I'm doing a series of colors and kimonos. This is the first one, red. Eh...I'm not that fond of it...I mean I don't mind the pose but I really don't like the coloring. I think it sucks but oh well. I also wish it had a better background but what done is done and I don't have the energy to re-do it. So I hope you like.

Red
Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a color found in many national flags.

Red brings text and images to the foreground. Use it as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions; it is a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons on Internet banners and websites. In advertising, red is often used to evoke erotic feelings (red lips, red nails, red-light districts, 'Lady in Red', etc). Red is widely used to indicate danger (high voltage signs, traffic lights). This color is also commonly associated with energy, so you can use it when promoting energy drinks, games, cars, items related to sports and high physical activity. In some cultures red represents joy, purity, and celebration.

Light red represents joy, sexuality, passion, sensitivity, and love.
Pink signifies romance, love, and friendship. It denotes feminine qualities and passiveness.
Dark red is associated with vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, malice, and wrath.
Brown suggests stability and denotes masculine qualities.
Reddish-brown is associated with harvest and fall.

Very pretty. The arms seem a bit long, though. And I think the coloring would look better if you tried to smooth out the shading a little more, but I also know how much of a pain shading with red can be without making it look too pink. Overall, I'd say it looks good

Well I think her arms are ok...it's just the shading I don't like...but that's what happens when you don't draw for a couple months...you get rusty. I need to draw more but haven't been inspired enough lately. But thanks!
