it's so rare to see traditional media these days.. at least for me. you did a great job. one thing i would recommend, even though it's too late, i think you should've made her right arm stand out more, it looks like it's part of her hair. but other than that, there's a calming and happy element behind this picture that i like :]

sorry for late reply yuor comment. yeah it's like lots of people noted her right arm. i took wrong base colour, should have more different from the hairs sometimes watercolour become so hard to do

I like. Though I wish that the skin and the hair were slightly different in color, especially around her left arm, because it looks like she doesn't have an arm with how it blends into the hair.

lotusbiru In reply to clockwork-madness [2010-11-25 15:12:52 +0000 UTC]

thanks. yeah i should have put some different colour. i put wrong base colour, they were really similiar, hair and skin colors. then when i put some different colour, it not really gave signifficant look.

Oh how pretty! This is really lovely and evocative with her sunny expression and flowing hair and ribbon. I love the way you’ve handled the sky, leaving it blotchy against the smoothness of the rest of the painting. Her hair is really well done - the subtle variations in value are very nice. I think however, having her hair and skin so close in color takes away from the overall effect. Her expression is really dear, but i can get lost surrounded by hair that’s so similar in color to her skin. Also, Something about her hand is a little off - it looks to large for her arm. Other than that, I would possibly suggest softening the grass a bit further, just so it doesn’t compete with the loveliness of her hair. It’s such a sweet painting, and a few more touches will make it really glow.

i really like the way you've done the hair and it looks happy xD it reminds me very much of One Piece artwork, that is a compliment if you're not so much a OP fan shading's really good as well but the style of shading you've used isn't consistent throughout, like sometimes cross hatching and sometimes not like on her face and on her clothes.

nice xD

This is beautiful, The colours are so vibrant. I particularly like the hair and the textures. One thing I will say is that for a split second, I thought she had only one arm!! Apart from that, a beautiful piece.

Pandemoniumswings [2010-10-07 01:24:43 +0000 UTC]

I really enjoy the sense of emotion in this piece and I recognize the constant flow of the wind that is followed throughout the entire piece, this is very good technical skill use. I also like how you didn't shy away from landscape depth and detail.

Any flaws here are due to lack of concentration discipline (which is learned through tenure) and proper lighting understanding. I find that the values in this piece are all rather similar and this is a common mistake that young artists make. By keeping all the color too similar you dull the picture and the emotion and meaning can be lost. By laying on the shadows in covered areas you can bring out the line definition and colors. It's important to never shy away from value extremes, getting the full range breathes life into art. I also dislike the lack of variety in the grass towards the background, normally grass is flecked with browns/black/blues/ and other greens, imperfections after all, is what creates beauty.

After that, I find this piece very warm and lovely.

many thanks for your critique. i really appreciate it.
i found some flaws in this picture too,
but by your critique, i notice more and more parts that i have to do better
(yes i'm so terrible drawing grass, since first time i draw. )
and i realize that i haven't practice a lot for these years

I does has that summer feeling all over it. I can imagine the nice warm breeze she's feeling.
My only critique for this one could be the placement of the character, her elbow is cut off..
And to even improve this summer feeling, a bigger canvas with more sky would do just that. ^^

lotusbiru In reply to Suzanne-Helmigh [2010-10-06 13:40:37 +0000 UTC]

thx for your crit
yes i messed up eith her elbow and right arm. it was an error while colouring
first time occured in my mind was i want to draw some kind of emotion
then i thought that it would be nice if i add summer atmosphere (though i never feel summer, i live in tropic)LOL
hmm...you're right, if i did it in bigger canvas, it will be more sky and grasses
*forgive my english, it seems terrible*

Ah, this is such a sweet and pretty style you've got going here, it's a painting that really make you happy, and I love he textured look of the paper, especiually in the sky-area.
Some things that could be improved though.. The hand looks a bit off, but I don't really think that matters. I'm looouuussyyyy at hands myself.
Other than that, her right arm sort of disappears into her hair, and for a split second I actually thought she was one-armed. Maybe the arm could have been more distinguished somehow.
