Description Aaaaand I submit another deviation. D:

Aaaaand I place the leaves on the cherries in the wrong place because I didn't know where they were supposed to go and when I asked him he was like "Yeah, they go right near the froot, not at the top! :B" DD: Liar! D:<

Aaaaand, ehh. yeah. Uh, well, uhm... ugh.

This piece, if you couldn't already tell, is based off of [link] It was supposed to be another design but it started to become less designey as I got more into it. lol. I kinda like the turnout.... kinda. There's always room for self-critique for you to scold me about.

Lesse. The face is too long... WAY too long. The colors are screwed up, the tanktop was done crappily, the stupid star in the corner is badly done, the leafy things are too vibrant for the rest of the picture so the colors don't go together, the cherries are physically deformed, her hair sucks, the hands did take a while because I used an anatomy book as reference but they suck because I've never done good at hands, her head is too large for her body, her waist, or at least what you can see of her waist, is really disproportional, the ladybugs are too teeny and invisible and I should have added more, the BG should have been darker, her right arm needs a bit of work, the purple I used to shade the skin disappeared while I was touching it up so it looks less round... ehh. The strategy I'm trying to have here, well, since I recieved massive critique once I recieved my DD, I've been discouraging critique on all my pieces because I want to try and evaluate what's wrong with my artwork on my own without any help, well, some help. It's actually working. ;D

Actually this was a totally random drawing... I was just trying to get over artblock. xD My dad keeps insisting that this looks good, but I'm not entirely proud of the result. My color choices suck majorly. D: I never get color critique. One of my friends keeps insisting that my stuff should be colored dark red. xDD Plus she loves seeing pictures of Kashuu. I don't draw him as much as I used to... ehh. I should. I should draw more SL charries and explain the story sometime after the contest is over... okay, well, enjoy!

MATERIALS USED: Sakura Micron 05 (? or was it 08?) black inking pen, 05 pink inking oen, Copic Multiliner 05 I think, Copic Sketch Markers, Prismacolor white charcoal pencil, all done on bristol board.

PS: No offense to anyone who thinks this, but who do people keep telling me they like my colored pencil works? I haven't used colored pencil in ages. D;

you are really so precise at what you are doing, i couldnt believe at first (until i saw the other ones) that this is one of your less appreciated pieces! keep it comming
if i were you i would add something at the right side of the girl to make the composition more balanced...but its only my little tip

Mew-Sumomo In reply to olkie [2007-01-23 06:20:12 +0000 UTC]

Heh, thanks! ^^ Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Her left side has a bit too much emphasis compared to the right. Still, thanks! I just need to work on balance a bit more.

Ahhhh your coloring is so amazing~~ Maybe people think it's colored pencil because the colors are blended so smoothly...you definitely handle markers really well

I especially lovethe background, especially the blue/green "streaky-ness". Very expressive

Navarre-Sojourner [2007-01-10 04:26:44 +0000 UTC]

I think you've been way too critical on your own art here. The colors are great, as well as identifiable as your own style, no real critiques to say there. The pallet you used goes well together. If anything, I'd say change the tone of the leaves/flowers in the background just enough to distinguish it from the foreground (similar to the star).

For the girl herself, I'd say the prortions aren't so off in the size of her head (a fair bit is explained away by the bulk of her hair), but rather that her face is too thin; if you had drawn the face just a bit wider, it would have the same general flow as the rest of her body.

I like the way you drew her arms and shoulders. You may not have intended it to be so, but it gives her a realistic appearance as a figure, with a little more meat on her bones than most anime style figures have. She's a well-fed and healthy girl in a land of anorexic twigs, and certainly stylish and pretty. And no, she would not look fat like that, just realistic.

Thanks for the tips! Yeah, faces are becoming more of a problem for me since I draw them too skinny... x_X Ah well, I'll work on that bit. xD As for the semi-realistic thing, I'm trying to make my style a bit more realistic in an attempt to try and bypass the normal standards of what anime/manga art kind of is. I don't really like to draw super-skinny chicks sometimes anymore, plus I'm trying to add more realistic details to my characters to make them look less cartooney and to try and improve my anatomy a bit as well. I think it's working actually, considering my older works from several months ago had some tremendous deformities to them. DX But still, thank you!

Her body and outfit both look so nice. I like how she has more body on her, um, body. That came out weird. Anyway, you design clothing well. This is colored very well too.

About the pencils...the only thing I can think of is that what they're looking at is actually that old. I remember seeing one artist's old stuff and my butt fell off from the goodness of it, then I saw the new stuff, and all of my clothing got knocked off from the sheer awesomeness of it all. (O_O)

Well, the strange thing is that the only deviations I actually used colored pencils is [link] and maybe [link] which is a really old one. D: Otherwise I was still a semi-beginner at markers once I joined dA. I wonder...

Aww, this is such a cute piece. It looks very shoujo-ish, especially with the bright colors and face. The hair looks great, and the shirt is so cute! I really hope you make a tutorial on backgrounds, this one looks amazing. *o*

One thing that kind of distracted me was the size/positioning of her hands, but you discouraged critique so I won't go furthur into that. It's hardly noticiable, actually. ^^ , it's just too adorable~

xDD The title was actually random since I can't seem to come up with good titles but it did look a little, ehm, sweet-ish to me. xD 'Specially with the cherries, although they don't really look ripe enough. xDD I have a friend named Grace (~keyuKats ) too and she likes sugary things only she's in my grade.

The only thing wrong with the tank top though that I can is see that you put to many lines, makes her look linda chubby. But it's ok to have a little meat on your bones right?

I know you say no critique desired, but I have to disagree with what you said. The head actually looks in proportion. The only thing that looks particularly off are the arms. One looks bigger than the other. Or is that one is smaller than the other?
