Hello, here is the critique! Please reply if you have some other questions or disagree with something, I'll do my best! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="26" height="17" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="276" title="Love"/> e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="357" title="Heart"/>

First off, let me start with a WOAH WHAT A GORGEOUS BLUE! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="556" title="Noes!"/> I absolutely love the tones you used here, it reminds me of ink, perhaps a deep blue well suited for forests, nights, and deep thoughts! The brush work on it is also superbly done, the grass is magnificent! You did very well by bringing in a contrast between the light blue grass and the dark ground part the girl is sitting on. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="577" title="La la la la"/> The water and front grass are well positioned as well!
- One thing I would like to add is, that while the colours are ahwesome, it gets a bit intense for the eyes if I look for 15 minutes continuously. It's rather a suggestion related to preferences, but adding some more colours (such as purple-brown for the trees, orange for some flowers there and there?) will perhaps make it more captivating. Although it does have its own charm for such gorgeous blue! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="577" title="La la la la"/>

Forest
- The perspective is really really good! I like how they're fading in thin blue colour. The light source is mysterious and definitely a good touch!
- There is one colour I find it doesn't fit : the ...potion-ish green! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="93" title="XD"/> I also have a piece which is composed only with green & deep blue and I really don't like it e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="21" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="51" title="Laughing my ass off!"/> I find they're too different somehow, that they're not destined with each other...e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="21" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="598" title="Sad dummy"/> To fix this issue, I've tried gradually including green by brushing fristly with light blue >> turquoise/ cyan >> light green >> lime green >> yellow-ish green e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="577" title="La la la la"/> This is merely a suggestion.

Character
I must say her hair is gorgeously done! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="26" height="17" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="276" title="Love"/> The skin is shaded beautifully and with a good colour, not too plain, not very catchy but fitting in the environment! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="577" title="La la la la"/>
- Position-wise : here are some things you might want to look out for! Her skirt folds and legs make us think she's about to stand. Perhaps the legs should go further inside the grass part to make her look more stable.
- The eyes : She looks a bit like she isn't looking at the bird, but in front of her. The eyes look forced, I suggest distancing and perhaps shaping them like (basically the \ line is the nose, the < are the eye outlines) :

( <\<) and not ( <\> )

Lastly, the birdie needs a bit more clarification, you could easily do that by detailing less the background surrounding it, adding shine to the bird, or lining it! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="577" title="La la la la"/>

I hope this was helpful in a way or another! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="488" title="Thanks for everything!"/> Don't hesitate to ask for clarifications! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="38" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="160" title="Hug"/>

Happy arting, you have gorgeous pieces! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/d… " width="29" height="28" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="573" title="I love deviantART!"/>

It's kinda hard to see. I suggest you increase the contrast in the future

luililie In reply to rinpana [2014-06-17 07:34:03 +0000 UTC]

She kinda blends with the background, which makes her hard to see

rinpana In reply to luililie [2014-06-17 07:52:26 +0000 UTC]

Ooh right! Yes, it was my intention of her blending her in with the colors of the backgrounds (making her out of place is worse). Sorry it's hard for her to see (assuming you're talking about Lilly). Thank you for your comment though!
