Description
After a pretty harsh winter for me, this week had all the trees and bushes blooming. The weather was just perfect; the breezes were soft and warm and the air smelled like flowers. It was pretty spectacular and I felt like it needed to be personified. This is my entry for the Rising Artist Prompt Challenge #28 - The Elements .This is part of my quest to get a better handle on mediums other than my go-to mechanical pencil so any feedback or tips would be greatly appreciated!
I used this beautiful reference from the phenomenal stock account of Bellastanyer-STOCK .
Colored Pencil and Pen on 11"x14" Bristol.

It's very pretty, detailed and realistic! But I've two suggestions: eyebrows are thick, try to make them more slim, and make-up are too dark, it's a little problem with this type of eyebrows.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that I went a little too dark on the eyeshadow, especially.

Beautiful! The way the hair intertwines and curls is a feast for the eyes. The colouring/shading on the skin is so smooth and natural. I think the eyes are on the verge of being overworked though, but the rest of the face is stunning.
This style reminds me of Alphonse Mucha's work, were you inspired by him?

Hi - thanks for the feedback! I see what you mean with the eyes, I was trying to replicate the eye shadow in the reference photo and it just got away from me!
It wasn't intentionally inspired by him but I'm a big fan of Mucha's and I'm not surprised his style crept in!

I think it's wonderful. Great linework, nice clean and crisp. Coloring is not anywhere near my thing but yours looks great. Good luck with the contest.

Yeah, I much prefer to work in graphite as well. Thank you for your kind words!
