Description Just a fast sketch I did today at a meeting with that I refined and decided to add a few colors to. I just realized just how difficult watercolors are and just how important the paper is.
It's really nothing special and kinda fast done, but I thought I'd share it, since it is my first "finished" colored drawing in a very long time (7-8 months I think >.< ).

Bottom line - need more practice with watercolors (and pay more attention to anatomy <.< )

PS: Even though it was random, this surely shows that I've been watching a wedding dress buying reality show ("Say YES to the dress" from Discovery Travel&Living). It started just as a ball dress, but somehow it turned into a wedding dress with a very blueish tint
And no, it wasn't meant to be Kallisto - it just turned out looking like her (she was wavier and longer hair though)

Reference: [link] (though it turned out nothing like it)

eu nu cred ca mai am ce adauga, avand in vedere ca au vorbit atat de mult despre desen si s-au cam spus criticile.
aaanywho, i all i can say is that rael dancing would be as funny as hell.

Ce legatura are Rael cu asta? ?
Si nu e Kallisto - parul nu e asa wavy si partea de sus e complet diferita

Mie mi se pare ca ai facut o treaba buna in special la falduri. Pielea arata binisor, desi mergea ceva mai multa gradatie, same goes for the hair. dar in afara de colorat imi place mult cum arata modelul, iar pozitia e foarte expresiva.

Stii ca nu-mi place sa exagerez - mai ales la acuarela si mai ales cand lucrez mic. La piele in special mi-e frica sa n-o dau in bara.

Ma bucur mult ca ti-a placut, desi e mai mult o schita colorata rapid

O.O I hate you so much for the folds in her dress! I would never be able to make something like that. Then again, I am incapable of using watercolor so.... >.<

Dare I say she looks like a bride?

seandreea In reply to Lucifielle [2009-07-12 10:59:22 +0000 UTC]

The folds are just random - me messing around - you should ask Pfeil how I was scribbling across the paper randomly, not knowing where I'll get. And with the watercolors I just painter the inside of the folds first and then hated how it looked so raw so I added a very thin layer of the same color with a lot of water and tried to blend it in a bit. Zau ca nu e mare filozofie
I really suck at watercolors. Am multe de experimentat.

Yeah, she does - am scris asta si in descriere. Oricum nu e Kallisto, parul e complet diferit - doar ca e lung si roscat.

Ah, lol! I must have missed that particular part >.<

Still, I really like how the dress came out ^^

I love her dress!
Tipa merita un background, cat de simplut, numa' sa fie. Are un aer atat feminin, cat si nobil si autoritar. Luv it!

Pentru ca am dat-o in bara cand coloram parul si am scapat pensula cu rosu peste ea

Thankies

ca pozitie pare ok. narile nu sunt asa decat la cei cu nasul in vant si nu prea e estetic imi plac ochii (ochiul ) si buzele

parul arata ciudat, mai ales in zona umarului, nu are continuitate si albul cu care ai vrut sa faci lumina o imbatranesc teribil - arata ca fire albe de par. in general nu sunt de acord cu lumina alba pe obiecte colorate si aici chiar nu da bine.

apropo, in tehnica acuarela nu se foloseste pigment alb - "albul" vine de la transparenta culorii - poti sa faci o pictura in tehnica acuarela si cu tempera. folosirea albului, ca pigment e caracteristica picturii in guasha, tempera, ulei, acrilic. poti sa le folosesti si al acuarela, dar obtii un efect necaracteristic acestor culori - obtii un efect de guasha - e un pigment intre acuarela si tempera - e folosit pentru schite sau ca prima faza a unui tablou in tempera - faza peste care se poate sari in functie de stilul fiecaruia

nu e o critica - just shearing info with you

p.s.: cand fac ceva in acuarela si vreau sa folosesc alb, prefer pasta de la tusul alb fiindca iese mai clar si stralucitor albul - asa se amesteca cu restul culorilor si iese "murdar" - astept sa se usuce startul anterior intai si nu folosesc apa sau foarte putina - cand dau cu alb

multumesc mult

Nu prea inteleg ce ai vrut sa spui cu nasul, dar imi arati cand ne vedem.
Cat despre alb, chiar stiam asta dar nu am reusit sa mai pun umbre si era prea monoton. Nu stiu sigur cum ar fi iesit alb pur, dar oricum nu am apucat sa cumpar tus alb
Recunosc ca nu am gandit mare lucru cat am colorat asta (nici cat am desenat de fapt ) si se cam vede . Dar simteam nevoia de un desen colorat, dupa atata timp. Clar mai experimentez un pic pana trec la desenul ala de pe A3 pe care tot vreau sa il colorez. Nu vreau sa il stric.
