This is absolutely gorgeous. Fantastically executed, and very good colour usage. Very interesting composition made it pop out completely in the watch list. There are plenty of interesting details that require a closer look. The horns for example and the feathers are stunning.

Now that we're done with the drooling, let's go a little more in-depth xD

FACE: Even though I really like the face overall, there's a small detail that doesn't suit the hole vibe, which is the dark eye colour. It's not that I dislike the design choice, far from it. The problem is that the slight vignette effect in the lower region draws the viewer's attention to the centre of the painting, and the excessive darkness in that area makes, once again, their focus fade to the upper part of the frame. Sadly, this is not where the beauty of the painting lies. This could be resolved by either adding a slightly darker shading in the top, or by cropping some of the empty space up top.

COLOUR USAGE: This is why I gave your painting 5 stars in the impact section. The colours used are extremely harmonious, and go very well together. This makes it pop a lot more to the eye, and it's the reason why I wanted to the request.

Hope you didn't find it too negative, remember that my initial reaction was to drool xD

Thank you for your criticism.
Although there are negative opinion they remain good to take, I like to have an outside opinion ^^ And I didn't find it too negative btw
I also find having left too much space at the top of the image, but I don't have took the time to remedy it, want to move to another illustration
And for the black eyes, I wanted to try something other than white eyes, just like that. I might be go further.
Thank you again

Yeah, but there's nothing to remedy. For example, the way you cropped your profile picture is out-standing, so that little detail can make a big improvement xD

I love the way how you transformed the lady on the photo in this amazing character. The details you added like the makeup, piercings or her clothes suit her perfetly.
Also I love the face. She looks absolutely awesome in yor drawing style and the facial expression is mystique and makes her very interesting. It makes me wish to know more about her!

The skills you showed in this piece are great!! You combinate a very effective lineart with a simple but beautiful coloring style. The light and shades are done very well, especially in the hair and the feathers. You bring out the structure for example at the feathers with tiny, parallel lines what is in my eyes very cool and original.

The dark color palete you choosed fits great to her - the warm dark red is in a great contrast to the cold bluish colors.

The background is not very detailed, but it brings out the character very well and sets the focus on the head.

All in all, "Lucrezia" is an amazing character, drawn in a original and beautiful style. Very well done!

The way you use heavy black to create contrast (as you do in all your works) is just amazing.

I know how you feel with your difficulties. I've been going through with that since HS. How did you get over it?Β

Sha-H In reply to Larxel [2015-01-14 17:40:08 +0000 UTC]

I don't really know.
In this time,I just take a picture that I like (as I did for this one), and then my imagination does the rest.
I don't force the imagination, but rather the fact to draw something. This works for me.
This is not outstanding, but at least it makes me some exercises ^^"

I think that honestly is the best advice I have been given so far. I've been trying to force myself to get stuff done...probably why nothing ever comes to me.Β
