Description
Lame title, I know...especially since I BUTCHERED the poor Lotus.
Btw...is this the correct cat? I'm not sure o.oAnyway this is based on a Sharpie Doodle I did on the train/BART [link]
I'm sure it looks better smaller and such but I really really liked how this is turning out. It's pretty much done except I still have to work on cleaning up the lines. I need to learn how to do Vector stuff so everything will be smoother and less sketchy
Also need to change a few things with the flower.Oh and suggestions: what do I do about the silvery bead thingies? I chose silver because...well I'm not really sure. any other suggestions? It has to stand out from the black and also from some white but it can't be pink or purple!
I hope to make this a print soon and also put this on some stationary, notebooks, possibly some cards, and definitely on canvas bags if anyone is interested!

how bout just leave the bandy thingies white? and have a "suggested" impression of where the thingys are?
It looks great, nevertheless.

I was thinking of that but then I would have to change the white bg to another color because the beads wouldn't stand out enough >.< I tried it and it didn't work out as I had hoped... Thanks though! ^___^

Thats okay! Hmm.. I guess the beads are hard... maybe the same or a darker shade than the lotus?
But then, it might detract attention from the lotus... hmm.

Lol it's so tricky o.o

Hmm... I would have to agree with ekormekolindo; the danglies do look a bit flat in contrast to the rest of the drawing. My advice would be to have some tucked behind her hair and a bit darker than the rest. You might even have a few blowing in the wind with her hair? Stupid idea maybe, but just an idea lol. The perspective of the lotus also looks a bit off to me. As far as the color goes, I think the silver is fine. Maybe have it tilted a bit to the front so that it looks more like it's in her hair or tucked behind her ear.
The picture looks so good so far! She is so pretty. I am glad to see you are continuing the sharpie girl!

Oooh soo pretty! I really really love the lotus (and all the sparklies!). I think for me, I'd have preferred some definition of her chin...I know it's purposefully left out of the design, but with the way the hair frames her face, it just looks like she has a very very round face/chin. Which is fine, but I would have preferred a little, I dunno, choice framing of hair so that it looks like she has more of a jaw?
And I think the danglies get lost and don't stand out enough in a good way. I didn't really notice them until I was like "wait, why is the hair all weird on that side". I'd actually say maybe making the strands a little thicker? And using your tablet to sketch the line instead of the line tool, so it doesn't look so severe in contrast to the rest of the picture.
Look at me, critiquing as if I could do better. D:

Wow, that is a toughy. The dangly thingies. Goodness... I think what would help to blend those in other than changing the color would be to have some of them hidden behind the hair. I think the problem I have with them is that it looks flat and I think it is because i want to see depth and to make that depth, I think some should be darker/hidden. Just an idea. I love the silver and I wouldn't go changing it unless you add a tint color (like a tint of pink like a reflection for the color of the flower). I hope that made sense.
Otherwise, wonderful job!
