Description just updating my DA gallery. This piece, along with whole series, is a part of my master's degree project in graphics.

This piece in particular is something I wouldn't usually post on DA. It's been directly inspired by this photo [link] - which is a part of a really great session. I don't usually draw something that's so close to my inspiration, but in this case I was in a hurry and this photo was a great influence. I did copy some parts of flowers pretty directly (or, well, tried to), but her face and the rest of it is 100% original, no ref used.

For those catching little details - yes, at some places between pieces in these series I re-used some elements. I painted a few flower sets and little details separately and, as I was really in a hurry with those, I just re-used them in different places. I didn't use any works that don't belong to me, of course. Just wanted to make it clear for all drama hunters out there

Gorgeous gallery! I think I love this one and "Maman Brigitte" the best, for their vivid coloring.

You can learn to color images in graphics class? I am majoring in fine arts because I draw but I can't color very well at all. I don't use layers very often and I never use brushes for texture. I need to learn hands on with someone right here beside me but I didn't know if any classes offer that.

I enjoy the Asian style...I was looking at some artwork in other groups and the color choices you used are soooooo eye appealing. I don't recall what group I started browsing in.

vinegar In reply to marcisbiggs [2010-11-13 12:43:02 +0000 UTC]

thanks! Actually the problem is the series are accompanying my diploma project which is a Japanese restaurant, therefore even though I call them "asian" these pieces are still mostly influenced by Japan. And because last time I painted my variation of geisha people were complaining her obi is not 100% correct and stuff like that (even though I wrote it's been inspired by geisha and that I am familiar with kimonos, I just didn't want to paint a portrait of a geisha, just my variation of it). So I decided to go with "asian inspired" just so people will leave me alone I am interested in other asian cultures as well, just in this case it was mostly about Japan, because of my diploma

marcisbiggs In reply to vinegar [2010-11-14 03:06:10 +0000 UTC]

whoa! what a lengthy explanation! haha! no worries! I am looking forward to see your works on other asian countries like thailand, mongolia, india, vietnam, malaysia, kyrgyzstan, etc. I'm sure it will be just as intricate and mind-bogglingly beautiful! How I wish I had your skills so I could make art for the Philippines just like yours. If you don't mind, I'll ask you for some tips every now and then..
