Description
"Pasistenk paleisti vaizduotę ir šiek tiek paįvairinti savo gyvenimą: virš mūsų galvų - dangus, ir žmonija, stebėdama jį tūkstančius metų, pateikė daugybę protingų paaiškinimų, kas tai yra. Pamiršk visa ta, ką žinai apie žvaigždes, ir tuomet jos vėl pavirs angelais arba kūdikiais, arba dar kuo nors, kuo tu norėtum patikėti tą akimirką. Dėl to tu nepasidarysi kvailesnis negu esi iš tikrųjų: tai viso labo išdaiga gyvenimui pagražinti."Paulo Coelho, "Portobelo ragana"
I feel a bit upset. I`ve spent ages on this drawing and it looks awful. Colours are still a great mystery for me.
At least I try to discover how to use them o_o

Great design. The linear qualities in the figures makes them a part ot the design, not just figures rendered over a background.
You're dissapointed with the colors, yet confident enough in your abilities to share this piece with the dA community. That's admirable. Keep up the good work.

You definitely don't suck at colors...I would actually think it's quite difficult to get such a stunning affect using colored pencils! Your laydown is so smooth, and the contrast is really perfect. Beautiful work!

Did you outline the woman?
and what pencils did you use?

Yes, I did, with a gel pen.
I always mix different brands, for example Memoris-Precoius, Flamingo, Giotto.. I have tones of various pencils

You have done a wonderful job on this! I am not sure why you would be upset?.. sometimes we can be our own worst critics.. i know as i am.. the woman looks great everything looks in proportion and well drawn.. the tones in the dress are very realistic and the colours have been blended in really well.. from what i can see you know more about colour than you may think! what about colour are you not comfortable with? maybe i can help

It`s ok, I like it now. It was only a depression, which starts after I finish something. Thanks!

Cool! I like the composition with the ornate border and background. Your proportions are look good. This piece reminds me of a cross between Art Nouveau and stained glass. You have a beautiful range of values here with some intense palette choices. It's a great piece of work!

Oh my gosh. You did this with colored pencils? It is perfect! The colors are so strong!

Why are you upset? I find this piece really interesting. And at the first glance I didn't even notice the background was done with colored pencils cause it looks like some nice texture. I really like your style and the elements you use.

The scan doesn`t impart the whole impression and some delicate colours in the background. But in reality it looks pretty good

Yeah, I bet it looks awesome! And scanner can sometimes make the lines look to sharp when it comes to colored pencils. When it comes for colors, you can always adjust them in PS.

On the contrairy: it looks fantasic. I like the "once upon a time" mood, though it has this religious touch.
