Description
This is my Geisha girl colored. I haven't finished it but I wanted to uploaded it to show everyone how the color was coming along. I'm pleased with her color ....the back ground is HIGHLY a WIP. I need to find a photo or draw a back ground for her. But this is to show you all how its coming along. I hope you like it if you have any constructive ideas please tell me. Tell me if you like it also

I agree with all the other suggestions about the clothes and highlighting , I would just suggest , if you want a sunset background , instead of using a gradient for the sky like you've done here , why not try painting out one. There's tons of sky tutorials here that you can work from.

Yeah a sun set is what I was aiming for. My plan is to either paste a photo of a scene or draw and color a scene. THANKS for the comment. Glad you liked it.

I like how the skin colour came out...skin is such a pain in the butt to get right! I agree with the white highlights it gives the effect of plastic or shiny leather. I like the umbrella but i would darker the center of it a little more with shadow...make more realistic, if that what your wanting anyway. The eyes came out nice too. I wont comment on the lower half...lol.

How dark should an umbrella be? If you have seen most cheapish traditional oriental para cells they are a bit thin. The light shines in and glows a bit. Not that they don't shade but they aren't really that dark inside. [link]

They are more for looks. But I can work on her kimono's shine if its that big of a distraction.

I think you shouldn't use white for highlights, the cloth looks so... nylon-like with that. Use a bit lighter blue than the color of the clothes instead.

oh it was suppose to look a bit sliky.

It doesn't look like that, I think. You should use pictures of a silk cloth as a reference, and you'll see that silk doesn't shine like that.

Well I was mistaking silk for nylon. I wanted it to look like the material on a pair of shiny boxer shorts I have seen. I think it makes her look more sexy. I can take it away if its that big of a distraction. The back ground is a WIP though. Anyhow thanks for the comments.

It's your decision what to use for it. But you asked for advice, so I made my opinion. On the pictures you linked I can't see any highlights that look like the one on your drawing. But you know what you do and how.

I removed it so its all good. now I'm just creating a sky. Thanks for the advice. It does look better with out the shine. I will upload the changes and let you look at them if you will thank you for your help.

I would like to see that. If you just update the picture, let your watcher know about the changes.

no prob thanks for all the support man. I didn't mean to argue I was just trying to get my bearings. Thanks again...I'm having trouble with the layers trying to create a back ground and a sky.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know how to do that. You should make a coloring with many layers, if you do that it cant be a problem to make a background layer. But if you havent done any layers yet, its almost impossible or at least hard work to add a background.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no they are all on layer. I just added the back ground as a another layer and made the rest more visable. Yeah I had about 20 layers in the pic. I'm uploading the new one now. Thanks for the help.

Is the type of material. Maybe I was thinking Nylon. If its that detracking I can remove the shines. But I think It looks more sexy as a shiny leathery surface. The back ground is what is wip. Thanks for the ideas though.
