Artist's Comments

FINISHED!!! finally :3

So this is the final piece and i am really happy with how it came out! :D

The ocean took me the longest i think. >< i was looking as pictures to get ideas, and took glances at tutorials and stuff to make sure i would get it right, then i practiced on another page. :XD: i really wanted to get it right :3
How did i do?

Other than that, i have to say that i think this piece was a success ^^

What do you guys think?? i don't mind constructive criticism!

about it... It's Janista holding her hand out to her husband, ready to go swimming! She does love the beach. ^^ oh! and if you notice, there's a repeated number in this picture. :3 and for a good reason too. :giggle: if you notice the repeated number, i'll tell you why i did it ^^

Art and character (c) to me, :iconpreciousangelwings: no stealing! ><
:icondonotuseplz::iconmyartplz:
thanks! :hug:

EDIT: idk whyyyy but it 's sooo light! >< my scanner cut out so many details! >< i've edited it a few times. looks a little better now...

Critiques


:iconcuzzacurry:
Time for a nice little critique! To start it off, I love the pose! Why? Because it is very dynamic and I think it displays her emotion well. You are very strong at using body language in all of your pieces of art. You can see every move the ocean makes and its waves. I love how you blended the colours together as well. Water is a very difficult thing to colour with coloured pencils, but I think you aced it! You make it look very realistic which can be clearly seen by looking at how you gently blended the sand with the water to make it seem transparent. Her hair moves very naturally and you can see that you considered gravity. Your perspective is great as well!
As for the constructive aspect of this, I think you could have made the clouds a bit more visible by making them slightly bigger so that they are easier to see in the sky. I know foreshortening is hard, but I think it would look a little more dynamic if her forearm was a little bigger than the rest of her upper arm to match the hand's proportion

Good work with this piece! Keep it up!

Just a little constructive criticism for ya: Foreshortening can be a real pain. I know it is for me, and I still need to work on it myself, but for some reason, the space between the from had to the body, and the body to the back hand doesn't seem deep enough for some reason. The on in back could be a bit more shaded to increase depth, and the hand in front could have been a little bigger. I know I have a hard time with it, and with a little practice, it'll get easier.

Other than that, this looks great. I love her expression, and the anatomy looks really good. Just a little work on foreshortening is all that's needed. It can be a real bitch sometimes XD

Overall, this is a really good drawing. Keep up the good work.

it could also be my scanner.. it looks better irl and not so bright and obnoxious like my scanner made it. i'm usually pretty good at foreshortening. but i know what you mean. *sighs* better luck next time i guess... T^T

thank you for the crit and i'll make sure to work on it. :3

It's really good! Your anatomy is great, the shading is good (the nose in particular is my favourite shaded part!) and the composition on the diagonal is very interesting. I agree about the foreshortening but that's down to your shading style. Foreshortening needs a lot of light and shadow to look right. I know cause I had a problem with a foreshortened pic I had to colour in with light colours. So all in all a great pic :)
