Artist's Comments

~lovelyloon.

Wee I'm finally done. My first complete deviation as =NinthLife w00t. I suppose I'll speak more about this and give out materials and such tomorrow, I'm so tired.


Time brings improvement ;)

Original
10.11.07

Reference

Edit: I played with shades a bit, fixed a couple mistakes and added a burn to really bring out the lights and darks. I like it a lot this way :)

Critiques


:iconyami-honenuki-tenshi:
The overall quality of the piece is vastly improved from the original that I'd looked at, in the shading techniques and the lineart, as well as the attention to detail. Seeing the photograph that this referenced, this is a wonderful pencil drawing. The shading is smooth and really brings out the detail in the picture. The background is really appealing, detailed without overly drawing attention to it. THe light areas in the background really bring the eye into it. The only criticism that I can offer for this piece would be the extreme black in the background, which was slightly distracting for me to look at, maybe just blend it out a little more (though I know what you were doing with it, seeing the photo as well). The details you kept, such as the necklace, the shirt folds, and the shape and shade of the eye are wonderful. The hair is oh, so wonderful, I know I have a problem with drawing and making the hair too shiny, though with my style, it's okay, and the individual strands stand out well without being distracting.

Overall, a wonderful image, and I look forward to seeing more!
