Description When I say, “attempt” I badly mean it >.<

I seriously hate how this came out. I wanted it to look as real as possible, but everything I tried looked bad. The coloring is ok, but the whole oekaki sketch is horrible

~*~Bad stuff~*~ >.<
First, her chest area is up too high and I didn’t notice that until like way way later. Her foot is too big. Her dress is so off perspective. The folds are really ugly. The hair came out too poofy…and so on! I think the only part that came out all right at the end were the wings. I finally fixed it right to look like real wings and added sparkles. the sparkles!!!

The background picture was actually a real life picture taken from * lovekitten27 She takes the best pictures ever!!! You just have to visit her DA!! Well, she gave me permission to use her lovely picture in which I needed to blend other colors to blend in with the faery chick. =^^=;;; The link to the photograph in the background in this picture is [link] just in case you want to see the original.

Well, thanks for viewing guys!!

The arms are a little long, and the feet are a little big. The head may be big, too, but meh it's great!

JubeiSpiegel [2003-11-05 05:45:45 +0000 UTC]

If you want it to look real try so pics from reference. Take something like a picture and try to make it again, also try to take the colors you find in the pictures. Real life colors are not so bright. I still like your pic, i guess i can see why you don't really like it. I think she is pretty, faeries are awesome!!!

ArtisticParadigm In reply to JubeiSpiegel [2003-11-06 02:15:19 +0000 UTC]

Ooh!! Very true on the stuff you mentioned! I normally don't like looking at references....but this pic was done on MSPaint...so I thought that that would be kind of annoying looking back and forth from picture to computer But I like your suggestions on the coloring and everything else you mentioned...I'll keep that in mind the next time I draw realism! Thanks for the advice!! ^^

Another question *i know is am annoying*
How did you do the hair and her wings like that ???

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ArtisticParadigm In reply to Goddes-Cynik [2003-11-05 02:53:50 +0000 UTC]

You're not annoying hun!
Umm...for her wings...I just used gradient first then I did a motion blur...I think that's how it turned out... Try it out...I think that's how it was. For the hair...I just usually color it then I put a dodge tool over it to make it shiny. Just my way. ^^ Hope I answered your question! =^^=

Really the last question ..

ArtisticParadigm In reply to Goddes-Cynik [2003-11-06 02:11:56 +0000 UTC]

Lol...The sparkles are just from an "X" shaped brush tool in the options listed for the brushes in Adobe. ^^

nanu-chan [2003-11-04 03:20:59 +0000 UTC]

I think that it's pretty good. the only problem to me that you shouldn't like it would probably be the hair. it looks funny . please don't like chuck something at me for saying that but i wanna be honest ^^;;;. It's very good just the hair is funny .
