Description My current work in progress. What do you think? Not too shabby, eh? So, I colored the horse a solid red with my old tablet, all of the shading, the girl, dress, and hair have all been with my new tablet! Have I mentioned how much I love that thing? It is so much easier to work with then my old one ever was. And the eraser on the pen is just the coolest thing ever! It saves so much time and it doesn't break your train of thought to change the tools. And the circle zoom-thingy is pretty cool too.

Anyways, this is a WIP. Both figures need a lot more defining, this is mostly rough. The horse needs more colors tones too, cause it's too red. And then there's the flowers both will be wearing, the background, the ribbon around the girl's waist and in her hair.

No reference was used, except for her face. And only her face. I am kinda proud of it too! I have decided I need to do more humans. It's something i need to improve in to do what I want to do with art, I think. So, here is my first serious attempt. If there is a huge, glaring error, please point it out, but I didn't really post it for critique. Although, suggestions with the horse's tail? I'm not sure I like it . . . I'll take suggestions for a background too. I have some ideas, but nothing solid yet. I hope to finish both figures while at Lake Powell, but we shall see! This is definitely the quickest I've ever painted digitally.

I figure if she's a dancer, she's probably got muscular legs. Thank you!

Well, practice makes perfect, right? Someday I'll figure out human anatomy . . .

Hopefully! I work with a guy who studied fine art back in college and people are all he draws, so I showed him the picture and had him point out what was wrong and how to fix it. Now, if I can get Photoshop working, I will get to work on while on vacation! If not . . . well, we'll see then, I guess . . .

that's great you got professional support!
Photoshop... I know that program a little while and I've already realized how tricky it is I love the way how it shuts up - inexpediently
good luck again!

This is great so far! I think the horse's tail should be a little thicker and maybe longer, that's my only suggestion Can't wait to see it finished!

I had it different at first, but I think it was too thick. Maybe I will try keep this shape and thickening it. And adding some length. Thanks!

The only things I'd say needs adjusting (aside from the girl's arm, like *scenceable said) are the length of the back of the horse (it seems just a BIT too short to me), and the size of the girl's head (again, a bit too small). Her torso and lower leg seem really long, but by adjusting her arm and head, that may be solved.
It's very good so far, though

I love this! the horse is beautiful, and I like the concept. the only thing that seems odd is the girl's arms (well, arm) look a bit small compared to everything else.

I like the tail...if you wanted make it a bit bigger, or have longer hairs, to balance the mane out, but I like the shape.

very nice

Aryenne In reply to scenceable [2008-07-20 17:46:56 +0000 UTC]

Good suggestions! Thank you! I was thinking the tail was on the small side, but I didn't want to spend forever on it if it was going to get changed again!
