Description Rapunzel, by the Brothers Grimm. The first of a series of I'm hoping at least 3. I've been reading my Fairy Tale anthology and it has inspired me to illustrate posters for the fairy tales

Again, thanks to for the paper texture

Pose inspired and ref'd from [link]

Art is by me!

UPDATE: I fixed a lot of things that were bothering me, and now I actually like looking at it@

I love how wild her hair is, the way it falls -- on the right side of the page, it looks like a column of hearts -- and how it shifts from pale yellow to dark orange.

Great as always, but something about her jawline is bugging me.
I know what you're trying to do with it (and that angle always gets me), but I think the way you drew would required her features to be lower. I think that's it; the chin is too low and the jawline's not vertical enough. Yes. Everything aside from that looks beautiful though. :]

kindlight In reply to ??? [2011-05-05 10:29:05 +0000 UTC]

The Mucha style, the silhouetted stylized hair, the layout- all beautifully rendered. For me, though, the face could use revisiting. The face, especially the mouth, is quite wrong (look at your source pic) and the overall effect not nearly as attractive as it could be. The text is okay, but could be more dynamic and/or integrated with the border (and perhaps the lower RAPUNZEL text could be given a richer tone, but that's a matter of preference). Since it's digital, though, you might want to revisit the facial features. Sorry to be so critical, but you set your own bar SO high with work like the Disney Sins

Thank you so much for the critique! I agree with everything you mentioned and I think I was so excited that I wanted to upload it right away without really looking at it haha. I have revisited and fixed SEVERAL things, not just the things you mentioned, but quite a bit was bugging me with this. Please check back later when the finished piece is uploaded and tell me what you think! Thanks again!
