Description Now finished: 
------


I love to look back on older drawings and see their flaws (as it means I'm improving) Honestly I feel like this with my last WIP of this piece: fav.me/d739aoh gah, I now see so many flaws in her face now! 


I've put so many hours into this piece already (think of a number then double it) its a very personal and quite emotional for me, and I want to do it justice. It's coming along though You might notice these colours are looking rather different to the last ones, well I was playing around and like how these colours look and am now a bit torn between these and the warmer scheme, feel free to let me know what you think


Oh, it's a photo of me working on my little Wacom Cintiq Companion tablet (I'm drawing on the screen I haven't worked out how to do a normal screenshot yet XD)


Can't wait to share the finished thing with you. Though I'm kinda nervous ^_^;


Lots of love, 

DestinyBlue x

I guess I liked the previous one better .v. The messy hair and warm colour scheme was so nice... But this one's great, too Congratulations on improving; personally, I can't see anything that's wrong with the last WIP. I guess it means it's a long way ahead of me. x3'
Lots of love

(if you don't know how, or cannot, take a screenshot by "traditional" means, you should be able to use Windows' built-in "capture tool" which can capture either a window, the whole screen or a custom area, then save it to an image)


You *did* improve, which is not to say you were bad, looking at the link provided in the description, only you got even better. There's a particular "magic" in your pictures, be it the characters' expressions, the colors, atmosphere, meaning... As a whole it makes your art quite unique.

(also, I don't know why I never get your art in my Watch despite +watching you... da*n DA)

one lil critique is that would should change the colours. i no you love blue but a lot of your works are blue. maybe experimenting with yellow or green would be a nice change and help you improve?

And what do you mean by "all artists think alike"?

hiyor In reply to verachime [2014-02-13 05:39:21 +0000 UTC]

what I meant is that we never believe an art peace is

ever really finished (you always have the urge to do more to the original Idea

than when you started

its a never ending cycle well at least for me it is "(oh sorry for the confusion) !

its looks great so far ^ ^"

SilverShadowess [2014-02-09 06:22:27 +0000 UTC]

This is really lovely... I like that you're sharing a WIP. ^^ I personally like the warm colors more than the cool ones--you use the blue a lot in your art and I think the warm colors fit this piece somehow (though I don't know the bigger picture, obviously)

drawing4life1 In reply to ??? [2014-02-09 06:17:39 +0000 UTC]

i love it ! beautiful! thos colors, the cold ones are more your style that the warmer color. it depend of the idea behind, if u want something deep and sad, go with the cold colors. if it about love, happy and excitement go with the warm  colors, depend on your and only yoyur feeling.

i think that the warm colors are more exciting  that the colder- they are a little too boring and sad.

hope i helped and cant wait to see it finished and to know how much time did u worked on it (:
