Description
I...had no idea what gallery to put it in...SO. I felt like trying something new. I doodled something in my Broadcast Journalism notebook that I really liked, and then I doodled another one like it later...I LIKE 'ER. I'm calling her Emily.
OMG LOOK. I'm applying stuff I learned from art class. Digital painting is SO MUCH EASIER, but you learn a LOT from using the actual stuff. In this case, oil paint. That stuff is annoying. But I'm learning things from using it. Splee, I love the shading! I didn't use the smudge or blur tools either, that's all just painty goodness. XD (okay, that whole paragraph sounded stupid. whatever.)
Don't ask why she doesn't have eyes. She looks creepier without them, SO THERE. It's a new style I'm trying (yes, another) and I'm still working out the multitude of kinks.
SO THEN. (I just know I'm gonna regret this) I'm open to any and all crits you have. I'm still practicing this 'no outlines' style, and the painy shading. If you know anything that can help, I'm all ears.

I love it. Really. I am going to post it (eventually) but I just did a drawing where a lady has no face. I like the red roses also. Nice touch.
If I had to pick something out, the only thing that I dont get is where the shoes start and where the dress ends. Otherwise, perfect <3.
I like how you are drawing people more also!

hmm, the shoes/dress thing seems pretty obvious to me, maybe it's just the screen colors or brightness or something.
I wanna draw people more D= I can't decide on a freakin' style! It's weird, I don't really like anthro art that much at all myself, but that's all I can draw. O.o
You feel like chatting on AIM? I ish havin' a not-so-great day >.<;;

This is very cute. I love the red in the rose and how it stands out from the rest of the picture.

fankie ^^ I almost made the rose black (I like black roses...), but then the whole thing would have been grey.

SPLEE! I luff her! She looks like an actual doll! Awesome work, Moofinbabe.
MOO HA HA. Digital painting IS much easier than regular painting, but I concur with you with all that stuff you said. Heehee. All hail the blur tool. XD The only art course in school to work with computer media is Commercial design, but I do wish we could have an art class dealing with photoshop media.
; Oh well. C'est la vie, mademoiselle.

Aw, fankie X3
I don't know HOW many times I was sitting in art class painting, and thought "Oh, crap! Edit, undo! Edit, undo!!" I kept thinking about that while I was working on this XD
I'll have to take commercial design...I'm torn between that and ceramics for next year XD And photography...my dad's a profesional photographer and he REALLY wants me to take that class XD

Hahah, oh yes, I love that undo button. *kisses it* ^^
Well, if you really want, you can actually take all three of those courses your senior year if you really want to. Maybe even earlier. You only need so many academic credits. But, take a look on what YOU want to do. And soon, because the middle of the year is coming up and you have to start picking what classes you want!

you have to pick in the middle of the year? o.o;; Well, I already know I have to take a language...you have to take three years of a language don't you? I wanted to learn German >.<
I don't know, I want to take either commercial design or ceramics. I don't really WANT to take photography, but I think it would be some useful knowledge. I'll probably end up taking it eventually.

Have to take three years of a language? For what? I've been told that tons of times, and I think that's only if you want to go to a prestigious college. Which, really, is silly because no one cares where you get your bachelor's degree after high school. But, German is a good choice, no one complains about German, from what I heard! XD ^^
Well, you have quite enough time, so don't fret too much over it. Well, whatever you want, honey. ^^ I am in Photography, and it is a lot of fun, but what ever suits you best. You must get tons of Photoknowledge already from your dad. XD;; Well, what ever you like!

oh. Well, I heard you HAD to to get out of high school. O.o;; I wanted to take German, but they're taking it away. I would be in German now if I could, but all they had was German II on the list! I AM German, and I already KNOW some German, it's not fair >.< -sighs-
I dunno, I don't really pay much attention to my dad when he starts talking about photography stuff I just know that it's really annoying when he makes me hold up the reflector thingamabobbers. And he doesn't like to let me hold his cameras. Which makes enough sense, they're freaking expensive. I think I just don't want to take the class because my dad's going to want to help me with EVERYTHING, and everything's going to have to be better than everyone else, and...yeah. XD

Thank you! XD
I have NO idea. Consumerism. wtf. SHE'S JUST TRYING TO MAKE MY BRAIN EXPLODE I KNOW IT. First that quote, then 76, and now this. O.o It's hard to make a decent piece of artwork when you really don't have any feelings toward the topic. -sighs-
