Description Ok so I know I suck with colored pencils.. but you have to practice to get better, right? well anyway I haven't submitted anything in a while... so yay for me! This is a finished piece so I don't want people pointing out something that looks bad about it, but I would really appreciate some pointers with colored pencils to work on next time <-- that would be very nice and I would much appreciate it.

Media: Prisma colored pencils, clear blending pencil, micron pens .005, .01, .04
Border: Adobe Photoshop 7

I love the picture~! You did a great job coloring. Hmm, for coloring... the coloring around the sun might look a bit brighter if you used a lighter yellow mixed in with the present one. Great picture!

You're probably right about the sun.. I did use 3 colors around it even though its hard to notice I started off with a really light yellow but I suppose it disapeared under the other two colors of yellow haha. Thanks a lot for the critique and comment!

I like the colors and there is always room for improvement so I won't say anything about that. They add to the effect, I think. But the anatomy is a little bit off, I believe, her right arm that hands down appears to be a little bit small. Other than that, I like the composition and the overall general effect. Nice.

Yeah I guess you're right about her arm... however I would love to hear what you have to say about the colors... you volunteered not to say anything about it but that is sort of what I most want to get imput back on I really want to be able to improve my coloring, I don't care so much about the actual drawing itself.

The thing is the colors to me fit the mood I percieve. I percieve an airy, light feeling for this piece and also since I am not very good at colors myself, I don't want to seem like I know everything, which I don't. Well..I possibly can suggest trying to go from a darker blue at the bottom then using a gradient scale, gradually lighten up the color until you reach a white/really light blue near the brightest point in the sky. Practice, we all must! I'm also doing the same...

Yeah that would probably make more sense with the light points in the sky. Thanks for the advice!
