Have you ever wondered how falling stars are born?
Well, now you know.
Trying to put into use all the advice everyone gave me, and kind of failing miserably. I've tried to make something more dynamic, less static. A girl walking through the clouds and cutting off stars on her way, with a whole damn lot of wind.
I've also tried to work with colours I rarely use, blues. And tried to darken my shades, but it's hard - I'm starting to believe it's my watercolour that isn't pigmented enough. I'll buy a few new colours and see whether it's a problem with me or my paint.
Anyway, I must say I like this one enormously for some reason. She seems so happy. I've wanted to draw this picture for a long while, and it came out differently from what I expected, but in a good way for once.
The body is extremely elongated and exagerratedly slim on purpose. I like drawing those bodies.
The pose does look quite stiif and unnatural... but hey, so would you if you were walking on those things.
I hope you will like it.
[Made with Staedtler pigment liners, watercolours, liquid frisket, Tria markers, colour pencils, white paint.]

Yet I really don't get a sense of stability from this piece at all. When i first looked at in fullview it almost made me feel dizzy.

I didn't mean that it's stable, not at all, but there could have been a lot more dynamics and/or tension in how the lines go together.
no offense

If there is that much wind, shouldn't all the stars blow in the direction of the wind, as well as the clouds? The clouds seem... windless, and the star to the far left is blowing the opposite way of the rest of the picture. But, maybe I'm blabbing on something I know nothing about.
I think it is very pretty, on the other hand, even if some of it confuses me.

I love this so much! There's so much that I could talk about in it, but I'll just say that one thing I really love is the "wind" coming off of the stars and her hair (the white spots), because although they're not really noticeable, they give the picture so much action. It's a really great detail that I wouldn't have thought to include.
Love it love it love it! The colours, the pose, the layout, the idea... Instant favorite!!

Evidemment tu est en train de suivre un parcours... Tes oeuvres sont toujours plus belles.
Je ne peut pas dire que ceci soit la meilleure, mais il est evident qu'il y a beaucoup plus de "conscience".
Je vais "contre" en disant que je ne vois pas cette joie. Au contrair elle me paraรฎtre plutรดt inquiรจte, et l'ambiance est plutรดt melancolique...
C'est quelque chose comme un reve qui refuse les reves... et cherche a les rendre "vraisamblables". Par example les soutiens des nouages... qui sont rouillรฉs... Je les trouve tres genial.

I like it.. it's always nice to try something new and it coming out great.. I always like the way you make something natural and everyday and create some unique concept out of it.

Eee. This is lovely. Are the pigment liners made so that they don't run with watercolor?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you!
Yes, they're waterproof pens.

I really love it.
You did a great job on trying out the new dynamics.
It still has your style but I was really taken by it as well.
may I ask how you did the hair?
Did you tape it off and paint around it? O.o; Because that seems like it would be horrible tedious.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well, almost. I used liquid frisket to mask the hair area, painted the rest then rubbed the masking off. It's just much easier than trying to get a nice, opaque white area with paint. I just added a few little wisps of hair with paint afterwards.

because that's a nifty technique I'd love to try.
thank you! and again, it's beautiful!

I always wanted to ask you-do you go to an art school,art college or something like that?

Thank you!
No, I don't. I'm a biology student, actually.

Well...I'm full of respect-for being self-taught(I'm too,I'm too!) and for being biology student...Everytime I have to study it,I'm dying.It's just impossible to remember all af the things.

and you did a great job! (: this artie looks pretty different than the others, it still has your own style and atmosphere but finally you added something new (colours, movement...)
I like the way you think about falling stars (:

I forgot about one thing - either she's about to lose her balance or you should 'bend' her to the left a bit (:

Bravo!
I love your technique. Your color application and overall sense of design is top notch.
Cheers!
