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.]

It's pretty. I think it does look a little different than what you normally do too. Nice work.

C'est vraiment superbe! C'est vrai que ça fait changement question couleurs, et certainement pour le mieux (bon, il faut dire que j'ai quand même un parti pris parce que j'adore le bleu...
Et je trouve que les ombres sont très bien comme ça! J'aime beaucoup l'effet que ça fait en général, particulièrement sur les plis de la jupe!

This is very beautiful. I love the way you potrayed her hair. Almost as if it was cut out from the sky, it makes for a really nice contrast.

Wonderful! Quite an original idea, and I love the composition of this one! I love that outfit, pose, and pretty much everything. And did I mention what a gorgeous shade of blue that sky is?

youpiii ! en effet ça change ! ^___^
Mais j'pense que pour que ça soit encore plus dynamique, il faudrait, par exemple, éviter la manière de faire hausser les épaules comme une top modèle qui pose XD
Et ensuite, c'est sa main gauche, c'est trop une main qui "pose" aussi. Mais t'es sur la bonne voie !!!

I really like this, traditional art always seems to draw me in more- there are just so many more colours tones and depths that ou get from paints than from a computer. I love this peice, go watercolours!

I think it's wonderful! It's great to see you trying something new and this is a fun idea. She really does look happy, the details are still fantastic and the colors are quite a lovely change from your usual palette.

This definitely seem different from most of your other works. As for her pose/stance being unnatural, well it is actually quite natural under the circumstances (I guess you already said that). The pose shows a natural/appropriate uneasiness while trying to concentrate on both standing up and cutting down the stars.

This is really great! I love her outfit and the stilts are really cute! She looks like she's having a hard time cutting those stars down! I love how the clouds are held up too, very cute!

Oh, wow. Even before I read the description, I was like "Damn, someone really used the advice! Look at all that great motion! And blue!"
I do agree though, that the pose is stiff and awkward...but in a natural way. It really looks like she's trying to balance on those stilts while trying to cut a star out of the sky.
The values and blues are all so beautiful. I really love this piece. And (well, to me) it's obvious that you go for a stylized form of anatomy, not that you just don't know how it's supposed to look. Fantastic job. My new favorite piece of yours.

I'm glad you think that the advice was put into good use. It definitely helped, I'm really happy to have managed to do something different for once and I feel like I somewhat improved.

Ooh very nice, it has a unique style and idea and the texture is wonderful. May I ask what a liquid frisket is?

ooh very useful, and it would work with copics as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I believe it would. I use it with my Trias and they're alcohol-based too.

oooh thank you, that was helpful. I'm getting some copics soon so something like this would also be beneficial since I am not accustomed to working with a lot of media on paper.
