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.

Like it? I absolutely love it! I love pictures of stars and the like. You made very good blues by the way, just thought you should know since you said you rarely worked with them. I like how you did the hair, all white and no lines in it, that's very cool. I also love the clothing that you designed on her. Very pretty.
But overall, I think you definitely got what everybody was saying as suggestions. She's moving, different colors, and shading. Great job. I can't wait to see more.
ps. I love the way you did the stars and the clouds.

tu sais parler allemand? est-ce que tu l'études? moi, j'étude l'espagnol et c'est pourquoi je ne sais que parler et écrire cette langue...je pense que c'est aussi face à la ressemblance des deux langues dérivées du latin.
mais j'iré à une classe du francais le prochain semestre, c'est plus ou moins sûr.
j'espère que tout aille bien

KmyeChan In reply to snakesevra [2007-05-10 11:15:10 +0000 UTC]

I didn't especially think of Dali when drawing them, but you're right, they do look a bit like stilts in some of his works.

Actually it's 100% traditional, I don't edit my work digitally (except colour balance after scanning to get back to the original colours, obviously).
Thank you!

ça donne envie d'abandonner définitivement l'imagerie digitale, et de revenir aux méthodes plus ..."traditionelles"

bin oui,moi aussi,mais ...plus j'avance dans cette voie, et plus je me retourne vers les outils que j'utilisais auparavant...avec nostalgie.
Mais aujourd'hui,aprés y avoir gouté, je ne suis pas certain que je pourrais arèter complètement,la gribouille sur PC...bof, un dilemme de plus

Le choix des couleurs me plait beaucoup, ça fait tout frais que tu sortes de la "palette habituelle"!
Composition géniale, très bon concept, j'adore vraiment!

OMG, this is amazing. I have to say, watercolor hates me so I haven't ever used it a whole lot but this is absolutely beautiful. I love the idea. I also like how this is a favorite and it isn't comp generated. Traditional art just seems so much more personal to me. Anyways, kudos.

wow, i just really love this. the concept, the colors, the style... amazing. you'll probably never read this because your piece made it to the front page, so everybody is commenting on its amazingness... but it would feel wrong if i didn't comment on it just because everybody else is.
so again, amazing job.

Lovely...reminds me very much of a tiny little childrens' book called "The Caretakers of Wonder". About patching up the sky and painting the wings of birds and gathering dew drops to use the next day.

I really like the feeling this brings about.
