Description
Hello again!This was just an experiment-- I tried painting a portrait using only the primaries- red, blue, and yellow. plus the assistance of white. I figure I should be working on my color selection skills, and this might help me out. Maybe.
It started off as a realism portrait of a friend of mine, Rachael, but as it turns out, I fail at drawing from a reference. So I erased the sketchy face and drew this random girl c:
Make-up is fun to paint.
Feel free to crit; I defenitely have a lot of room for improvement.
edit: fixed some things Kan and Barako pointed out : D

..I think all the crits have been hogged by the other commentors.
but it still is reminiscent of Rachael. which is odd...'cause you erased the sketchies. So perhaps you just had her face stuck in your subconcious?.(that's happened to me before o_o)
it's pretty though!

You should try that with watercolours or any kind of paint. It'd look brilliant. 8D

Well, you said you wanted crit, so~
I agree with the hair thing ~Kansaibou said about the head needing to appear more round. Also, the lack of color in the face is a little strange, though I know what you were aiming for, without some light faded color in other parts it looks odd, especially around the nose. The color that you put down looks good, but the top of the nose should have color too even in minimalistic coloring like this, especially since the hair would make it be in a bit of shadow. Same for other parts that the hair covers.
Also, I absolutely love the hair. It looks like an aurora.

Thanks a lot, I'll keep that in mind <33
I don't know if I actually want to fix it, though XD

Oh, I understand. It was just a sketchy experiment, right? :3
Just something to think about when you're drawing whatever you draw next.
Also, I demand that you practice drawing boys! Lots of boys! XD

Hahah, I actually did try drawing a guy today. I wanted to try doing something with a darker theme. Well, I got bored and x-ed out, and it was like "Do you want to save?"
I was like oh wait! cancel! i forgot something!
And accidentally clicked "no"
;_; He was really cute too!
Btw, I went ahead and attempted to fix the picture anyway XD

Awww, that sucks! T_T Ugh, I hate it when that happens...
Also, random question, do you use Photoshop or Painter? :0 -has been curious about Painter-
Oooh, it does look a lot better now. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I use photoshop elements because it came with my tablet.
But I reaaaaally want to get painter. really badly.
Oh, thanks
thanks! makeup is soo much fun to paint <33

=O I really thought you used Painter!
Ohgosh. I think this means now that I need to practice painting in Photoshop. I'm starting to get kind of bored of solid lines...
And yup, sometimes a little bit does go a long way! :3

Hahah, nope, I need to get painter though...
Yeah, you should mix some soft shading in with your cel shading. .. it would rock.
Yeah, I gotta keep that in mind next time. Most of the time I over-do things ;_;

PERSONALLY...
i think the main think id add, is just a bit more hair in the upper left corner.. but the amount would be really small.. more so for just adding a more rounded look to the head..
also..i dunno if it was intended or not... but like.. the upper part of the right side of her hair is like.. missing tiny bits.. kinda like you just didnt paint it... the pic has a messy feel, though, so it mightve been intended...

Yay, crits
*eats crits*
nom
Oh yeah, I basically didn't paint the top of her head. that's why I cut that part off of the picture >: D
and.. the.. the hair thing.. yeah.. okay... yeah!
thanks kanny <3
