Description Pocahontas - Colors of the Wind

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...

You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind

You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

have I not commented?!?!? OH DEAR SHAME ON ME!
this is just beautiful! I LOVE her gorgeous flowy hair, and the colours you incorporated. Her face is beautifully done too <3

as for crits, I'd say that there should be some darker shadow on her skin under her necklace, and the belt could do with some refining, but other than that this is lovely

Lazulina In reply to ??? [2011-10-27 00:43:02 +0000 UTC]

The only things I can critique it on are:

It seems the directions of her eyes are going in slightly different directions. The left eye goes straight down her cheekbone, indicating she's looking forward. The right eye is a little more in the back of the socket, like she's looking back. So move either one of the eyes to pick a direction that she's looking at.

The other thing is, the left side is kind of melting into the background. It works with her right side since she has the dark hair to work as a dark background/outline. But the colors around the shoulder are too similar to her flesh color. The dress is really pretty, but the belt could use slight improvement. It feels like one solid chunk next to all that detail. I can see you added some shadows and highlights on the belt - perhaps go back and emphasize them some more.

Other than that, this is a gorgeous piece! I love it
