It does, thank you. I like the berry idea a lot, I'll try to incorporate some.

I really like the overall feel of this piece, I love the way the leaves frame it at the bottom and the glow around the cicada. <3
The hair is pretty fluffy and slightly curly at the front, but really straight at the back, I think it'd look better if they matched a little better. ^^"
The human proportions overall are pretty good, I like the ruffles and little folds you drew on her dress. ;D

Also, most of the piece is lined with pencil but the green leaves are lined with dark blue which makes it clash slightly? Pencil probably wouldn't show up very strongly since it's such a dark shade of green, but I think maybe a less bold color could work better? ;v;
Aaa i'm rambling i'll stop now.. xD

Nicely done, and refreshing to see some traditional art on DA. The only criticism I really have is maybe put more of a glow around the bug she appears to be looking at.

My small kind of crappy criticism ::


the hair seems to flat (not that i'm better with that) i'd advise you to add bits of hair sticking out just a bitΒ 
The shading is nice be needs some work but again it's nice
same goes with the lighting
I kind of can't tell what shes looking at so adding a bit more detail would be lovely
and making what I guess is the sky fade is a nice ideal!





sorry--

Your criticism is absolutely helpful.

Ill try to incorporate some loose strands.
This was drawn long before I studied shade and value, so I hope I learned enough to improve on this.
I plan on have the bug be the light-source, and I'll try to keep that in mind while I work.
So the bug needs to be bigger and more detailed, noted.
Thank you, hopefully I'll be able to make the gradation smoother on the updated version.


please don't be sorry--

Very well done!

I really like the way you drew her, she looks very beautiful, especially her face.
The hands are well done, most people have huge problems with them. but you seem to donΒ΄t have any.

Well you could work a bit on the shading. IΒ΄ve been drawing in the traditional way for a very long time and I see when people have problems with them.
If you need help with the shadings or anything traditional in general, I can help you out. Just ask^^

Thank you!

Do you have any tips for how to keep the light source in mind when coloring/shading? I think I want the bug to be the light source.

Well, I like to sketch a little circle (as my sun) and pay attention to that sun.

Beautiful!~
The girl herself looks amazing,but background could be a lot better if you pay more attention to it.
Comparing to your other artworks this looks like a little sketch,I'm sure you could draw a lot better! ^-^

magicofthepiper In reply to MoonlightGalaxy [2015-09-18 16:46:07 +0000 UTC]

You're right, this is more of a sketch then a finished piece, which why I selected it to be remade. Thank you for the encouragement.

LecturesArt [2015-09-18 10:05:20 +0000 UTC]

Great idea You could have spent more time on the bacground - it gets darker from the center but on the egdes it becomes lighter again ^^ You could also add more leaves or at least make them begin in the edges. Altrough you mage a great rob on the character, especially her dress <3 Keep the good work

my favorite part in this is the jewels on her hands.i love their color.This is something that i would stare at for a wile(hope that dosen't sound weird)But over all you did a real amazing job!I feel like there are some things on this that don't...match i gess.Like the hair to me it feels like it was colored a different way compared to the rest of it. if you are going to remake this go for it!XD i wold love to see a now and before style thing of this!

That's likely do to an imbalance of time and energy spent on the picture as a whole. I wasn't going to the B&A meme, but you're right, I should. Thank you.

This is a wonderful piece and I don't think you should remake it. If you do decide to remake it then I suggest making the blues and purples a little more refined. I would also make the insect a tad bit larger or darker. Just because it's kind of hard to see.Β

Beautiful piece of work. This was drawn perfectly. There is not anything about this piece that can be called horrid or bad. The way you drew the woman was phenomenal! I love how you colored the sky however maybe try to blend the colors? I know that was rude but this is still beautiful. Sorry if I came off as rude.

Beautiful work. Lines are delicate, girl's figure and lips are very feminine. Traditional crayons and lines brings soft, adroable effect. But maybe lineart for leaves shouldn't be so thick or at least green instead of blue?

Brynnerz [2015-08-27 14:58:28 +0000 UTC]

Wow. This is beautiful. I rarely see any traditional art that's much more than a quick black and white sketch on lined paper, and the uploaded picture isn't cropped or anything so this is truly beautiful compared to some other works out there. Without all the colouring I can see that this would be a very plain piece with only a little detail, but it's beautiful as it is now. The only issue I have is that her neck seems bent in a way that doesn't seem quite right, but other than that, I love this.

i'm pretty much interested at how you draw traditional art. the lineart is really perfect and wow that shading is 100/100. these plants on bottom are beautiful. backgrounds are kinda simple but it's awesome! her expression is matches perfectly while she look up. keep
up the great job you did there! you might get some improvement.

This is so amazing for a traditional art! I could never draw traditionally this good! oAo
The bg looks really cool and I love the different color of blue and the mix of purple in there! It makes it more real and better looking!
Her dress is wonderful with all the shadings and lines used <33 You're really good at shading also! *O*
And last but not least, I love the plants on the bottom! It adds a nice frame and it would look like something is missing if it weren't there!
Great job! Keep improving!Β  Β

This is a beautiful piece of work; the tones with the colouring pencils and the background are perfect.
Although there is something about theΒ neck that doesn't sit right with me, it's rather long and awkward. If this is how you wanted it to be, then it looks good, but if it isn't then I would consider fixing that up.
The dress looks wonderful, the lines and tone in it is lovely. The leaves are also very nice, while quite simple.
But my favourite part of this is the bug; he looks very natural and I like how the light is all coming from him.

So, excellent piece of work, but with a bit smoothing off to do.
