Description
Finally. Finished it. x___x; I've been working on this on and off for the last month and a half! And been finished 2 "Pale Blue Gray" Ciaos in the process. Not to self: by Sketches next time. ._.;SO! It's my Lorelei ... She sweeeeeeeeeet! And this is the first coloured drawing that I've done of her in, oh, a year and a half? x__x Longer, even. And it scanned terribly because I didn't want to rip it out of my sketchpad! T_T I'm taking it into school tomorrow to see if I can include a sketchbook of stuff in my anime style in my portfolio, and I don't trust my bag to not eat it whole.
BLAH.
Yes, Lorelei. Looking, as my mum put it when I asked if she was too angry, "forlorn". o_o; She looks sort of flat ... it's kinda hard to tell the difference between her skin and her dress ... >_<. I reeeeally like her dress and hair, anyway! The ringlets and frills actually took about an hour alone to ink ... because I'm slow like that. But I'm pleased with them. Blargh.
The title ... Lorelei is as good as mute. She very, VERY rarely talks; when she does, it's only ever something incredibly important. Like, life or death situation. Not like normal speech at all, either. Otherwise she talks through her brother, by controlling his speech ... because they have freaky-deaky-mindy-links ... YEAH ENOUGH OF THAT! She has a pretty harp and she plays it all the time and here it is kthx
... Oh yeah, anyone else who tells me that she looks like Mana will die a SLOW and PAINFUL death. SERIOUSLY.
Pleeeeeeeeease give me some of that lovely-lovely critique on this one and rip it up into little tiny pieces? I'll love you even more!
Materials: ink, markers, acrylics, ink, salt. Time: ... something like 20 hours? x_x Slowly, on and off since half way through October.

My sister plays harp which makes me love this 1xinfinity much :3
She's so beautiful, I'm sure her music sounds much the same.
I can't rip this to shreds with criticism because I like it too much... ;-; Maybe if you draw something AWFUL I can rip that apart JK! XD

Really lovely image. I've always been fond of harps and I think you've done nicely with this one. I really love her dress, it's so beautiful, and her hair! Beautiful.

I really love it! I like the colours you used that give it a sad-like feeling, I can almost smell the rain outside
and I have to confess something...when you posted it uncoloured on the EGL community I saved it on my HD and started to colour it mine turned out very crappy though
XOXO

^__^ Thank-you very much for that!
I use alcohol-based markers to colour ... mainly Trias and Copic "Ciaos", the latter being the easier to use due to the brush tips. They can be a bit tricky to get used to at first, but once you've got the hang of them, they're amazingly easy to use. And the inks are generally transparent, so they can be built up and overlapped to create nice atmospheres.

This is incredible. Your attention to details is magnificent. With all the details, and your style of drawing features, it gives it a gentle dark victorian look. It really catches the eye, and the colours are supurb. Your anatomy is lanky, but I have assumed that that is your style (and i like it). And, once again, not a major problem, it's still beautiful, and it's probably your style, but her face is up high/hairline is low. O_o But, i really think that is your style, so it's ok. ^_^ I love it, and I love your work. ^_^ So, have a day!

Awww this is so pretty! I love the hair and the eyes. Also the hand is really positioned nicely in relation to the harp. Very pretty, and I love the dress. XD

She's beautiful! My only critisism would be that he body line is a bit twisted, and she looks uncomfortable. But apart from that, I love it!

OH MY DEAR LORD. This is amazing. AH. I just love it.
But anyway, enough of my fangirling.
The only things I can see that could be improved is the angle of the neck look a little stiff and unatural, and the hand farther away from you is bigger then the one that's closer.
But other than that, i can't find anything wrong, it gorgeous and the marker work is AMAZING.

She's gorgeous o_o I especially love her hair, and the shininess on each of the little ringlettes And her eyes are so pretty
I would critique this, but I'm afraid I don't have the right to as I have absolutely NO talent in drawing -sweatdrop- XD It looks perfect to me anyways.
Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff ^_^ +watch
