Girl, this is CRAZY AWESOME!!! I just adore what you did with the colors here. It has this dreamy kind of look to it. The pinks are just phenomenal! I adore her hair! That little bit of shine at the bangs is just genius! And bravo on the netting around the bottom of her skirt too! That pose is so cute. Love the legs with the way that knee turns in! Just gorgeous!

you are too kind hun thank you! ^__^
I really had fun drawing her! LOL i loved how you called me brave XD....but honestly sometimes I think I rush on that kind of stuff and i could do better! I do love how the hair came out ...and as far as the pose goes ...that's just the way she normally poses on all the ads ...see XD [link]

You're most welcome hon! I don't think anything about this piece looks rushed, so if you did rush it's really hard to tell. I know how you feel though. There are parts of all my artwork that I rush, and I'm always so tempted to rush backgrounds. I think you did an amazing job on the pose anyway, even if you did use a reference. I use refs all the time in my drawings.

Thanks again....I think that I can be a little hard on myself sometimes! yea I've been using a lot of references lately! They do come in handy!

I think all artists are harder on themselves than they should be, myself included. Anytime I draw something I'm always picking it apart. But really, you do an amazing job Nitasha! You should always be proud of what you do!

I'd be quite lost without references. I wish I could draw more from imagination but that takes more practice than I've had.

very true! ...i do it all the time! ....and thanks for the support! you know truthfully ...i kinda hate using references but they definitely do come in handy sometimes.....lately i feel that i need to get back to drawing from the imagination....but on the other hand ....i really like doing Fan art! a habit that i gotta learn to break someday!

What's wrong with fanart? I don't think there is anything wrong with a healthy mix of fanart and original art. You've got to allow yourself to draw what you love or else, what's the point? Don't limit yourself to one thing or the other, just draw what you're inspired to draw at the moment. Know what I mean? I know what you mean about the reference thing. That's one reason I'm doing my challenge. I'd love to be able to draw from imagination but as it is right now, I really can't do it. I don't have enough knowledge of human figures to do it. Maybe I've done it a couple of times, but those were apparently flukes b/c I haven't been able to do it since.

......you make a good point....i don't believe anything is wrong with fanart ...i actually love to do it ....i guess it's just because i haven't drawn an original work for a while ..........i hope i didn't offend you
I know you can do it Cassie! Just keep practicing hun! It will break through soon! ^___^ you are making great progress! And i cheer for you every time i see a new piece of yours!

Oh Gosh NO, you didn't offend me at all!! I don't think you're even capable of that, hon. No, I was just giving you a bit of a pep talk is all. I haven't drawn fanart in quite awhile so most of my new stuff is original anyway. No, no, all I was saying is that if you're in the mood for fanart, you should draw fanart. If you're in the mood for original stuff, do that. Drawing what you want to draw will help to keep you motivated. That's all!

Thanks so much too, for the support! You're such a wonderful friend. I really need to get back to my practicing. I feel hard off the horse, but I can always get back up.

Lol awww thank you! I feel the same about you too! I kinda figured it was a pep talk! ^___^ ...your original stuff is so nice Cassie! I will try to stay motivated on my book project that I am doing right now! 

Awww you're welcome! You always have my support and you are a wonderful friend too! Lol you did not fall off a horse!   you are silly!

I hope you do get your book finished. How wonderful that would be! You'll have to keep me updated on how you're doing with it! I know you're not posting any of it here, which is probably a wise thing to do but I'm excited to hear how it's going nonetheless. I've always kind of wanted to write a children's book myself. I've had a few ideas but getting a book published is the hardest thing to do! Anyway, good luck with yours! I know it's going to by dynamite!

That would be so cool if we co-wrote a book someday! Maybe when life calms down a bit for both of us. How do you like your new class so far? I know you're so busy with them. I hope you can get some time to yourself soon. I'll look forward to more of your awesome progress whenever you do get the time.

one day it would be an honor to co write with you! ^__^ of course when life is not so busy!

this ...set...of....kids...is a ...whole...bunch...of ....BOYS!!!! ROUGH HOUSING IT ALLLLL DAY!!! I AM GOING NUTS! I GOT LIKE MAYBE 5 GIRLS AND 13 BOYS!!!!!! I'M LOOSING MY MIND AND I CAN'T ESCAPE WORK EVEN AT HOME! MAN I AM SO STRESS!
as you can tell...as soon as i get home i make friends with the couch and nap for a second with my son going "Mama wake up!!!!" O___o

Chalaya In reply to Tanis711 [2013-11-14 01:38:08 +0000 UTC]

Definitely when things calm down for both of us!

13 boys, are you kidding me?!!! I hate to say it, but I do not envy you that! My kiddo is in a class with all boys and he's already picking up some of their behavior. Just the other day he said "buggerbutt"! I guess it's the choice phrase of one of the kids in his class. I guess it could be worse, but we don't let him say "butt" and he knows it. *sigh* I can see why you're super stressed with 13 of those little monsters running around. I think your friendship with the couch is a well deserved one!

LOL!!! I have totally heard worse over the years but i have heard something along that line more commonly! XD
I sooooooooooo love my couch......until a loveable 3 year old jumps on top of me! i think i have finally given up on naps!

The things kids say can be so funny sometimes. I mean, where does one even come up with buggerbutt? Only a little boy...

I have definitely given up on naps. I tried to grab them when I could, but every time I got comfy my son wanted me to play with him, or take him outside or something. How do you say no to that?!
