Description Picture I did for a live broadcast. I recorded the progress here: [link] (tip: turn the sound off, it's really gravelly and staticky)

I freaked out halfway through when I realized I had no references, haha. oops. I think she's related to Ronald McDonald.

Thanks everyone who tuned in! If you have any more questions leave 'em here.

Honestly, I love the hair. There's something very sculptural about it. Lovin' the palette too

I saw the beginning of the progress - then I had to go to bed. Hope to follow an other broadcast someday. It's inspiring!

Hi there! I like your drawing and colouring style very much
Also, watching the video really helped me appreciate the little details - like the rose, which looks great. And if you don't mind me saying, this picture has a very leonardo-da-vinci-esque feel to me, for some reason...
i think it might be the colours you chose, and her expression?
Anyway, amazing!

It was so calming watching you draw that after an hour I fell asleep and drooled all over my hand... Dx
And I really like the result, your shading is simply awesome. Especially the hair.
Thanks for recording it!

It would help this image a lot to make that rose red. Not because of the title, but because it really seems to need just one little pop of saturated color, and red would look great against all those muted, neutral greens.

just watched bits of the video - you are a total freak! How did you know where the light fell and what colours to use, and how to make them blend? ahh! amazing
PS - brilliant taste in music

It's pretty basic "somewhere over there on the left" lighting.

It's a lovely image, but how exactly is she holding that rose

thundercake In reply to Eshva [2009-06-19 01:04:52 +0000 UTC]

it's held up by her thumb under the leaf and stabilized by her forefinger.

Aha, thanks for recording it! I'll check it out now I think her arm looks a bit long, but I really like it overall. Especially her expression. It's difficult to... decipher, I think.

Wow carto, this is amazing! I love how the cloth just sorta drapes over her shoulder like that, you're very good when it comes to fabric.

I really like this! I think her nipples look a little lopsided, but the rest of the painting is really nice. When do you do live streams? I keep missing out.

I decide to do it abruptly. I'll schedule another later in the week.
