Description
Please full-view and all that.Note: This is Advanced Critique Encouraged, because it's color practice. The sketch itself is old and was hurried. So I would ask that you please comment with criticisms only on the coloring of the fawn and the background behind the wall only, please! I am aware of the other errors of the piece already.
I discovered in art class that I'm a loser at coloring--especially with colored pencils. So even though I didn't use colored pencils here (obviously), it was still practice with becoming more brave and experimental with colors, which I need sore help with. e_e
I think I should have added rays of light in -front- of her, so that it doesn't look like the light source is behind her, yet her cheeks are still highlighted anyway.
Overall, I'm semi-proud of the coloring (even though it doesn't look very great, the experiment went rather well, I'd like to think), though that might change when I actually look at this in the morning proper (past noon) rather than 2:30.
She's just a random fawn (am I even using the right word? Like C.S. Lewis' Tumnus was a fawn?) and not a real character of mine or anything, so she doesn't really have a name or backstory or anything. Go figure. I just sketched this out in b+w (hence the hatching in some areas) when trying to work on my friend's b-day present. Blah.

In what way are you bad at coloring? I never thought you were. o_O Color-coodinating? Shading? I think the coloring is fine.
And, no, it's "faun." Fawn is how you spell a baby deer. I'm surprised a Ralore didn't know the difference!

Thaaaat's it! I knew there was something wrong with the name, but I couldn't for the life of me--ahahah, that's what I get for trying to update past my bedtime. Now I remember the right spelling, haha--it's been a loooong time since I've seen the name of that lovely little mythological beastie. Too bad I'm too lazy to go back and correct it though.
Yes, I totally suck at coloring. e_e Shading's fine (black, white, and grayscale) except for my notorious contrast issues (rather, the lack thereof), but once you add in strange coloring effects (reflections, colored lights, fire, heavy shadows, etc.), I'm totally lost, hahaha. Thanks anyway, though. =3
