Description
Recently, I've found it to be very hard to carve time from my schedule to do artwork. I took the PSATs this weekend; it was easy but long. Also, I lost my geometry textbook, which suckedBut anyway, please critique this piece? I'm hoping to finish it next week (I started it last week). I'm especially looking for guidance in anatomy and lighting and perspective and composition because I need to work on those things lol
Thanks a bunch! <3
Edit: Also, I'll scrap this later lol

I just have no time, what with school and all. :/ I wouldn't be able to give her the application that she deserves. Are you applying?

Ok I shall try...
The skirt looks like you're looking from a bird's-eye-view angle, but the body is more of a lower angle. So the skirt should be a little less circular?
Your colous are so bright and happy, it's very nice.

Pretty colors. *Too lazy to crit*
I took the PSATS this week too. I found the last part (the literary/grammar) to be easy. But the math section killed me at the end.

I think this picture is really gorgeous, I love the idea of the dress twirling or how it looks. I can't really give advice as I'm horrible with drawing people, but good luck with your app! By the way, how old is Admonit suppose to be?^^

Admonit is actually 24, but she's shown as a 7-8 year old in this picture ^^

Hi Galbeeee! (Reminds me of Calbee, the potato chip brand.)
As usual, your colors are amazing; I already like the way the dress is looking. In terms of critique, most of the adjustments you might want to make have been mentioned already. You could try making the dress less circular and more oval to make the perspective agree with what you have going on with the girl. You're doing a really difficult pose, so I can only advise looking for reference pictures! I love doing hands so if you find a p-chat program we could have a brief exchange about them.
On themes/focus: is the girl looking at something exactly where the reddish dot is? What will it be? TwT

:0 Fascinating!
Thanks a bunch for the crit! Yeah, I've found a couple of reference pictures, but I need to shoot my own for the most accurate effect. Yes, we should do a paint chat!! ... (on what site, though? -is clueless-)
She was originally supposed to be sending out a dove. But then I didn't know how to draw the dove. So I guess she's just saluting the sky now. (The red dot is supposed to be a palette! xD)

Hey, G, there's a weird little red dot up there in the corner. Might want to fix that.
Other than that, I am in no way qualified to crit your artwork. XD

i'll try to do this the best i can (: :
- dealing with a slight lowered eye perspective, the left hand should be overlapping the shoulder. the shoulder itself is drawn as if the viewers eye is facing the object, not looking down, like what you're trying to portray. same with the right hand/shoulder,the spacing between them should be exended and the hand should be lowered.
- the chest area is also drawn from a default view. in this case, you should only be able to see the upper chest, not the upper stomach area. pretending this character has big tits (lol) it would be like drawing them so you see the outline like the letter 'w'.
-the dress seems like its a full, symmetrical circle. from the back it should be assymetrical to the front, and maybe hide some parts (since naturally, a dress billowing in the area wouldn't be so even like that)
that's it. the colors are amazing, and i also like the face *0* gl!

the right hand [viewer's] needs some angling because it just looks stiff like that also if you are trying to do a perspective here shouldnt the hands be a little bigger?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Galbinus In reply to francis-john [2009-10-18 23:16:19 +0000 UTC]
So, should I turn her hand more to our right? Or perhaps angle it upwards? yes, it does look stiff (I can't draw perspectives/hands; a combination of both is frightening)
How much bigger do you think her hands should be?

francis-john In reply to Galbinus [2009-10-18 23:22:38 +0000 UTC]
angle it to the right, and I dont know just scale it until you see it fit
