Thank you so much! I'm really excited about it. I didn't get to play with it for two weeks while I was out of town, but I'm back now so I'll be getting back into the groove!

Thank you! Yes, the tablet does make it much easier. My hand doesn't hurt at all with the tablet like it did with the mouse. I hope you get one someday! They're a lot of fun to use. Thanks again! As always the feedback means so much to me!

I like the purple tones of her hair and the dress.
Her skin is too yellowish, it's pretty hard to paint a proper skintone on a violet background I had problems with it when I drew 'Violet'. Maybe this tutorial will help you [link] it helped me a lot. Even so you did a great job on the shadings and lights Keep up the good work!

Chalaya In reply to Noack-Art [2012-07-20 17:55:36 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! Yeah, I thought the skin may be too yellowish as well. I faved that tutorial you sent me. It looks really helpful! Otherwise, I'm so glad you like it anyway. I was pretty proud of the shading. Thanks again!!!

you are welcome. I'm sure you can improve this very quick, because the skin you paint with traditional media always looks good.

How did you make those roses so full and shiny? They look fresh and just picked, I've always wanted roses like that! T.T
I really like the tender colours, this is like straight from those "how to draw"- magazines where they tell which colours go with others.
Hooray for tablet, me want one too! Now you can get all crazy draeing more deep eyes and shiny hair! (I have a crush on all the eyes you draw so please make more pretty pictures!)

Chalaya In reply to CarmenFoolHeart [2012-07-20 17:53:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Yeah, I the tablet. It really helps because the mouse made my hand cramp up so. I'm so glad you like the eyes! I didn't draw this myself, but I had lots of fun coloring it and eyes are always one of my favorite parts to do. I did the roses pretty much like I would do them with my pencils. I just chose a really light pinkish red for the highlights, a basic red for the mid-tones and a really dark red for the shadows and just colored it in. Want to know something? The roses were actually completed with the mouse. I started coloring this before my husband got the the tablet and the roses were the first thing I finished. The roses took me about a week to do, working on them bit by bit. Once I got the tablet, I finished the rest of the picture in a day! LOL!

Oh thanks for such detailed answer.
You really seem to have technique at hand, even if tablet is different than basic drawing. I'm so looking forward to what ever you shall do next! ^^
Those roses were my really worth all the time it took you to make them!

Chalaya In reply to CarmenFoolHeart [2012-07-23 01:52:10 +0000 UTC]

You're always welcome hon! I'm glad the roses turned out well since they were the hardest thing to do. I'm still working on tablet technique, but I hope to get it down soon. The practice is fun anyway. Much more fun than a mouse!

Thank you hon! I was the best of gifts and yes, I'll definitely be doing more digital coloring. It's so much easier with the tablet because the mouse hurts my hand so much. I'm so glad you like the roses too. They're my favorite part!
