Description Well, this piece might be better (considering the two days I spent drawing it), but what the hell, I'm now too tired to change anything about it. So there you have it.
It's Susan Sto Helit, the daughter of Ysabell and Mort from the previous Discworld picture. As I imagine her. Well.
You know, I am trying hard to get better at drawing humans, so if it's not anything like "OMG go dig yourself somewhere it's some extremely sick shitz", critique is very welcome.

Apocalyptica fanart comes next. I don't have the smallest clue which song... But they simply deserve it. I hope I'll get to the concert.

character(c)Terry Pratchett

Susan became my favorite Discworld character as soon as she was introduced. I love this picture!

Wow! This look so professional and realistic! I adore the wrinkles and gothic color spectrum you used here. The skin looks so smoothe and pale like porcelain and I like how she actually looks like she has a realistic body figure and not an anorexic anime one.

The individual strands of hair is a nice detail and I can get over the awsome wrinkles! The ruffles are perfect and I like the curly hair strands too. ^^ The background is simple but fitting, making sure you pay attention where it matters most. Although the shadow completely mists over the left arm, it's realistic as her body angle is blocking it from light....very nice. You did an awsome job on this. I don't have a single critique for you! Your human anatomy is perfect and everything..It deserves so much attention! Keep it up!

Well, there are many, many mistakes (others have pointed them out to me - you can read the critique and comapre ), but I think this picture is a good start, let's say, if I continue practising, I might get better and better
Thank you for your comment anyway

Tak todle už je fakt paráda, nemám slov. Zvlášť ty hadříky jsou dokonalý.
Jen nesrovnalost v osvětlení mi dává myslet si, že ona postavička utíká "z rámu" temného prostředí do prostoru mého prosvětleného monitoru ^^ (hergot to je zase komplikovaná myšlenka)...
...ale nemůžu říct, že je to šatně, protože takhle si jí můžu alespoň pořádně prohlédnout. A ona se potřebuje taky občas provětrat, když pořád někde visí v zatuchlém rámu.

BTW Byla si na Apocalyptice? Já tam stál ve frontě mezi prvními (jako doprovod) a když začali pouštět dovnitř tak jsem se zas musel procpat ven což jak si jistě dovedeš představit nebylo nic lehkého. Jsem se ven dostal asi za 10 minut.

I think it looks great, personally. The wrinkles in the clothing, the expression, her eyes, all good. I think you're crazy to think it's not good. It's in my favourites now, at least.

Ta ruka nesedí, nevím proč, ale na první pohled mi přijde taková pavoukovitá, možná je v nepřirozeném úhlu nad tou knihou. Obličej mi přijde trošku šatně vystínovaný co se týče spojení s vlasy - ty vlasy ohromně září, což při tomto temnošerém osvětlení není přirozené, a vypadá tak, že ty vlasy prostě nejsou součástí hlavy.

Ale to je asi tak vše ke konstruktivní kritice, protože jinak myslim, že je to úžas - podle mého veliký skok dopředu! Jen tak dál!

Gardi In reply to akelataka [2007-09-07 15:59:43 +0000 UTC]

No, musim uznat, ze ve vsem s tebou souhlasim ^^ Ruka je fakt lamacka, protoze pro me bylo tezky si ji predstavit a jeste k tomu nakreslit. Oblicej to same a s temi vlasy mi to doslo zahy, ze mnohem jednodussi bych mela, kdybych si vybrala postavu s tmavsimi.
Jinak ja mam ted hrozne dilema, proste nevim, jak kreslit lidi, kteri jsou v malo osvetlenem, nebo nedej boze skoro temnem prostredi, bojim se tech barev. Zkousim koukat na fotky a tak, ale nejak porad nemuzu prijit na kloub tomu, jak to vyvest... Takze, jak sis spravne simla, kreslim, jako by byli na normalnim dennim svetle a pak to dopada takhle katastroficky. Zkratka na tom musim jeste hooooooo...dne zapacovat. Ale snad to nejak zvladnu.
Pristi obrazek by se uz mohl povest lepe, no, tedy alespon doufam. Hlavne si predtim budu muset udelat par studii, ocividne.

Jasně, už na tomhle obrázku je vidět, že ses tomu věnovala a snažila se. Stínování je jedna z nejhorších a nejtěžších věcí na světě (rozuměj v oblasti malování ^^), tak ti přeji ať to brzy zmákneš. Já sama mám v mysli jeden obrázek už asi půl roku, ale ztroskotala jsem právě na stínování...

This is brilliant - very conservative, very fitting.
Maybe you could experiment with the framing? Also this simplistic design fits well as it is!

I can only repeat what others said and say that itďs brilliant. Just out of curiosity... did you use any reference or is it all just from your imagination?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Gardi In reply to shertso [2007-09-03 17:22:02 +0000 UTC]

Of course I did Well, I spent some time staring at my sister's face to learn where exactly the shades are supposed to be, whether their are rather dark or a bit "light"... The dress is, I'd say, 50% reference (mainly because of the folds - I'm still too much of a loser to just think up everthing) and 50% my imagination (lace, colour - taken from the initial background, extra shades and lights and even (EVEN! ) some extra folds and strokes which I just felt like adding, thinking it would look better - and the arms and were originally in a different position, so I had to "think that up" as well - that hand is one big experiment - I think you can easily see it). And.. yea, that's it ^^ In short, I think I might draw the face, but the dress would take aaages to draw if I ddin't have any reference.
By the way, thank you (all) for your comments, but there are still sooo many people fa-ar better than I am! And that's what makes me try hard to make at least a little progress with every picture I draw. Yea.

shertso In reply to Gardi [2007-09-04 08:09:14 +0000 UTC]

I still adore the coloring of the dress. It makes me almost feel the fabric. o,o
Now that you mentioned it, I can see that the hand is a bit odd.
There are always people better than you, even if you're a professional.
Oh and one more thing; which program did you use to color it?

Urm..
The shading rocks,
It's smooth, but sketchy all the same, (I like that)
-and is very cleverly layered out.
-I love dark pictures, and background as well.

Every picture has a focus-point.
I love the face and the eyes,
but I find myself staring at the hand a lot more than the rest of the picture.
The hand grabs my attention!--
(Metaphoric?) =Þ

This is like.. ...critique-proof~
~I tried really hard, but couldn't pick at anything.
~It's flawless.
There's so much good detail in there it's not even funny~

Felidire In reply to Gardi [2007-09-04 04:24:55 +0000 UTC]

The Artist never sees a picture as flawless,
Likely because it's near-impossible to draw exactly what you visualize.

we don't see what you visulazie,
only what you draw,
Hence, to me it's flawless ^^

My gosh, Gardi. You always amaze me with every new picture you do. Youre style is progressing so very well, and you always seem to make the best of your works. The amount of detail, whether it be lines or with colour, is simply fantastic. You're a brilliant artist, and I can really tell you have a massive artistic future ahead of you. Especially if you continue to draw this greatly.

I dont think there's anything I could critique on. Seriously. It's perfect.
