Wow, this is so amazing!!  I love your colors.    What program do you use to paint with?

Btw, I kind of like the soft contrast, I think it makes the piece seem more dreamy.

I use photoshop too!    I know a lot of people who do really amazing stuff with Corel, SAI, etc. though too, so I was curious!  It's always good to be familiar with as many programs as possible.

Yes of course! But still I guess Photoshop is the most completed and elaborate one I am struggling with use of colour, that's the main challange fo me. Oh, and some shapes as well hahaha

This is an inspiring piece! I like the abstraction and fish/hair flowing stream you have going on. I think a little more contrast would make the piece pop a bit more off the page. Wonderfully smooth lead around the page, however. Great job, thanks for sharing!

oh thanks for such a lovely comment and feedback! It is so nice of you  
Actually, this is almost the most contrast I could make without distorting the idea and the colours. Because I am lazy, I incresed the contrast using photoshop settings and then painted over the areas which became too contrasted. But I wanted to have the colours pretty much like these, I ve got lots of colour options but this one is the brightest. But generally yes, all my drawings lacks contrast, I dont know why

Well that's not necessarily a bad thing if you chose to go that route intentionally. It's still very soft and airy, like being on a cloud or in a dream. It's such a minor personal aesthetic thing, and it doesn't take away from the beauty of the piece.

thanks again I thought of her floating in something which is not water, but more like milk - you know, like in adverts when they show hair conditioner with milk extracts But I should practice more and more and more and more
