Impact


The style relates to Art Nouveau and it is wonderful on how everything was place together. I liked the dynamic movement of her heir as she is playing the double bass. The fabric coming a little shy of crossing the border and it is not helping. perhaps, you should have it: leave the image, trapped in the border or cropped at the border. Also I am not sure about the red and violet colors on the dress at the bottom. To me it seemed like a good risk in order to help her seem more life like but at the end a little off color.

For the most part you stayed faithful to the image you used as a reference and at the same time applied the Art Nouveau style to the image. The flowers also help in making it an new work rather than a duplication.

Your attention to details is excellent. You have a good sense proportions. In Addition, you did fine job at depicting the creases and wrinkles on the figures dress. I also liked the texture on the double bass. You also left some light values as lines on the edges of the creases and wrinkles which is a nice touch.

For the most part it is a very beautiful work; however, what made it loose some impact is the colors are not bright and contrast enoff. Her hair blinds in to much with the flowers. Also as much as I like the teture you can make them less extreem. Her dress can also be a little brighter. Something to help seperate her from the envionment. She is the subject matter so she should stand out more than the flowers.

Other than that is is a great work. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Thumbs Up"/>

Thank you for the critiqie!
You've commented exactly the elements I needed input on. I've thought that the colors in the overall look were off, but everyone I asked didn't see the problem and claimed that the picture is perfect. =.= But then again, they don't deal with art on a regular basis and anything better than a stick-figure is perfect for them. Thank you again for your feedback.

Hello! I'm making a series of art videos about flowers, and I was wondering if I could include this piece in one of my videos. It would be set to an original classical-style composition (by me) about this flower. I'll be sure to credit you and link to your page if you say yes. Here's a link to see the kind of music it is: [link]

Of course you can include it in your video. I really like your music; it reflects the flowers' essence well.

I really like the colours here and the atmosphere. The cello is a nice touch too. The textures are maybe a bit too much or a bit too strong. Anyhow really beautiful piece with lots of nice details.

I doubt I would get to editing this pic at this point, but if I do I will soften the textures a bit. Thank you for the feedback.

Thank you.

Heh, happens sometimes, I notice similar drawings pretty often, which just proves that everything has been done before. XD
In this case, when the pose is kinda essential with this kind of instrument, it is easier to find similarities.

hehe you're right : P
funny that nothing is original .. it's all influenced from things you saw before.

Itzea In reply to ElineS-kunst [2011-03-03 22:15:33 +0000 UTC]

It's basicly what creativity works: take something from here, a bit from there, add your heart and show how it all is seen through your eyes, and voila! We have something not entirely original, but undoubtedly unique.

Dzięki.
Szczerze mówiąc nie byłam pewna, czy to naprawdę dobrze razem wygląda, czy nie za duży kontrast... Do tego Art Nouveau preferuje raczej ciepłe kolory, a ja wyskoczyłam z tym niebieskim... No ale jak jest dobrze to bardzo się cieszę.

So I've been ridiculously busy for the past few months and thus a bit lazy in responding to people's use of my stock, but when I saw this and your other piece, I had to comment and favourite right away. I cannot tell you how beautiful I find these two pieces. They are so dreamy, and Mucha-esque, and so creatively beautiful! I can't get enough of your work, please keep it up! And thanks so much for using my stock!!

Thank you very much!
I should be thanking you for making your stocks. Many of your photos are so dreamy and ethereal, just perfect for the Art Nouveau style. And the long, folding dresses are just what I need to study to make my future pieces look more realistic. I plan on using a few more of your photos as references if you don't mind.
