Thank you for taking the time to critique my drawing. I see what you mean about the symbol. I think those symbols look okay in The Four Elements (collage) [link] but as a single piece it might have been better if the background of the symbol is not so white.

Thank you again!
Mayumi

You're welcome. I like critiquing - fun thing about being a member. I see what you mean about the collage, it does look a lot better there and the placement too is really nice.

that's awesome did you use an eraser to create those water lines?

Yes, I used a kneadable eraser to create them.

Your shading is so soft and beautiful! However, I think you should either darken her hair or the background a bit. This will help define the subject and make her POP out of the picture.

Thank you so much for the compliment, and thanks also for the input! I will keep that in mind when I draw.

I love the way you used the same stock account for these four works and yet they all look slightly different from the lovely stock model. Marvellous!

I always try to make changes so my drawings are not just reproduction of stock photos. Thanks for noticing my effort!
