Description I felt like challenging myself by trying to paint something I have usually have trouble with, figures. I didn't use a reference photo, so the proportions and lighting are probably really off. Although I didn't intend for it, she looks a lot like KittReworked [link] . I wasn't feeling very creative today.

Technical: Photoshop airbrush. wacom. The background is a photo of a small crack in my bedroom wall.

Wow, I really like this one. I wish it was bigger. I like the lighting (shading). It's really good. I also like the colors used. The shading seems to start in the wrong place on her belly, but it's still a great piece. Good job.

This is a beautiful piece of work. The composition is wonderful. Her elongated proportions are wicked. The red and black is very visually appealing, and the dark shadowing on her left side really makes her pop out and gives a lot of dimension. And there's just enough texture in the background to make it interesting.

Very nice work on the figure, it's good to attempt things you know you have trouble with ;]

You wasn't feeling creative on the day you made this - I don't want to see your skill when you're creative - perhaps always so good pictures like the one of Jennifer Lopez Waiting for tonight" ) are created at this phase. But this one is surely very good too. And don't worrie about figures - maybe the girl in the picture is a bit "long" but the rest is exellent ( especially without a reference photo - I often have to use a reference ).

Wow! you are so talented. This is wonderful, so realistic and her boots look so much like leather. I also love the style of the outfit and the girl is very beautiful. I think her proportions are excellent as as stated she looks completely realistic!

bunfi [2002-05-03 22:38:55 +0000 UTC]

nice mixture of both your "doll-like" and realistic style ...
the dress really has a smooth look
no need to check proportions here ...
the face is what i like most ... you used very soft lines here

as far as i know, a grey background puts a special emphasis on warm colours (like red, orange and yellow) ...
strange: right now, i'm painting a picture with pastels also showing a red-dressed woman , but i spend most time on drawing a realistic dress instead of drawing a whole person ...

i'll post it as soon as i finish it ...

don't be so hard on yourself, you did an excelent job
she may be a little to thin, but not unrealisticly thin ...
i would only like if i could see her face a little better, i think you darkened that side a bit too much ... but still great work
i love the color of that dress too

Great work minix! Her left side is a bit dark for my taste, doesn't go well with such a clear background. Btw, talking about background, glad to see you didn't have problems this time
Well done

You don't give yourself enough credit.
Its beautiful. The fact that you did not use a photo reference
is a bonus point.
I think the only thing you should try is, smooth the outside edges of the girl a little.
Keep up the great work.
