Description ---

I really don't know what to say about this one.

First of all, I tried out different styles of drawing and coloring, so this is a hugely experimental piece for me.
I spent a long time on it though, especially with the details and the coloring, so I hope the effort was worth it.

I'm aware of the mistakes in this picture regarding anatomy and placement of facial features (especially the lips). I'm also aware that the wings look off/stiff and the hands look awkward and the forearm length is wrong. Criticism is welcome as always but I probably won't go back to fix anything since I'm lazy and the sai file is huge OTL

She isn't supposed to be facing straight ahead, but slanted a little towards the left, evidenced by the comparative eye sizes. BD

I planned to draw a better background for it but I kind of like the effect the simple background has. A little.

---

Sorry if something doesn't make sense in this description, I'm very tired right now.

These last few days I've haven't been in the happiest mood, but thank you all for putting up with my moodiness even though you should probably yell at me XD;

---

I will try to upload more from now on.


Thank you for viewing ; u ; I hope you like it!

The haircolor is so pretty, Cheche!! And my favourite part is the eye, it's beautifully colored and shaded, it really stands out <3
I don't know if you'd like some help with the wings, but if so, talk to me over Skype, okay? I think I can explain better over there than in a comment XD
And I don't know if it was your intention, but I feel there's a wider space on the right, that could be cropped, or have some complement (a small creature? more vines/flowers?). Just to make it more balanced
You know I love your concept here, and the expression and colors fits well <3 I feel that you put a lot of effort both in the lineart and in the colouring, and it reflects in the result <3

I'm absolutely loving this experiment, Cheche! <3 Previous comments about the collar having the most depth of shading are absolutely true, it looks gorgeous! As do her beautiful eyes and hair.

One tip I have on the anatomy (I won't say what's wrong since you've stated you noticed) that may or may not help you at is that, at least for girls, the elbows tend to line up with just underneath a girl's breasts. So just doing that and then making the length "from shoulder to elbow" and the length "from elbow to wrist" roughly the same will help you get at least a rough approximation of decent anatomy. It's my personal way of cheating. |D;

You're so welcome! You deserve all the compliments this drawing is getting!

Actually, another tip I forgot to mention too is that if you're standing straight, your hand should just be able to reach the vee of your legs. (*insert innuendo here*) :3

Oooooo, the one eye is sort of creepy XD But I LOVE how this came out! Experimental or not, it looks great! The folds and shadows on the clothing look absolutely amazing! The way you did her blue eye is great and the hair's movement and coloring looks really stunning! (Only thing I would potentially recommend is being a little more daring with the shading on the skin? Maybe try and create some sharper contrast between the shadows and stuff... purple, surprising, is an amazing color to use in the darkest areas of skin... not saying that how you did the skin is bad though! Just thought I'd offer some constructive critique, lol). I really like the coloring style you tried on this piece overall though! Definitely a great start to your 'blank slate,' lol.

Ahhhh yeah I see what you mean, I should have added some darker shading 8D

No problem!!! I'm always afraid to offer people advice because I think they'll take it the wrong way, lol. I got the purple for shading skin tip off a tutorial though, haha. XD I don't blame you for not going back though, I wouldn't either unless there was actually a flaw ~ It can get annoying trying to change a piece once it's done, especially if you didn't save the colors you were working with, lol.

It's really nice. I really like the face and how the rose is popping out of the socket.

And the coloring of the eye is gorgeous so I do see a lot of improvement.
The dress collar is also nice. It's not too stiff or flat (like the rest of the dress) and it looks like it's actually popping out.

Hnngghhh the hair oh my god just look at that coloring. ; w ; I'm gonna take your hair coloring powers.

Ahhh yeah I see what you mean. Looking at it again, I think there's more depth to the collar than the rest of the dress, I should have shaded it better and added more highlights. D:

Thank you though!
LOL WHAT HAIR COLORING POWERS I DO NOT SEE
All I did was have like 10+ layers of shadows and highlights on the hair LOL JUST SPAM LAYERS DUDE 8D

And thank you so much Yume!! ; u ; I hope so! You too, okay? LOL >B^D>

I'd like to ask you in regards to the color in specific, does it looks better than previous pictures? And what's still wrong with it? Did I use dark enough colors for the shading or should I add another layer? What about highlights? 8D

I'm sorry I'm bothering you so much about this 8D OTL

Hmm well I'd say taht you should make your mouth bigger, Yes it's anime but even that mouth seem wayyy too small OTL. You could add on more layer of even darker tones IF that's what you're going for. Now you have to decide what kind of coloring do you want? xD;; it's kind of weird to ask but you need to know. ONce you know that then I can tell how to improve your coloring ..

FFF you're not bothering me *U* WE'RE ON THIS ROAD TOGETHER !

Oh my god--

okay, firstly, the eyes are GORGEOUS. Not too big on the shading, since I'm a celshade sort of girl, and the wings could look a bit more feathery but HSDFLAKSJLHFASD THOSE EYES.

and the lineart is clean as fuck and woah

my god it looks so lineless is this lineless I thought it was lineart but idk

I can tell you haven't been feeling very well lately but that's okay, man ;v; I hope you feel better soon, okay~~~?

Yeah you're right about the wings ; u ; I tried to make them look "dead"-ish or something fdjs; but then they ended up looking more like cardboard tee heee BD

Thank youuuu ; u ;
Lol it's not lineless but I colored the lineart afterwards plus the lines were thin in the first place 8D

I think that this is probably a turning point in your art works...XD
I can see so much hard work and beautiful details in this picture and I think it's great that you've deiced to take
a step out of your comfort zone to draw in a new kind of style.
I think your art's wonderful and refreshing, a different kind all together and I love looking at your pieces.
Keep going into experiments and such, because when you do you make outstanding new art.
I think it was worth your time to draw this, it may not be as perfect as you wanted it to be.
But I feel that this art really kind of showed everyone that your capable of so much.
Hope to see new and wonderful more art from you! <3
