Description I've been working on and off on this for 4 months. Can't look at it anymore. She looks like she's in pain, and the colours are meh and the background is booring. But I kinda learned how to draw drops, so I'm happy.

Or no, I'm not, because I saw this a couple of days ago :C [link] This happens to me a lot, I get an idea but then I discover that someone else has gotten the same idea and ended up with a better result. At least I see how things can be done better for the next time I choose to make something like this.

Wonderful illustration I wouldn't call the background boring... maybe plain, but a plain background often draws more attention to the focal elements

true It seems like I sometimes try to make things more complicated than they are

Yeah I often find myself guilty of that too, but sometimes less is more

I think it is an amazing art. 4 days, 4 months.. years... It doesn't matter how long it takes.

You are an awesome artist.

thank you so much for the beautiful comment! and yes, the point of painting is not getting finished as fast as possible, but to achieve a result you feel is "complete".

Indeed! Actually, I admire you for how long you managed to keep going and working on it. I tend to break and leave it unfinished if it takes too long.. I am trying to make myself work on stuff I neglected for long, but I can't always find the time.

All and all, you should actually be proud you how long you worked until it was done!

Well it's not that admirable, I did break and leave it, but then I came back to it after a while^^ most of my drawings are finnished that way... and again, thank you for the nice comments

FUK YOUR NICE LIGHTNING

And you water drop skills. But DAYM 4 months is a pretty long time :U Often ends with just finishing for the sake of getting it done.
Turned out pretty sweet though, would maybe have been better with some more contrast on the flower and the green background, but that's just me. Hars lines everywhere :V

I love the different shades of green in this~

You should put your drawings away if you are tired of them/not inspired atm, and then work on them when you feel like it again It helps when it comes to (boring) detail work and such.

Aaaaand when it comes to contrast: yes, I agree, but harsh linessss, nonono. Can't do it. *mental blockage* o.O
