Description Media: Hand drawn by mechanical pencil, lined by Sakura (Micron) Fineliners, and coloured in Photoshop CS

Time Spent: .5 hour drawing, .5 hour lineart, 15 hour CG.

A CG I did of a random person . Her eyes sorta had that mysterious look to it, with a smile that matched the eyed. Hence the name (Mona Lisa Smile).

Okay, I know the my pathetic attempt to create a nice background did turn out pretty horrible... but I liked the brushes, and that's all that counts

hope you guys like it!

Edit: Added hairshines and fixed her posture and figure a little...

Yay! Another CG XD The hair is nice and I like how you coloured the skin. The girl's waist seems too thin though. The background is well-done, but the colours don't really match those of the foreground. Other than that, it's great! Keep up the good work and POST YOUR STUFF ON THE FORUM >_<

That's a really sweet looking girl you have here, and her smile seems indeed 'mysterious' like Mona Lisa's. I think the background seems nice.

And you can see that you've spent some time with her... I can spend 15 hours in a handmade A3-paper drawing (5 hours of sketching, 5 hours of
inking and 5 hours of colouring) so I'm the worst. --;

xD. Thanks! For taking your time to comment. 5 hours of inking?...>.< That explains why my lineart is so terrible...

Well that's mainly because I'm such a slow and precise when I draw AND because I'm still not so very good in inking since I've done it just about two years...

Looks very good! I think the background looks great! Though maybe, her hair could use a little more shading
in it. Over all though, it looks great!

I think the background looks very nice. You could always pass it off as representing the inner turmoil lying behind that smile.

I'd say the overall anatomy is pretty good; the shoulder could use more volume and the eye on the right is a bit too far right, albeit the eyes are VERY pretty. The folds in the fabric don't really conform to the shape of the body, but I can't hold that against you as I personally have no idea why I put folds where I do. The shading on the hair leaves some to be desired... Well, actually, the shading is great, but it could use more highlights and strand definition on the top of the hair and bangs.

Generally speaking it's a very nice picture and you did a wonderful job depicting you're beautiful character and her mysterious grin. Rawk on, d00d.

I'll keep those things in mind... Yea, I really don't know where the folds go, and more highlights would make the hair look better... Maybe I'll replace it with a newer version...

Thank you! for taking your time to write such a long comment. It was really helpful, and I really appreciate it! "Rawk on" to you too!
