Description
For 's contest 'Underwater'.LINES ARE NOT MINE, they belong to ~a-bell-of-luminosity
Underwater? That's one of the few things I CAN draw. The bubbles were probably the easiest thing to do in this piece.
Used a reference for the dress [link] so thanks to everyone who gave me counselling on my journal where I fretted about using references. I hope I'm a bit better at fabric now
Thanks for looking, any ways that I can improve, let me know

Thanks for the link! That's actually not my art there - they use the same lineart and probably entered the same contest as me though! Thanks for the compliment

Wow...you've really managed to convey a realm of textures effortlessly. The lighting on her face is so exquisite and subtle. And I love the way you've colored her dress...

Thank you so much! Texture is my new worst enemy, it's taken the top spot away from lighting, which I'm finding easier now!

You're so good at both texture and lighting, though!

I like the lighting effects. The way the green-blue reflects off the shady part is really cool. The bubbles look like real bubbles do underwater. I love howmuch detail you put into the hair. I also like the shading you did on the wrinkles.

I like giving detailed comments because one word comments are of no use to the artist. I like it when people give me critism so that I know where to improve or where I did good.

I'll have a look and see if I can give you some advice then

I color linearts for practice, so that one day I might be good enough and have enough motivation to create my own picture all the way through the process, sketch to colors. I also do it for fun, if the lines are pretty, I like adding color to them just for the sake of it. I'm always striving to be better though.

Gah I know, the thiing about all these wavy things that people keep putting in the lineart is that you get confused about which is hair and which is fabric D:
Aw thanks so much!

awesome work! great job on the darkness bellow to indicate the depths of the looming ocean. also really nice job on the clothing, that must have taken a bit of time to do

Thanks so much for the detailed comment! With the reference handy, the fabric was probably one of the easiest bits to do, I think the hardest bit was the lighting, especially on the hair D: also skin tones GRAAAAAAGH
