Description Okay, so I'm not usually a huge Disney fan, but oh my gosh, I LOVE Moana!!!! So, naturally, I had to paint her. I figured it would be a good practise of drawing humans, but not in a realism style as I've been attempting lately. And I actually LOVE how it turned out! Obviously it's not without flaws, but I feel like it really helped with my attention to detail and colours! I also got a lot of help and critique from Snowfeather4876 so that was helpful too! But yeah, I'm really happy with it! I think what I need to work on next is becoming less reliant on the eyedropper tool (hahahahahaha) and developing my eye for colour, as well as working on being more creative, rather than just painting from references (that's not to say I won't use references but just not painting the ref exactly as it is!).
Anyway, if you haven't watched Moana, I seriously recommend you go do so! The animation's stunning and the soundtrack is amazing (of course, given that Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote it)!

Ugh, I took a break from DeviantART and totally missed all your beautiful updates. This one is STUNNING. Moana was one of the most stunning movies ever, IMO. I actually thought you just posted a picture straight from the movie, I didn't realize you painted this! Very impressive!

Legit I thought this was an actual image from the movie, but then I remembered the other drawings you've done and I was like "Leafy doesn't post screenshots... did she draw this???!!?!?!?!!!?!!?!!!!!!" Gosh, the hair in particular looks absolutely incredible!!! And the clothes look so real!! And the necklace!! And the eyes!!! And literally everything!!!!!!!

It took sooooooooo long, but I'm glad it was worth it in the end! I kind of lost motivation towards the end so I had to try and force myself to continue. xD Anyway, thank you again!!!!

Best phrase ever. Though I once called a vocab list a word pile? Does that even come close, though?

I really need to see this film, gosh. I'm not really going to say too much on this, because hopefully you've realised how much I love it while I was distracting critiquing you. Anyway, I'm glad I was actually helpful!

Yes. Yes you do. I'm going to force you to watch it when you come over, it shall be wanderful
Pfffffft, distracting??? I probably would have lost the motivation half way through or started rushing it at the end if it hadn't been for you, so thank you!

A compromise? Distractivating? xD
