Description If you want to make the days
in your life
really matter,
then you MUST
love something...



(The girl is some sort of thai celebrity...or maybe vietnamese!! I dunno! her name is Ai Kato...I think...ahhh I suck!! and...what the hell was I thinking when I decided to draw that background? It looks so simple...but it took forbloody ever! a million years longer than it took me to draw the girl...and I got lost a lot when I was drawing it...hence the mistakes...but I am sooo not gonna change it!! ...My hand hurts!

I think she's Vietnamese since she's wearing the Vietnamese traditional dress the Ao Dai.
Lovely work! The backgroud is odd though...where is she going in that costume?

i really like this, her eyes are fantastic... i like how you emphasized colour clarity and brightness in some places more then others, and that the white of her outfit doesnt overpower the picture.

great piece

… Wow.

ClichΓ©d response, but wow. For some reason, the way the walls have been rendered seem to pull me in, as though the camera is zooming in on the lady- who is absolutely stunning of course.

i like the image, and i think the background is nice as well. but, the thing i can't get past is how wrong the lighting on her is, compared to the background. maybe you intended that, but for me it's too hard to get past, and i think it hinders the image

The mistakes... well, what you call mistakes... I actually really like them. They make the walls look more realistic - it works better. I love the colours you used for the background because they really contrast with the girl, especially her eye makeup, while completely working. I like the bun in her hair, and I like the flowers, too. XxBillyxX
