oh yeahhh, looks great and all of the above.

Really nice :)

this is wonderful! I just love the purple skin and all the vibrant colors in this piece :)

love the painted 'splotchiness' that makes it look great!

beautiful...a simple but very artistic drawing. i like it

ohh, very lovely work, jpjp

subject makes this look like an aged, classical painting!

This painting is of a woman in a mosaic revealed on Israel. The women in the mosaic looks down, and parts of her were destroyed during the years. I tried to paint her the way she must have looked like.

Yes this is absolutely beautifully done! The monochromatic color really gives it that classic painting look! Very nice!!!!!!!

ahh, very interesting. thanks for letting me know that, shults..you succeeded with your goal. :)

I'm pretty sure that the rules are broken on purpose for attention...

Drawings like this are an insult to the pretty drawings that do belong on advanced, but are at risk from not being seen.

sorry!!!is not advanced but Idon understand english!!!I'm so sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

Maybe you could make the background real "misty" looking.....like the girl is walking thru "fog", or something like that. It would give the "pic" a mysterious look. I really love that bridge though. I think if you darken the sky a little bit, and add some misty looking "fog".....the glow from the moon would show up better.....and it would really "set" this pic off.

I think a darker color scheme would suit it well, and maybe use more washed out colors for the girl to give her a ghostly feel (transparency would help achieve this effect, too.) The coloring is also out of the lines in a few places, and the shading could stand a bit of a clean up.

But don't be discouraged! This is a great effort, and I'd love to see how it could be improved on :)

I do love the bridge and riverbank. Also the stuffed bear is sweet. I do think however her left, our right cheek is a tad lopsided. And everything but the bottom of the bridge and a little white spot in the river is neatly colored within the lines.
Other than that good effort.

Excellent finish, those painterly strokes are well placed.

Such a pretty drawing!

I agree.....very pretty.....:)

Yes, it's coming from a photo, I wrote it somewhere in previous messages.
Human brain can't elaborate all minimal light/ghadows variation of the reality, we can't always recognize where we should use white in shadow or grey in light. Human brain it's able to understand what is Blue (just for example), also if red enlighted, but if this light it's strong, you can simulate it in a draw, if it's light, mixed ti shadow variations and other ambient color minilam reflections, you can't!
In a Photo there is not he same color in two different zones, also if there is the same material/object/paint and light!
To do that work, we need a reference pic. At least up to today I can't really think some one do it without a Photo reference.
And again, thenks to all!

@ philominalove I can't believe! a scammer also in this site! -.-" please go to do that otherwhere.

still a beauty

I've looked at this so often, I thought I already commented, too! Awesome work, bette. Really good. :)

wow, bette! lovely!

brilliant

Well done , I have a pair of sandals that look like those, the green is just a bit darker :)

Oh man, I've missed your art, Ricci! This is beautifully drawn, of course. I love the carefree, sweet mood of this. :)

This is so lovely! I really adore the sun shining through the dress and the dangling shoes. This picture has a lot of life to it.

Looks like a young girl waiting for pop tarts to come out of a toaster. What do ya think?

"What do you mean, you people?" Lol movie quote. Uh, yeah. As far as I can tell, the deep meaning behind this picture is that someone decided to shit on the advanced board for a test they could have done on beginners.

*sigh*...
