This is for a hand out for a survey my professor and I are conducting. I will be passing this out at an anime convention. It isn't my best work, but it was a quick doodle and it serves its purpose! I was so mad when I realized I didn't have photoshop on this computer... -_-;

So, everyone seems to be doing a little copying from favored painters & illustrators so I thought I would throw in my 2 cent.

This is from Kay Nielsen. I really love all of his work. Especially for the East of the Sun and West of the Moon book. :)

Not done yet, and the lady needs some reworking of the torso and head, but better then nothing!

I bought all the illustrations from that book in card form about...erm...30 years ago. Still have them. Still love them. This is very, very pretty and has captured the feeling of his work.

I am glad you like it. They republished the east of the sun and west of the moon about two(?) years ago in a really nice hardcover edition. :) I was so glad when i saw because while I had a book of his illustrations I really wanted to be able to read the stories that went along with all of his illustrations.

Very attractive style, those soothing colors are great.

It would be a great contest, draw from your favorite artist. In his or her style.

when i compare your piece with the original, the first thing that pops to my eyes is that the original looks like it was made with watercolors, while yours looks too smooth, there's hardly any texture.. i liked the texture you had going in the fifth version.
if you wanted to have texture like in the original painting, an easy (and quick!) way to do it, would be with a scatter brush (choose a high scatter count and you can maybe crank up the spacing too) on a separate layer. that way you can easily erase the eventual wayward dots from unwanted areas, and you can also play around with the blend mode and opacity (make it subtle)

..hmm, another thing that i noticed was that the original was much more sharper (darker and thinner lines).. i suck at line art so i'll not gonna try to give you any advice on that. You would only get worse if i tried to teach you line art :P
