She has a very sweet face. Very detailed, but her dress shouldn't be so bold looking on her skin. You have 2 different textures put on to one painting.

It looks nice overall, but seems to have the bubbly look on the face.Maybe you could tone it down more...?I like how you aren't afraid to mix unusual colors into the drawing.

I love this draw!
loved the skin on the chest.
loved the hair blowing in wind, the eyes and lips.

nice bg and shading. there's something that's making me think that her heads to small, but i can't really tell.

Gigandas (Feb 17, 2004)

She could just have a lot of hair like some girls at school I've seen.Btw, nice job with this^^.

i dont think they are silly at all. seems like perfect constructive critism to me. there space to post comments for a reason..not just to say "wow" and "awesome" right?

Gigandas (Feb 16, 2004)

Uh, pix, nobody is supposed to draw like anybody.Notice that it's called "art"?Do you know what art means exactly^^;;?It means everyone has their own style.I'm giving advice, that's all.I'm on the artist's side whenever I give critiques.Always.Advice is different from grabbing someone's hand and being like "THIS IS HOW YOU DRAW" and draw the picture for them^^;.Besides, it is up to the artist whether to take the advice.I just want to see everyone's full potential, don't you?

Noremac (Feb 24, 2004)

well.... i have blue eyes :P

Actually the song "Behind blue eyes" is by The Who. So bow to them. Limp just does an annoying cover of it.

First of all, glad you got your pic back.And second, it's definitely another great piece completed by you^^.Somehow, your drawing remind me of the oil painter Thomas Kinkade....

DinoFlorist (Feb 16, 2004)

This is a good picture! '____' I would hang this on my wall, and not much goes on my wall unless I draw it myself. I really like the glow of the house reflected on the snow, as well as the whole purple tone.

very pretty dba :) nice work

well that was fun. i just realized i have no good ideas for a background.

davincipoppalag (Feb 22, 2004)

Well I like what you put there.. it gives it a sort of samoan feel... the BG looks like the kind of patterns they have in the south Pacific islands on tapa cloth etc.. I think it worked nicely

foxman8245 (Feb 28, 2004)

hey.. like the bg here!!!

fleeting_memory (Mar 2, 2004)

Very realistic but somehow kinda freaky-cause its like a wild boar and its on my screen *runs AHHHHHHHHHHH!*

Gigandas (Feb 16, 2004)

lol, I have that a LOT.In fact, almost all my pictures are like that^^;.That's also why I'm so slow at drawing because I gotta go back and correct it><.No problem about the comments though.I really like to see people improve and I'm just trying to help you^^.Btw, I really like all your drawings.Keep it up XD.

davincipoppalag (Feb 17, 2004)

Boy have I got alot to learn.. I looked at this and said .Wow..then I read the critique and I had to say Wow to that too..I got alot out of what Gigandas said...you really have to look at your own stuff very carefully as if you are completely detached from it ..my work here sucks so far..but I am still gettting alot out of seeing the great pics that many here do, and the other insights I get from the critiques.. i LOVE this site!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 19, 2004)

EYE just like it. That's all I've got to say. :)

fleeting_memory (Mar 2, 2004)

she looks like she's about to go on stage cause she looks worried and she has on heavy makeup-interesting-looks like it was done with pastels

Yes, I know, original, aren't I? Oh yes, yes I am...

What the... Grphsdhtop... *note to self, never ever submit unfinished work.*
Yes, I'm stupid.
PS: Refferance piccy http://www.laurelindorenan.com/Gimli%20Moria.jpg

No, it's not really finished, but I've taken too much space as it is, and I am very grateful for what I was given. I know I didn't get any papers or junk on the floor, I'm sorry.

Maybe when I get better I'll do a larger version of this on the Intermediate board.

Taori's right, love the texture with the bricks and things.I really like the light shining in there, but looking at your reference, I think the center of the beam could use some white white(as in R:255,G:255, and B:255).But good job overall^^.

Harmanye (Feb 16, 2004)

White, yes of course *bangs head on desk*, I should have done that when I made the light in the first edit. Thank you oO;.

Gigandas (Feb 16, 2004)

Sorry I mentioned this late, but I thought it was better than never mentioning it^^;;;...

davincipoppalag (Feb 17, 2004)

I like the lighting alot.. and the overall feel..

The Opening of the Cylinder on Horsell Common

Darksun (Jun 6, 2002)

I found myself alone, and saw the people on the other side of the pit running off, Stent among them. I looked again at the cylinder, and ungovernable terror gripped me. I stood petrified and staring.

You should try going for a couple hours, then you'll REALLY know what hurting because of drawing is like^^;-Trust me, I've done it on paper before.Anyways, onto the picture...I have to say you are improving a lot^^.I don't know whether you were holding back or not, but this is one of your better ones I have to say.Great job.I wouldn't have the patience to draw more than one character per drawing so that makes it even better><...

davincipoppalag (Feb 15, 2004)

very nice.. these have great expressions..and the one on the right seems to be actually looking back at you!
