I strongly agree with Marcello's suggestions. Also, if that is a mirror on the left wall, it would be reflecting something, and doesnt even contain reflections of the wall color opposite. If it were a window, it would partially continue the other window scene.

Other than that, this is wonderful composition and the subjects and colors are very well executed. It also has alot of feeling - You should consider illustrating children's books!

Looks really good, I like the way you did the hands.

marcello (Feb 29, 2004)

Well, I am assuming what you think is a window on the left with the clouds is probably a painting on the wall. Kind of disappointing that he did not fix the violin, but one can only do so much, I suppose.

The "window" on the left is actually a painting ^^.
And for the violin ... I think I'm not gonna touch this picture as I won't be able to draw a better violin ...
I should practice drawing musical instruments on paper instead ... For my next big picture :)

reminds me of the Venus painting by....uh, someone famous. Oh well, I'm not an art historian but consider it flattery to be compared to a master.

marcello (Jan 22, 2004)

It's alright, but I think the lighting on the face could use some work (like I mentioned on another piece). More contrast, "lighter lights, darker darks."
Also the face seems somewhat deformed to me, almost cat-like. Maybe the jaw/mouth comes out too far. If you wanted to fix it, you could try moving the neck and back of the jaw forward rather than the whole face back.

I like the flying hair, and her expression is so sad!

Falling

ToraNeko (Jan 21, 2004)

Here I'm falling once more
What perpose do I fall for?
Am I already lost?
Have I paied the cost?
I'll just close me eyes
But is death my true prize?
I want to keep going on
Live the life I've come upon
And so I shall, and so I will
With this power my heart does fill
I fall to unknowing lands
But at least I know my plans

Actually, not quite. Once she gets fast enough for air drag to push it up, it'd push it quite close to the body, at least at the very top of her head. But it's kinda fluffy :)

ToraNeko (Jan 22, 2004)

I kinda wanted this floating falling effect >.< Oh well, I try. The line art came out really scetchy, but it was kind of full with the Background

fleeting_memory (Jan 22, 2004)

well it just looks like she just starting to fall-and that what the poem suggests too...awsome idea and great draw.

Soshell (Jan 22, 2004)

this kinda scared me i didnt expect to see someone upside down! its a cool idea though :)

windowseat light

dixielandcutie (Jan 22, 2004)

okay, here's some inanimate objects, as directed...tried to do the shading...hmmm....may need more work. also, diregard the very funky perspective. i tried to fiddle with that too, but the window and dresser are one way while the wall and the floor another...eh, i guess ill work on perspective after i get a better grip on shading. hehe. OOOk.

another good way to learn is to look at other peoples drawings. dont copy them..but take notes i guess. and as far as inanimate objects..you need to start smaller. try like..just books, or something in your room..just one or two things..with a surface..a light source(dont DRAW the light source, just note where its coming from)..skip the wall the floor the dresser the window..all that and concentrate on the object. hope that helps.

dixielandcutie (Jan 22, 2004)

right...*thinking baby steps*...yeah, ive been all over the other boards...wow. some really amazing stuff. thanks so much for the tips. will do. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jan 22, 2004)

Dixie, this is so much improvement from the first one already! Icats is right, and as i suggested also - books, fruit, simple objects and concentrate on the object. (She's right about the light source - u dont have to depict that in the picture for this to work) You do need to study the things under a good source of light coming from a definite direction. You can apply this lesson to objects everywhere you go, during a the course of a normal day. Study objects, note the different colors (there are dozens of different colors and values of colors in something that on first glance may appear to be gray, such as a street, or the sky, for example) and make a mental note of how the light plays on things, casting shadows and creating highlights. (I guess go to your msg. board and I'll put some stuff on perspective.. this is getting too long! :)

marcello (Jan 22, 2004)

um, here's a tip. It's a lot easier to read long text like that if you put some line breaks in. If you click the little +/- buttons on the bottom right of the comment box, you can actually expand it to see more of your typing. It helps a lot. :-)
