Hiro-chan, you are so not a Trekkie.

She looks Vulcan.
senshi (Sep 20, 2006)
whatsa Trekkie?
fleeting_memory (Sep 21, 2006)
Trekkie: Star trek fan. Vulcan: Star trek race with pointed ears that suppress all their emotions. I still think she looks more like an elf.
marieel1953 (Sep 21, 2006)
Well she started out to be an elf, but when I finished she looked more like a Vulcan who had been in a windstorm.

She looked like she was crying when I finished.

I had one of those growing up (but I can't remember if it was Anne or Andy) And I still have a childrens book from the 80's. Thanks for the memories Kute. :)
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Sep 13, 2006)
Raggedy Ann! :) I loved the book, and my Raggedy Ann doll was one of my favorites, although I put her through way more hell than Marcella did in the stories...my Alaskan Simoan dog Snow White ripped my Raggedy Ann's head off in the end. I think we should start calling Marcello "Marcella"... it's much closer to home. :D

I'm glad you did this picture, it brought back lots of funny memories, and you did such a cute job in depicting them.

Thanks everyone for the great comments on these, I guess they are just "Old Favorites" of a lot of people. Actually I do paint a lot of childrens characters for pay but on canvas I do much better than on the net. I am really not half as good as I would like to be. I have painted so many Winnie the Pooh pictures I have grown not to like "The Pooh" much. LOL My favorite childrens characters to paint is Disney, Mickey and Minnie. I just love them and could never paint them enough.

It looks good! The background is good too, because her eyes are blue.
Shigatsu_Sensei (Sep 5, 2006)
Wow....This is too good for begginer! Great job!
marieel1953 (Sep 5, 2006)
Thanks to both of you for the big boost to my morale. I was almost ready to give up.

Yay! you finished now I can comment...I love how you lightened up her hair and clothes it really makes her blue eyes pop out. She is beautiful
Sweetcell (Sep 6, 2006)
This is nicely done. Profiles can be hard but you did hers well. It's silly but I'm loving how you made the cloth near the armpit look likes it's not simply resting there but there's a space between the cloth and the skin. Very subtle and well done that.
KuteDymples (Sep 7, 2006)
Sweetcell, I had changed that spot, originally it looked terrible and it bothered me. I was happy with it too. :-) I have an easier time with profiles than the full face for some reason, I am trying one right now of Angelina and I can't get her face right to save my life. But I am not giving up, hopefully you will see that here soon as well. and Wittle Fawah, her hair was very hard, actually I believe I lightened it too much, but by the time I was done with it, I was afraid to change it anymore. Thank you both for your nice comments.

This is nice. I have just one quick criticism - The hair I think, would look better if you made a base of solid colour with a wider brush and then added highlights with a narrow one, rather than making the whole head of hair with a narrow brush. But overall, I like it. Lovely, for a first attempt.
MistressSoba (Aug 22, 2006)
n.n You should try the blurring tool on the hair, it works wonders. Mmm...maybe because of the hair, but the neck does appear a bit wide. [._. But who am I to talk? xD The necks I make are too narrow] :3 Also, maybe try blurring the little pink you put on the face. n.n I hope things turn out well! <3
marieel1953 (Aug 22, 2006)
Thanks for all the nice comments. I am experimenting with making the hair better and softer.
