I would say nice things about this, because there are a lot of nice things that you've done. However, when you only focus on other people's negative work (with the exception of the few people you think are too cool to critique), it makes it harder to do that. This picture could be a lot better if you made the transition from the waxy girl a little more consistant. I think you quit on it, which is easy to do. Good job on the nostril and the lips, but the bridge of the nose is weird and the eyes look like the skin is peeling off of it. Of course, it was supposed to be that way @_@! With more practice, maybe you yourself can be in that small group of people that you won't harass. There are degrees of crappiness and your standards are too high. And, there are degrees of tactfulness, and your standards are too low.

Okay....I just read all of that ^ and I am halfway confused because I think some comments have been deleted/removed. So KO I just want to tell you that I only visit 2draw to look at everyone's contributions and I comment on those that amaze me or those that I feel I can help out with my comment. I ignore and skip over all of the other mess/gossip/in the end just words that have nothing to do with art. This way I "protect" myself from becoming so upset about the latest topics taking place here. That enables me to continue visiting this site.

Now on to the more important thing, KO this is an amazing drawing! When I first saw it and that you drew it, I was soooo proud at how your skills have grown. Her nose, lips, chin, and cheeks are excellent! I like the extra bit of pink/purplish color you have added there. And the teeth add nice detail to her expression (which I also love). The outline of the eyes is not just right, and her eyebrows don’t quite fit the rest of the face. I also think that more emphasis would have been put on her expression and face if you made all of her hair black (or leave only a very few highlights) and remove the partial ear. Make the viewer wonder what is this girl looking at that is causing her to have this facial expression.

I am glad you incorporated your different style in the background. This will be one of those drawings that I think about and have to go back to look at it again. Thanks Knockoff :D

Welcome back, knockoff. I like the mix of styles.

^^; kinda yellowish

Now, you know Hakkai, this is NOT a poor attempt at realism...this is cool and great! Showcase.

very cool and great, nice actor nice draw, i think is better than realism, it has some better mood than reality :)

That is so beautiful! The colour usage is amazing! :D

Mmm... delicous landscape.

Thanks all.
I draw this using mouse, I lost my wacom pen..... so it's somewhat difficult for me.
I tried to think of China landscape when drawing this...

Thank you Xod :]

This would make a really good background or wallpaper. lol I'm imagining lyrics to a song written on the sky. Very earthly in colors. v.4 was pretty good though too.

The colors you used here are gorgeous. Very nice silhouette. :)

yea it woked good.. I got my Smithsonian mag ..and in the last few pages there's an ad for an anniversary ring..it looks just like this except they put your anniversary number in roman numerals in gold on the band part.. you are officially in the shiny club..(If Anna the Queen of shiny says so)

neato'

ooo very nice :)

Ian: I don’t see how your comment has helped any o__O


Rules for drawing in the intermediate level clearly state:

The main intermediate board intended for users who have mastered the basic skills of drawing and are somewhat familiar with the drawing applets.

Users should expect to spend at least half an hour on each entry on this board.

/end intermediate rules.

crowquill: I would suggest you spend more time on the detail in this piece. I watched the animation and it appears as if you are using a large brush. This is fine for blocking in color, however for more detail a smaller (much smaller) bush is needed. For example, you could add detail to the face (eye, ear & nose), add more purple mane hairs, add more orange detail (such as grass strokes). I would also smooth out the sky color so that starts out dark at the top and becomes lighter as you get to the center of the screen.

I like your choices of colors, they go very well together. Hope you don’t mind my suggestions…I just want to help : ]

mine too lol. very dirty and old but still good
like how simple the picture is it lets your mind wonder with what sould happen next
sorry if i looked to deep i took a 19 century art class and um ya......*wonders off*

haha thanks you guys. Maybe if I had more good ideas my pallet would be messier...hm there is a thought. Maybe if I just make it messy a thought will come to me :)

This truly rocks, really great drawing. I especially like the little shines on the globs of paint, it really makes them look wet. Nice job, keep on workin, you'll surprise yourself, I can tell. :D
