A simple picture of a geisha.
The white makeup of the geisha covers their face and it goes down and around their neck. The kimono is set loosly around the collar to show a bit of fleshy skin. This is done to make a mand being entertained think about what lies under the white makeup and under the kimono. ^_^
I love geisha and most everything about them. x] <3 Tell me what you think.

It's such an interesting culture. This is pretty good, but I would have liked it better if it were a bit sharper..The shapes and shading are nice, though.

well I likee the blurriness and thick lines. the kimono or whatever could use more creases or something though >.>

It is a little blurry, but the colors and composition are very nice.

I own a couple of kimonos; I find Japanese culture fascinating. I really like this picture, as is said concerning the composition and all. I don't really mind the lack of detail, it reflects the simplicity of ink paintings. I think, though, that it would be really effective if you maybe sharpened the lines defining the change between her back and the kimono, to really draw the eyes in.

Thank you everyone so much for the comments <3 I'm glad you noticed the kimono, I hated it as well but I left it as it was, I didn't want to make it look overdone but it could use a bit more work. And lycenee, thanks for your comment I'll think about that next time. ^^ <3
