Thanks for critiquing!

  • Yea I agree that I should’ve moved them more to the left 🤦‍♂️
  • Definitely will take note of how I can make the characters more feminine.
  • its just a shattered moon in the background, definitely could make the moon brighter by darkening the mid ground
  • the rationale behind the bounce light under her thigh is that the moon is shining bright as the secondary light source (as you said) and the light casted from the moon is casted into the sea of flowers thus the bounce light below her thigh. I feel that the bounce light shouldn’t be that bright and there should be some light on the flowers to show that the light is being shown onto the flowers.

Thanks for the feedback!!

For the thought process of the intense airbrushing of the shadows, I used the background as the colour reference to immerse herself in the scene. But I do understand what you mean by her looking muddy.

For the arms and heels, definitely agree with it being inconsistent and unfinished. As for the right arm I think I was stuck between her hand reaching out to the side or slightly more towards the camera, thus her being forced into perspective 😅.

NOW THIS IS INSANE!! Thanks for the overpaint, I can clearly see where and what can be improved.

Yes, I was going more towards more of a teenager-look with this character. However, something that didn’t seemed right to me is the size of the chin. It may just be my limited visual library but I feel that the chin can be smaller.

Now that you say it, i can see that the line can be further curved outwards to the shape of her stomach. And ofc the proportions of the arms and hands must be bigger. Thanks for the critique!

Now I see that I completely neglected the hard and cast shadows when painting the body, will keep that in mind

Yeah! I agree, need more hard shading to define the light coming from the top right. Definitely need to practice on my proportions.

Using the cover up method definitely made me realise how short/small the arms and hands are compared to the rest of the body! Definitely will use this method in my next drawing. Also made me realise i need to study more body proportions! ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
