No problem, you do great work. Sometimes it takes another someone to spot things when you have been staring at the same image for hours. Happens to me all the time, I walk away for 15 mins and when I come back I can usually spot my errors. Its just a simple trick I use, otherwise I rage quit. Keep them coming, beautiful use of colour too. Im still trying to set up my blog but im such a techno-tard I had to get help from the cubebrush team, im hopeless, but I can draw ok.
maybe a small shadow under the feet just to ground the character? Burlesque, wasnt that from the 20's? Black hair and red dress looks more like what you are trying to capture to me but then again I was born in the 70's so what do I know? I like the polished look of the red dress and that rough un polished look of the hand fans, works for me, great anatomy too, youve managed to capture that stylized effect of the burlesque posters from way back when. Very cool
You are improving so much with each new piece, it's really inspirational to see!! My only suggestion is I feel like alot of your poses are kind of.. staring forward with legs forward, basically floating or standing. You should try for more dynamic pieces! Maybe have one of her legs going back and one folded and going forward with the shield up? I am not sure how much you can change the current sketch right now.
Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback! Now that you mentioned this I do see the same pose in all of my drawings. :c The previous drawing I posted I wasn't happy with to I scraped it and started a new one which I also don't like , so I started a new one , Idk where I'm going it with it, maybe Sailor Moon, maybe something else but guess what ..same pose fml ... buuut I do quite like how it's turning out so I'm gonna keep it this time, but I'll try to be more diverse in the future!
I have NO idea if you are looking for critiques or suggestions, so I don't want to over-step my bounds. But I wanted to see if I could "push" the pose? I don't know what you could do right now, since your sketch is pretty refined (( and gorgeous)) the only critique I have for the pose-as-is is i feel like the arms are kinda short? But it could just be the perspective needing more values around the elbow. You are a really amazing artist so I wanted to see if I could help at with your improvent.
* totally just used your sketch as a base by the way, you have pretty good anatomy!Goddammit yours looks so cool, fml , I'll probably take a note for the wings and the arms,because (honestly i'm too lazy to change up the whole drawing ) For the arms I did try to foreshorten them but I do see now that they just look ..short now. Man I want your critiques all the time, please !!! Thank you soo much ^w^
