The 2nd one is for the last draw this in your style , the oc belongs to RyuutsuArt on IG

It looks really messy, idk how ppl can render out everything so well so u dont see every little imperfection T-T

Currently working on this on my streams, I love Cornelia <3
Childhood cartoons lol
Any feedback so far ? I really want to push this piece and I'm excited about finishing it, I think it's gonna be one of those pieces where you kinda lvl up ?

So far so good. At first glance I don't notice anything huge. The first thing I looked at was the face(not sure if that's your intended focal point) and the flow of the hair is really cool.

Whats your Stream? I wanna check it out. I really should stream myself again.

cedricgo 2018-08-16 23:27:32 UTC #86

Yep, looking nice so far. Just like malcom, I really like the flow of the hair.

I just scrolled through most of your blog and I'm so impressed with how you have improved through all the posts also how your style has developed and become more defined and your own! Super keen to see more. I also absolutely love your Cornelia drawing, W.I.T.C.H is still my favourite childhood cartoon and I'm probably going to binge watch both seasons again at some point

Thank you so much ! I get really happy when people notice the improvement !

I commission i just finished

Done on my Ipad quick sketch, I'll probably work on it some more on my pc when I have the time

Beautiful work once again. One thing I really like is the way your character's faces have such a nice balance of cuteness and elegance. It's a mix that create very appealing faces.

Aww thank you !!

Im currently working on this for a bday gift but Im afraid it looks crooked , for some reason the site darkens the image A LOT i dont why , i uploaded it a few times. Weird

malcom 2018-09-20 19:26:51 UTC #95

Even though it gets darken(not sure why) It looks really cool so far.
Things that stand out are the armor color and the skin color. Maybe because the image got darken but the values seem really close at the moment. The contrast with the hair and the face can be worked on as well. Right now the hair feels the like its the most eye catching. Making the face brighter and defining it more can bring the main focal point back to her face. Adding a glow to the eyes can help as well to contrast with the dark purple skin.
Hope this helps.

cedricgo 2018-09-20 23:38:33 UTC #96

It's looking pretty nice so far! I actualy don't think it looks partcularly crooked, but there is a couple of thing that may make you feel like that.

As you can see from this, the breastplate on the right is a bit higher than the left one. Also the triangular shapes of her collar and between her breastplates aren't quite align with the middle of her face. But beyond that, I think the rest is alright.

castonia 2018-09-21 07:18:22 UTC #97

Damn, guys thank you ! I love it when I get some good feedback ToT @malcom @cedricgo

castonia 2018-10-01 15:56:00 UTC #98

I forgot to post the finished version of Cornelia here it is ^o^

cedricgo 2018-10-01 23:50:42 UTC #99

She looks lovely! I really love the color palette and the gestural flow of the hair.

Great job!

castonia 2018-10-03 20:56:52 UTC #100

Something different, something halloween-ish I guess, I don't normally draw stuff like that so I don't even know how to approach it , how to make it a high quality illustration or w/e . Any feedback is really appreciated.
Ps. I really hate how you can see the brush strokes of the image here T-T it looks so messy

malcom 2018-10-03 22:05:52 UTC #101

i recommend painting with a bit of a bigger brush first and slowly making is smaller when adding details so you don't have as many brush strokes..
One thing that stands out tot me is the lighting on the nose. The light blue appears to be on the under side of the nose like there is light coming from underneath but other areas, the light is coming from the top and from the eyes. Fixing that would help the piece.
