I was working with a small brush but then i added sharpening effect so that didnt help my brush strokes, Ill go over the drawing one more time to render it our again and see what happens. As for the lightning it's coming both from the mouth and the eyes, but i really like the light on top of the hands so I gotta figure out a light source for that. Thanks for the feedback !

ah ok I wasn't sure if it was also coming from the mouth as well. The lighting on the hands does look cool. Hopefully you can figure it out

I like how you improved and the one from the "Winx"is very nice I love the colours =]

Thank you!

Maybe just making the light coming from her eyes and mouth more intense and dramatic would help with making the light under her nose and on top of her hands have more sense. It's just a suggestion, but it may be worth a try

Ye I already did that , I forgot to post it, in general I'm not proud of this piece but hey any art is good practice

castonia 2018-10-08 12:04:56 UTC #108

Some quick stylized portrait too

cedricgo 2018-10-08 13:47:23 UTC #109

Yeah, I also get that sometimes. Maybe it's because it's something you don't usually do? But it's surprising how many times a piece that I was not feeling too good about ended up being well liked by other people. As for this piece, I'd say it's pretty cool. I think that the change works really well now.

And your last portrait came out really well. I really like that stylized look . She looks so mischievous!

Here is a quick piece I just finished, I want to focus on placing the basics and to draw more quick pieces without spending too much time to render. The 2nd one is a big piece I'm currently working on I think I'll draw all the WITCH characters so Hay Lin rn

I finally finished this piece, I need to start working with layers because Im constantly making it harder for myself when I have everything on one layer T-T

Woah, it came out so well! The colors are so nice and I love the flow of everything. Great job!

Haha, awesome stuff. I feel like I've seen your ar somewhere before. Do you have a twitch? Oh well, can't wait to see more 😁👨‍🎨👌

castonia 2018-10-17 07:59:30 UTC #114

Yes, I do stream on Twitch, so maybe.

This illustration of Hay-Lin is looking amazing! All these w.i.t.c.h paintings are making me nostalgic and wanting to draw my own versions

The only piece of advice I would give is that her arms seem too short for her body. It might just be the pose but perhaps try a version where her arms are longer and put the two next to each other and then compare them.

Thank you so much Sasha, I played around more and I fixed the hands + added the wings because I had forgotten I hope it looks better, because this piece was just too exhausting and I just wanna move on to the next one T-T

sasha-c 2018-10-17 12:17:15 UTC #117

It looks great! If the piece is starting to be taxing I think putting it down is a good idea the last thing you'll want is for it to become something you hate on principle because you stared at it too long >.> You should be very proud of it though

CanvasEngineer 2018-10-18 00:44:30 UTC #118

cedricgo 2018-10-23 23:21:48 UTC #122

So elegant and yet so deadly... great job Castonia! She looks really good

castonia 2018-10-24 11:14:15 UTC #123

I thought i deleted the prev version cuz I didn't like how black the skirt looked, and I spends some time fixing it.I have to pick my blacks better ToT
