Description

Aside from working on my planet series I started working on this piece about a month ago and worked on it on and off during two weeks. I really pushed myself with this one and took my time. I sometimes tend to rush a painting in the final stages. For a long time I had had a lot of trouble with blending smoothly and painting skin. After a lot of experimentation I think that I have finally achieved a result for the skin that I'm happy with.

I created this work using Painter and Photoshop. Since I'm pretty bad at painting hands and flowers out of my head I had to look at some refferences. I used my own hand as a refference for this work.

Love the big eyes. The jewelry is pretty as well. Whites seem a bit bright on the clothes.

Beautiful eyes. I think there may be too much black in the colors which takes away a bit from the brightness. She has nice full features.

Lovely eyes and mouth. Agree with Gianna about the shadows, try not to burn the colors, but replace them with other, cooler tones in the shaded areas, it'll do wonders

Where did that lovely little ladybeetle come from? It's almost like watching illusion.

Thank you so much everyone for your comments and helpful critiques. I do agree that I used a bit too much black. in the shadows. The lady bug was a fun little touch that I wanted to ad to the image. There were times when I would walk through a grassy field or garden and have one of these little guys land on me and thats what inspired me to add the lady bug. I have my own story in mind for this image but I want the viewer to interpret there own story.

great detailing. what patience. lovely smooth, romantic feel to this. the jewelry, hair, and eyes are my favorite. the background is also unique and very beautiful. the only thing that sticks out is the thumb, it needs a little more structuring. but it pales in comparison to the rest! nice work.

I can definitely see an improvement in your technique with this piece, and I really like how you handled the face; very expressive. I do have a critique though; You need to find a more well balanced mid-tone. Your shadows are too dark, and your highlights too light, which gives the image a very unnatural look. I will say you definitely improved in that aspect compared to your previous pieces, but I'd like to see you push this even further.

Keep it up!

Thank you so much thruMyEyez, cgaddict and Ayla for your compliments and helpful critiques.

I do tend to add too much white in my highlights and too much black in my shadows. I am going to try and use less black and white in future works.
