Original is 5349 x 7118 @ 600 Dpi. See? I can do Digital when I want to *rasberries* Spent about 10 hours on this just coloring alone. X_X I haven't digitally colored since OCTOBER 2008 so be nice on me. Close Ups Chianti © =onnaevilsmith Pic © :devonnaevilsmith 2009 Comments
I think it looks great considering how long it's been. By the way, the outfit design looks awesome.
-- Join the =Cuddling-Club today and you'll be showered with cuddles Have to agree with andrea-koupal. The shading needs to be pushed and a light source needs to be firmly established. We already know you can do that with your marker-colored pictures. No doubt that you can do the same here.
May I recommend my friend, :3 Hope that helps! -- Want a Challenge? Feng Shui: An Avatar the Last Airbender RPG |

I've got to say, really wonderful work with the background, it's really nicely detailed without it being too cluttered. There's only one thing that bothers me in there: the white (or almost white) you used for the water. Supposing the environment she's in is very dark, I find that white a bit weird, out of place?
When it comes to Chianti herself, I love the pose you used, and I love her leaf skirt, it's great : D
What I wanted to comment on however, more than anything, is on the coloring style. It seems to me like you either used an airbrush or a very soft brush. I think that using a less soft brush would help you make the shading sharper, less vague.
You define shapes perfectly when you use traditional, so I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be a problem for you to do it in digital too.
I'm not too sure whether I'm making much sense, because I know what I mean but I can't explain it well D: Basically, what I'm trying to say is that very soft brushes are difficult to control when you want to define muscles, for example.
You can fix the problem easily next time, by either using that same soft brush for the shadow on a new layer BUT erasing some parts to make the shadows sharp and giving it some structure, or using a different, harder brush.
Overall I think you did a fantastic work and I hope to see more digital from you <3
