Miss Roxy I am shocked! No, really I love it. You are so talented. So beautiful. I particularly like the comic influence with the darker outlines and thatchy strokes to create value. It captures detail and at the same time is not about them. I like the composition and the use of negative space. You Rock!
Oh wow! Thank you so very much! I'm always nervous about my composition,I know I tend to be very static,so I have to work hard within my limitations.I'm so happy that you felt it worked. I'm strangely becoming more comfortable with pencils instead of pens, it was the opposite when I worked a lot.Now, I'm trying to get my proportions right again, sheesh!(man, I bitch a lot, don't I?)
You have created several interesting triangles in the composition which cut up the space and create good flow. It is beautiful. You should stick with pencil if it draws you. I am more or a pastel/acryllic gal, myself.
see, these things are a mystery to me! I wrestled with different media forever and discovered that I. Just. Have .No .Talent.when it comes to paint. But! I fudge it pretty good with Dr. Martin' Dyes( the school girl's chum) and tech pens, so it's a glorified coloring book thing, but I've gotten some good effects.Put a brush in my hand, and I just freak--and color on the whole is scary territory too! I was pretty much the butt of jokes in my painting classes.(but, quietly, and behind my back.lol!)
I was tortured with pencils and graphite sticks and charcol and conte and ink and every goddamn colorless medium under the sun for years in art school because Cruella thought I would go crazy with color and loose my dicipline (what precious little I had) and so I didn't get to paint until the end and now it is all I want to do.
OOOOOOh, pretty pretty! And who says you do badly with color?? *checks background* Looks good to ME! :) Seriously, this is nice, and that little bit of face showing is gooood... *le sigh* I envy you your talent. I used to draw, but just don't anymore.
