I'll have to admit that it does look a bit unfinished because of the lower half of her body. As for the upper half (above her elbows), though, I can't really find anything negative to say. The pattern on her jacket looks natural (if I can say so) an so do the folds in her sleeves. Her face looks soft like porcelain, but still has some sort of a smoke color to it that testifies the journey she went through to go back home. As for her headscarf, I can't find anything to say that is simple looking, but nonetheless regal thanks to the light reflecting in it.

You might not have a high opinion about it, but as you said yourself: at least you're drawing again after this long block. You're on a good way, keep it up.

Yeah, I grabbed a brush and just smudged at the bottom for awhile just to cover up the remains of the sketch. I had bigger plans for this thing, but I just couldn't work on it anymore.

I think I connected with her when I painted in the earring. Which was the only blue thing in the piece. or..something. whatever.

Really, the purpose of this thing was for design and color placement only. D: I wanted an excuse to go into high-detail, but I failed at doing that. I guess I just needed to experiment with the colors together. I wish I could have worked the copper a little better, but silk is difficult to paint, and without proper reference, it's even harder. D:

But thanks. The fact that my two guys like it makes me feel a lot better about it. :3

Oui, c'est phoque.

You're getting incredibly better, Kate.

Loving the style.

Thanks! I'm never satisfied with anything, so I guess that's helping my growth. XD

I love her nose and lips~ x3
I think you did a wonder job on the entire thing but those two features stand out to me the most.

Don't click. D:

Her lips were actually very inspired by a girl I saw on BMEzine. She was showing off a few neck tattoos, some mild gauges, and a vertical labret. But her lips were just so incredible. Pretty much what you see on Roy is what I saw on the girl. XD Normally I don't refer that close, but AUGH. Lovely.

It's good to see you again! How were your ap art finals? I think I almost died! Are you still going to the ART institute for next year?

I love her! I'm stunned by her hands! I'm starting to dapple in textures as well. Can't wait to see more of your work once school ends!
