Sitting in the forest

Postby LunaSoul » Thu Feb 02, 2012 6:42 am

...I honestly don't know what to say besides that I am unbelievably happy with the way it turned out, especially the background. I actually spent a couple hours on it :D
I recently got pressure sensitivity and this started out as just a sketch and experiment, then ended up as a full on drawing :3 THis is probably my first drawing not abusing my blur and smudge to get shading/lighting smooth because of the pressure thingy. The only time I used blur was the s/l on the pond and person just to make is semi-smoother looking, otherwise, everything was just strokes with the pressure sensitivity ^_^

Comments/positive crits *coughandlikescough* are majorly appreciated! ^_^ ~<3

Art © me

Background was inspired from this
Person's dress and hair where inspired from this and this

Also.... take a couple hours off, I kept getting distracted with roleplays lol otherwise, it's pretty close to how much I spent on it :)

What would you do to survive? If killing was the only option to live in the world falling apart, filled with infected. To get food, weapons, gear, anything and everything, your hands would be left unclean. What would you do?

Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time, oh, oh, oh
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind

I just wanna know you better know you better know you better now
I just wanna know you know you know you

'Cause all I know is we said "Hello"
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

All I know is we said "Hello"
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain and everything has changed
All I know is the new found grace
All my days I know your face
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Very well done, LunaSoul! You did a great job on this whole oekaki! =D
The character is wonderfully drawn, but I particularly like how you didn't just skip over the background as many good artists tend to do. It looks wonderful. :)
The only suggestion I might make is to add a little tree-reflection in the pond to make it more... shiny. I like shiny things. :P
You could duplicate one of the tree-trunks, flip it upside-down, and then lay it at a low opacity over the pond. A little bit of brushing over with the soft eraser is a nice way to touch the reflection up a bit. ;]

The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
