Hold on Tight...

Postby Geode » Mon Jan 17, 2011 8:00 am

This poor little ladybug is blowing away...

My second oekaki, and I'm really looking for constructive crits and tips for this one. Advice especially needed for the ladybug's anatomy and the feathery ends. Mods can move this if they feel it isn't intermediate. Drawn with mouse, and with one reference. I tried to get it as close to the photo as possible, but didn't quite make it realistic enough. Any ideas?

Edit: Smudged and blurred the feathery ends a bit.
Edit: Added light streaks.

Most popular this week? Thanks so much you guys!

Thanks so much for all the kind comments, I can't believe this only took around 40 minutes!

Any crits or tips?

This is very good!! I can't really see much to criticize, except maybe make it a little like the sun is shining on it to give it a shine? That's the only thing, but this is great!! Good job! :D
I'm a christian and proud of it!!


My username used to be Bdavi. It's been awhile since I've posted any new art here, as I've been quite busy with my own little traditional art world, which I love deeply. But I'm sure I'll post on here again.
~Much Love~
