this is also nice. the flowy-ness of things as well as the transition between figure and background are appealing to me.
i'd have picked a more blue-ish and desaturated tone of green- with small saturation areas near the body- but this honestly works well too.

Much appreciated :) Yeah, I could definitely see how blue-er greens might better suit the composition, especially with the red on the right. Balancing saturation and desaturation is also something I need more practice with. Thanks for the feedback :)

my advice regarding balancing saturation with desaturation is to always, always start desaturated, then work your way up to saturation with a discerning mindset.
i believe that colors & saturation need to be earned, in order to represent them as organically as possible.
if you believe it would be helpful for you, i could do a quick edit of this work for the purposes of feedback, to exemplify this mindset- if it resonates with you and your artistic desires.

Hi, thank you SOOO much for your critique and offer to do an image paint-over from while back, and sorry for the really late response. I would still be completely stoked to see one, and it definitely would help a lot (but I know it's been a long time since your comment without a response from me; I went inactive for a while, and this is out of the blue, so you don't have to worry about it). Just wanted to drop a comment and say that I really appreciate your feedback and offer to do that. :)

heya; don't worry bout the reply distance.) hope to see more art when it exists!)
i'll see about playing around like i had initially offered.
where could i reach you to send the paintover?
notes feel about as archaic as messenger pigeon.))

Awesome, I appreciate it! Thanks for understanding :) I'll send a note with my e-mail address!

woah, this is surly interesting

i like how it flows

Thank you! :)
