i think it's lovely :3 nicely drawn, good use of colours, great proportions, great shading, specially on her dress to give it texture and weight <3

really well done : >

Thanks ^^;

This is great. I love how you've rendered the hair. But I definitely see a lack of depth here, maybe if you had more contrasting shadows with the background on the subjects, they'd look less flat. Right now, it looks as if the elf girl's head is on backwards. But overall a very beautiful painting c:

Yeah, I know it looks like the girl's head is wrong - that's the main thing I hate about this. I also hate the background haha - it's too flat, the clouds look NOTHING like clouds, and things like that. I aimed for the whole thing to be very pale, pastel colors, but it didn't work out.

Thanks muchly though, especially for the coonstructive critique.

I know that what really helps me when I have these sort of problems is looking at the image in grayscale. Then I can see what needs to be lightened/darkened and that can help with the depth immensely. good luck~

Hmm I've never tried that - thanks!

I wish I spent more time on it tbh because I like how the dragon's face came out :V ... I just wanted to finish it quickly for school xD ... My sketches are always so rough that when I do the line, it never looks right. And often I CBA to fix it so I carry on. It's something I REALLY need to stop doing >.<

Share skills :c kthxbai. I think it looks fine!

Awh thanks >.<

This is a really lovely picture, im especially drawn towards the dragons eye, and the space between the girl and the dragon. Thats a really challenging composition you created, but you acheived the mood very well, almost reminds me of a watercolour piece.

Have you ever tried working over a digital piece with a different medium? Its a really interesting method to experiment with all sorts of elements, like light and colour. Despite that, it doesnt change my opinion on this great piece :3

Awh thanks Hocus, I appreciate it. And I do like the dragons eye, I'll admit :B

No, I haven't tried that, actually - I need to for this project though. I've already begun drawing things to scan, then color, print and work into again :B
