WIP Asian girl

[acidlullaby]

looking good so far, normally I'd paint the body BEFORE the clothes as it's easy to end up with mistakes in anatomy that's hard to notice if you do things the other way round, but it's your picture, what works works. keep us updated ^^

i actually forgot to say that i have already sketched out her body on a separate layer, but i just haven't shown it here.. :)

Well I think the nose can be a bit more refined (shape wise).
When it comes to beauty for asians... girls pale is perfered but tan looks nice too.

Here are a few links for other types of nose shapes for that angle.

The right eye looks higher than the left. Cool colors!

[Lambsquirter]

frostblade, thanks for the links, they will come in handy. My g/f is also asian, so that helps alot..hehe..i will keep defining the nose and face a bit more
kefka, do u mean her right eye or the viewer looking at the right eye?..hehe

I haven't done much drawing for a while, but i have done some more recently on the Asian girl and have done some more refining of the face and also the arms and dress (not shown in the pic below) :P

I have finally updated here after many months. I am still going with this digital illustration and its taking forever, but i am determined to finish it. I have done some of the background and i am in the process of drawing the dragon creature. Any comments are welcome

Any body with any crits or suggestions would be good :)

i think the eyebrows are to far from the eyes and her nose looks flat.as if she ran into a wall,face first.but i could be wrong maybe ts the angle of the head

[TwitchyHamster]

Asians tend to have a more "flat" profile so I don't see a problem there. I also do not see a problem with the eyebrows. The painting in its entirety does look a little flat though. ;) Nothing a little more work on shading and highlights wouldn't fix.

Also =) Nice job on avoiding painting hands lol. I often used to try and do that myself. Hands are very expressive tho. You should really try to incorporate them. No matter the difficulty.

Hope that helps.

There is no connection between the background, the dragon and the girl, in terms of light.

I would suggest a more defined lighting situation. Choose a place for a light source and let the characters and the environment be influenced by it. It will link all elements together and create a certain mood at the same time. Highlights (as TwitchyHamster mentioned) and shadows are the most important things missing here I think.

Have fun!
