New Guy here..this is my piano girl

[WinterEC]

Hey Mike,

Nice image and composition. What tools did you use to produce this? It has a nice illustrator feel to it, but the line quality for some reason doesn't quite match up with that.

2 thoughts/suggestions:
1. If it's not done in illustrator (or some other vector app) you might want to try to produce the composition with that tool as it suits the format.

2. As for the composition, the only thing I might consider adding/changing would be adding in detail to the areas of the piano and bench where she is touching it. Not adding a ton of detail, but maybe some degree of detail that lessens as the piano gets farther from the girl.

Nice work.

Thanks for the input WinterEC, it was done entirly in photoshop. I seem to have an issue getting the lines smooth, they always seem to appear extremely rough. As far as the piano, I think you may have something there. I wanted the focus to be on the girl but I think you are right about adding some detail to the piano to even out the composition. Thanks for your suggestions, it is alway good to get another set of eyes to go over your work. I appreciate it :thumbsup:

my humble suggestions:

- the girls chest's so detailed (rich in shadows, colors, even textures) that i can't think about anything else rather than to see all of her with more details. :)

- also to work on the continuity of the outlines because they get lost in several parts :) . or to get rid of them all and instead use like a lower color of the ones she has on her shape (a lower color of her skin where the outer line of the skin goes, a lower color of her clothes where the outter line of her clothes go)

- and if you imagine there's a source of light reflecting on her chest, you'll see that some lights and shadows in some other places aren't as good as those there. :) which takes me again to the first suggestion: do you see how nice her breasts look in terms of shadows, lights comparing to her clothes and her face? (they're kind of plane instead) -get her all the same feeling her breast have and i think you would really really see she looks better :p -

- i would also put some shadows to the chair, floor and the piano that's having contact with her body. nothing fancy because u want to keep that simple. :)

-also probably changing the white color of the background would be nice because it competes with the fine lady and that white's covering a very big area. white doesn't mean a simple/cleaner look all the time. i hope it helps :P


i must say she's sexy, congrats :thumbsup: and all the figure's really awesome :D
