A sweet fairy…

here’s my attempt of todays subject:
felt not really comfortable with this one. Don’t know exactly why (45 Minutes)

Damn it, why is painting so difficult, I mean, we see the world, as it looks, every day for hours, since years, we know how it looks like, why we can’t just paint it then.

hehe, funny that you had your problems with that picture as well. I had a hard time.
But I like your scribble. I mean there are some problems like the left shoulder or the right arm. But in the end I like the way you made the pose more dynamic and in my eye more sexy.
Ha, ha fischkopf, very funny. Your picture is not that bad though. But it seems that you approached it a bit light hearted. Which is not bad in general. But I know that you can give more effort. If you are in the mood.
I think the buttom it not well defined…because there is not much information in the ref picture. But you could have used some linework for her skirt to cover that.
i don’t know if its just me, but some drawings seem like a big, vicious fight. in the end i feel frustrated and don’t realy learn anything…feels like a void in your mind, as if you had forgotten how to do something. call it a bad day.
Welcome aftasardem:
Well I would say that you allways learn something. But I know what you mean sometimes it just seems just not right for a really long time. But if you continue you will see that it will come toghter nicely. It’s just a question of patience sometimes.
wow vyse-soa: you put a lot of detail in that picture. Really nice. I think that it looks really good. Good texture, good colors, sharp and clean. Good work.
well after watching how some of u have really improved doing this exercies I fell it’s my time to try. the only problem for me is my dog ate my wacome tablet. (literally chewed through the cord.) so i’m back to using my mouse for a week or so. but here it is nothing to brag about but hopefull I will improve over the next few weeks.

Hi Wind and welcome,
Ha funny story to hear, first it sounded like the common school excuse. Theacher my dog ate my homework
. I couldn’t paint with the mouse this is for sure. So I’m currious if we will see a diffrence once your wacom is back. Thanks for stoping and paricipating.
Thx, TedNindo.
I had some problems with the colorchoice and the saturation, but I’m pretty happy with it too.
Man, but I really suck at drawing people…

Hello there, 
following this thread for about few days now and it looks like a lot of fun. I have also tried to do a speedpaint of the current image and here is the result. (20 min)
She has really long legs, I should open a much bigger canvas next time.
