I dont ever draw people but i want to start so tell me what i need to do differently, what i did right, and what needs to be done to the pic. Replies are much appreciated.

Heres the same pic with a little rendering. Darkened the eyelashes, shaded more around the eyes, sort of changed the hair on her right side, made the wings transparent, and moved the wing ummmmmm shaft i guess it would be. Let me know how it looks.

Very nice picture! It looks very soft, what fits to the scene. Crits: The nose is too big and rough. It doesn't fit to the rest of the face. The wings seem more like butterfly-wings than fairy-wings because of the dark spots on it. But anyway I like the pic!

Unfortunately i dont have a tablet so rendering takes a little time and makes a nice smudgy mess. I ran out of room on my sketchpad for the wings i wanted to do so i made do with those 1s. But whos to say fairys dont have wings like that? Has anybody ever seen 1? No, the time you were smoking the good sh*t doesnt count. Thanks for your reply and crit.

The pic has an overall nice studied look. Two things need adjustments IMHO. A bit thicker eyelashes, and shadows under the eyebrows, as right now the eyes look a bit pieces of paper pasted unto the face.
Just my two cents..

Lookin' good Just. One thing I see that bugs me is that the hair near the stomache and chest seems kind of rigid. It should probably have a more flowing look to it. Also, you might want to take another look at the chin. Perhaps put a little more definition into it.

Feh... Working like a madman as usual. Probably have done around 120 hours at work this week.

Artwise, I've been doing some studies of Hogarth in my downtime.

120? What are you a sleep deprevation test subject?

And to think thats what i want to do. What is it you do?

Snyper · Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2001 5:06 am

This is probably not an appropriate place to talk about such things. My profile has some stuff in it if you want to check it out. Anyways man, keep up the good work on your drawing.

nice drawing

but personally i think the wings take too much of the attention.. and the look kinda like cardboard wings (no offence).. i'd make them somewhat transparent looking.. like where the top wings overlap the bottom ones..

just my thoughts

Looks nice, but her face looks too rounded. And yeah what Snyper said about the hair.

Justa Fledgling · member Member # Joined: 23 Oct 2001 Posts: 99 Location: CA

I agree with the hair and ill need to fix that. The wings are a little ummmmm lame looking so i need to fix that too. Thanks guys

Good? Bad? Better? Worse? Can i get a little input here?

KrayZ · member Member # Joined: 09 Feb 2001 Posts: 91 Location: UK

right.. the wings looks better at that point where they meet.. but they still look like cardboard.. methinks it's 'cause u have a white BG but the wings are shaded which is making them look solid.. i'd erase the inside of the wings then start again.. but only subtly putting the marks there for the circle designs (hope this makes sense - late night last night - feel sooooo rough) ;]

anyways.. i'd move on and colour it now..

Justa Fledgling · member Member # Joined: 23 Oct 2001 Posts: 99 Location: CA

Id love to color it if i had a damn tablet. Forget doin it with a mouse. Anybody care to take a crack at it?

I know this guy personally. We are both very good friends so you can trust me when I say that he drew this picture to make up for his girlfriend's uglyness. He wishes his girlfriend was as good as looking as me but she isn't. You have to give him credit for his imagination to come up with this woman when so long he has look at his girlfriends hidious face. I know you like this Wes.

I was just playing! I just did it out of fun and he does have a pretty hot girlfriend. He know i was just playing and it was just a joke. I also think that his girlfriend is better looking then the fairy in his pic. Once agian just playing!

Ignore this idiot known as Robby. I showed him this site and because my hot GF bugs him he decided to write a bunch of nonsense. But hes receiving psychiatric help so there might still be hope. It seems he has to make fun of others to deal with his being fat and going bald. Hes beginning to look like uncle Fester. Thats ok though, i still think of him as almost human in appearance and almost ape in mentality.
