This is a CG I did of a drawing by Juha Harju. I did NOT do the original drawing, I only colored it.

This is my 2nd attempt at doing a CG without any "lines", if you know what I mean. I learned alot, but there is still plenty I need to learn, so if you see something, please fill me in. Thanks

I am not a painter, so I cannot provide much advise, how ever I do like the way you colored it.

Nice work.

Nice work on the colouring but I think that there are a few areas that could use a little tweaking.
The areas of skin are great and have nice areas of highlights and shadows but the dress and belt look flat to me as does the top and the jewels around her head.
Adding a little more depth would help as at the moment they tend not to stand out as much as they to.

I think you need to work on those materials better. The gold isn't really appearing as metal because it has zero reflectiveness. The airbrushed cloth doesn't look too good..either. I believe it'd be better if you defined it well with a hard brush first and then smoothen the folds. The bracelets don't look as metallic as the original drawing intended them to (same problem as with the gold).
Less saturation might be better too and less of that fog thing you've got going wouldn't hurt either.

To be honest I would suggest painting your own drawings, unless you are practicing for a comic colorist job. This is not the way to learn to paint well. The drawing has lots of detail that is lost in the painting.

Fabric of the skirt needs a little work, esp right next to her skin. It looks almost like an extension of her skin. Shouldn't there be some sort of distinction between the skirt fabric and her skin? Maybe the fabric raises off the skin, etc?

And yea, the gold looks a little flat, too yellow.
