Artist's Comments

The finished painting from the tutorial I made at the request of someone. Done in SAI with flat and round bristle brushes. Used my character Gabrielle with a minor difference in her hair style. I'm pretty satisfied with it, but I'd like to hear others opinions.

Critiques


:iconhyannah77:
Overall this is a good image. I like the back lit look the character has, and I love the devious expression! The interestingly textural background is also a nice touch.

My main critique for this piece would have to be a lack on continuity and balance. In the top two thirds of the image, you have mostly warm colours, with the subject in purple to make her stand out, while in the bottom third of the image, you have almost equal amounts of warm and cool colours, which gives the image an unbalanced look. Style-wise, the character is done with some shading, but also with outlines, and has black lines in many places rather than shading, which is inconsistent with the fruit, in which there's significantly less contrast (no true black outside of the kiwis) and no outlining, or lines used too show texture.
I think continuity would make this image more effective.

This looks pretty good :) I think I would like to see the strawberries faded a little, as they look on the same plane as the banana. Otherwise, I'd call it done :)

i like the background of this one very much can i ask exactly how it was done? also the style of the character is nice

oh man. school sucks.
:iconbureiku:
Thanks. I tried to document most of it in the tutorial I made. Painted in the program SAI, but the blending and shading was mostly done with small circles instead of straight strokes.

I like the colors and the style of this artwork. The watermelon and her hair could use more detailing. And I really don't get the subject, what is the idea behind her among all the fruit?
:iconsadist-oldman:
i love the background and the character but somehow the fruits seems a little flat i dont know how to explain they do have shades and depth but they seem too smooth

Thanks, I've been going back and making some changes to this and one of them was adding more detail to the hair. I keep finding things to try and fix, but I haven't posted those changes yet. The fruit was just a spontaneous idea of her being around some abnormally sized fruit trying to pick the best one.

Yes, I started noticing that when I go back to look at that. And I think the fruit didn't have enough depth in some areas to separate them and keep them from being flat. I also think that with her being outlined reduced the depth a bit. I'm in the process of rendering her without the outline and darkening some areas.
