Ulterior_Motives

I admit- your latest piece shows a definate jump in quality and improvement.

The colors aren't nearly as "muddy" as the other pieces. They're much cleaner and crisper. Much more refreshing- it shows alot more of what you can do. There's also a bit more creativity.

The only suggestion I have to to vary your values a bit more. You're stuck in the light ranges(as with most watercolorists) and the true drama/glory will come once you push the values...Which is a very very hard thing. I'd also like to see more depth. The wall seems nearly on the same plane. It's the same value and temperature as the figure.

I figured that too. I was going to add some depth to the green background so it wouldn't look so plain ><. And yeah, value is a crazy thing with watercolor..but it isn't too hard. I really wanted to focus to be on the character and flowers with this pic, that's why everything else was on the simplistic side. I am, however, going to go back to the picture soon.


Thanks for the comment.

It's definitely something different than what I have seen in anime art. I won't give you a full critique since 1) I don't have the time 2) I agree with Ulterior_Motives on value and depth 3)I only got 4 hours of sleep last night and I'm tired. The talent is there, don't give up!
