WIP - jungle thing

Hi, I'm just new here. I'm a 15 years old girl, Netherlands, blablabla. I just want to share my newest work with you. I'm not sure with this one. Maybe I should change the shading a bit, or her expression. What do you think? (I'm sorry if my English was shitty.)

She looks kind of sad I think if it was mine, I would turn her face towards the light in a pleasant smile or something, but it's still cute the way it is.

It's coming along nicely The only thing is that the anatomy looks just a little off. Also, this should be in the wip thread.

Hiya, Endless-Art! Yeah, the anatomy needs some work, but more importantly, your lighting of the scene and your subject is inconsistent for the strong light source you have coming from behind the trees. This would illuminate the subject from the back very strongly, with more shadows in front. Since this is the "Paint Me Over" forum, I have done a quick paintover in Photoshop to show you what I mean about the light source. I also corrected the anatomy a bit, as her mouth was too high, her nose too crooked, and her left side too long and at a wonky angle. Hope these suggestions help! ~M

oh yes, I almost forgot. I wanted to mention this: on the first version - I like very much the vivid green tones there. If you decide to remake drawing, it would be great to try to maintain the colour contrast of the composition. methinks...

maybe the books of Loomis can be a great help.

I think you should give it a bit more contrast between the light and the dark! Then fix the anatomy of the body, and give her clothes some more depth. I am also 15 from Greece! [Message edited on 09/24 @774]
