Description

This is my first attempt at a major digital art portraiture which also has some scenery. It depicts a fantasy female overlooking the mountains yearning for her long lost love to return. I usually don't do figure drawings much as my favourite things to draw are sci-fi, aliens and cityscapes..etc, but i thought i might give fantasy/portrait a go. I did this entirely within photoshop CS using a tablet and took me overall 20 hours over 3 weeks. I used some photo reference for the face (nose, eyes etc.) and the rest is my imagination. Crits are welcome as it will only help me improve. Hope you like it.

Well done on the backgrounds. You sectioned her hair a little too much, leaving them unbalanced. When you start out digital painting, use as many references as possible. I rarely had references and that made me very slow to improve.

Remember that digital paintings aren't set in stone - if something doesn't look right, fix it before rending further. Great work for a first! Hope to see more.

Lovely colours, the background is very nice! There are some anatomy flaws though. The left eye is higher than the right one. The head is way too small for such a big body. The hair needs some more work.
Nice first post though, welcome to GFX

Nice bg and good character even there are some issues on the anatomy.
The thumb is too long and I agree with Diane about the head/eyes.
Also the grass in the tower is a little too gree and flat.

Anyway it's a very good start!

Overall's good, can be improved more.
For next improvement:
Less contrast on the background coz it's far away. Clouds, mountains, etc
Put some material on the dress to make it more attractive, and study drapery
Anatomy study or reference on all body (not just face) will make it better.
Good luck and welcome to GFX ^^
