Description

It's been a long while. I haven't drawn/painted anything because it's just so warm and I felt very sluggish after work. Or i was just lazy. Finally I think I have slacked long enough. To start again I picked up some doodle that I did a while ago, and finished it. Hurray!

This picture is based on an idea I had while I was back to my hometown. I was standing on the top of this tallest building in the world at the moment, Taipei 101. The entrance fee was very expansive, and I was with my brother, not my boyfriend, so it was nowhere near romantic. I felt bored, and just wanted to distroy something to make the trip more interesting. All of a sudden I thought of painting a picture like this.

So this is just some kind of ocassional freaky thought that doesn't make any sense. Therefore please don't ask me what it means. It's probably all about my subconscious, if you believe in such type of thing.

Started with a very rough pencil skech and painted in Photoshop. Used my own reflection in the mirror as ref for various places.

Edit:
I made some updates according to some of the comments. Thanks all for the inputs!

Hey Michelle,

great to see you again:)

Very nice painting which has your trademarks allover it
(lighting, character design etc)

Would have prefered a less straight forward/ static shot.

The hand is beautiful done

Very nicely don! i love the background, and her hair too. I think you might want to check the lighting around the collarbone area, seems a bit sharp at the moment.
Just beautiful!

Concept:

Strong

Technical Skill:

Very strong

Impact/impression:

Strong
Pros:
Great work on the colours and shades, the realisation of her hair is particularly good. I also love the way you have blended the colours here with plenty of variation. Nice work also on the clouds and smoke.
Cons:
The girl seems to be a little lop sided, I'm not sure if this was intentional but it's a little destracting. It'd be nice to see the hair flowing a little bit to give the work a more dynamic effect.
Overall opinion/feedback:
On the whole a great work, a good concept which has been well realised. Very nice painting.
