Description

Keep forgetting to post paintings here. Anyway, I'm drawing a lot of doll like characters lately. It's fun to be free to twist certain features. This one came pretty naturally. I wanted to painting something yellow, and it turned out to be a fun challenge with gold.

Photoshop+tablet.

It's gorgeous, but I do think the gold ornaments seem pasted in. The nose, lips, and ear are lovely, though, and I adore her cloud of hair (but perhaps giving it some more contrasty strands would help ground the gold ornament?). Very pretty. :)

Thank you guys!
I thought it was a nice contrast of the intricate ear piece and everything else, maybe a bit too much contrast. I agree that I could do more to incorporate it. I think I saw it as a more graphic piece in the beginning. Logically, that thing can't be connected to her, so I think I just left it at that.

thanks again:}

The girl and the background are both way to simple to look interesting, but then that ear ornament lifts the painting so incredibly much! The detail of the ornament is truly amazing, and it looks 100% like real gold. You sure know where to place the shades and what colours to use. Oh, and there's a nice little butterfly next to it, too! I love the contrast between the simple surroundings and the detailed gold. Yet, maybe you could have made the simple surroundings just a little bit smaller, because it's a bit too much of it now, even with the ornament there. It gets a little dull.

Thumbs up for the ornament! (thumbup)

I like a lot how she seems 2d or 3d depending on the part you are looking...strange effect!

I think the reason why the very nice jewellery looks like it was pasted in is that it doesn't seem to drop and shadows or reflections on the girl.
The ring on her hand seem to be a similar case, but because that part is brighter, it blends in a lot better, I'd say.
The rest I like.

Truely beautifull piece. I disagree with Jane; Without the ear element this would be a pretty scene with a lively serenity.

She looks so incredibly lovely. The most thrilling parts is mouth and nose. Smoothness combined to color palette really makes it here.
Here eye makeup is so striking, too.

Only thing I don't like is the photographic golden elements. They just seem to stick out oddly, especially at her neck. Casting shadow could help. ;)

I am sure you have a lot of comments telling you how awesome this piece is. well here is another one....I seriously had an eyegasm. I think It is because you went to so many extremes, without over complicating the piece...beautiful

I love the colors. Her creamy white skintone goes well with the background. This reminds me of the 60's because of the polka dots and the hairdo. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
