Even though you...Well done, Ms. Newborn, well done. Even though you're using some pretty loud local colors for the butterflies, the palette you chosen isn't overwhelming and works well. I really like what you've done with the differing line colors, especially in the passage between her hair, face, and clothes. Using the white stroke around the butterflies also gave them a more "surreal" feel that works very well. While his drawing style is very different (very comic-book influenced), Nathan Fox (foxnathan.com) frequently employs different line colors in different parts of his drawing to great effect, and he'd definitely worth taking a look at.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you, in color it looks a little less like Scarlett than it did before, but I think that's mostly due to her scale in the drawing. If you'd drawn her as a larger percentage of the frame, you would have had more room to finesse the likeness so that it held together through coloring. I wouldn't say the likeness disappeared altogether, though: Scarlett would still be my guess about who this was.<BR/><BR/>I like the details in the back. Perhaps a few more, some weirder junk, maybe a bit more clutter?<BR/><BR/>Rachel, I'd call this a success, and it's fantastic to see you actually flexing these creative muscles in your "off" time. You've also singlehandedly made the blog a worthwhile endeavor, and made me look bad by posting first, so thanks for that. You get an A, I'm giving myself a B-, and the rest of you get C+'s until a few more portraits get put up here. Why can't the rest of you be more like Rachel?<BR/><BR/>mMikeChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09679424092675522485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886522097420850864.post-21078854412572941092008-06-05T21:30:00.000-05:002008-06-05T21:30:00.000-05:00Wow!
