Hello everyone, just wanna show my water color painting that i just finished yesterday. I've had to admit that water color painting was my weakest point, since i really prefer sketching. But i'm practicing hard to make it more realistic. I usually paint landscapes and structures so this is my first attempt to color a human using water color.

Medium used: Prang Water Color
Board: Berkeley Board

*the concept wasn't original, another artist already created a painting with this theme so to differentiate it, i change the child from boy to a girl and that girl is derived from the mangaka named Pon.



I accept any opinions but not harsh and foul words that wouldn't help me improve at all. Thank you very much! <3

It looks really amazing!
coloring looks nice and smooth, i like it :)
but i would suggest trying to put more colors, how should i say this :/ for example try using purpule (or green because your drawing has alot of green) as shadows and mix it with skin color or hair, or clothing, if you know what i mean, but this really looks awesome.
People say that more colors gives more life to the drawing, thats something i learned recently, because i have big problems with coloring, i can't get colors right.... :(

I like it a lot. I love how it is both realistic and whimsical. I'm not much of an art critic, but IMO, if the grass that the person is on was a different shade from the moss on the head, it would help make the moss stand out more.

Shading is great and it looks really nice. The body looks a bid awkward/wide, but still good!

Don't like it. It looks like a child draw it. But I guess it's just not my kind of what I consider good art. Keep it up or don't.

Not bad.
Need to work on the arms! And I completely disagree with Bloodania, since I can't paint like that :P

I would try bringing the glow of the skin to the green and the shirt, have some more form shadow especially on the torso, and adjust the angle of the arm and hand. Bring some green from the grass to the torso too!

@Bloodania: If you've got nothing constructive to say, don't say it. Comments like yours are easy to give and easy to dishearten growing artists. You were nothing but hurtful, and if you think it made you look like a badass, it didn't. Grow up.

She didn't say constructive criticism, just criticism in general.

Don't like it unfortunately.
The arms look glued to the body which resembles a potato in stockings and the right arm doesn't even look human.
The grass and face are ok but the background seems out of place as I feel it should show the sky or something.
Just some honest criticism.
I've been here way too long...

Thank you for preaching the truth!
