I think it really looks great Robin! I'm sorry I haven't reviewed earlier. She's got a really sweet face. I think maybe the eyes should have more sparkle to them, cuz right now they look a bit like knobs. But nevertheless it's a marvellous piece of art. Kinda reminds an old photo. You know, I think it's not so bad if the picture had a little more yellows, it would actually gain by it. Maybe you could do a little colorizing. But if you don't want to that's ok too cuz you're the artist. Anywhoo great work my dear! It more than deserves Keep up the great work.
I agree about the eyes. unfortunately, the pencil crayon I used to colour them was darker than I expected - Can't really fix that without losing a lot of shading on the face. I mean, I could fix it on the computer, but there isn't really much point to that - I want the scan to be true to the original rather than doctored up. I'm weird that way, I guess. As for more yellow... Well, It might be nice, but I really and truly don't want to put any more colour onto it. I'm getting to the point where if I touch it much more I might rip it up, and then I might make EvilBunnySlippers sad. THough yes - more yellow WOULD give it more of an old-photo look, I agree. It's just... gah. It's tough to tint properly with cheap pencilcrayons, I guess. I'm a wimp...
Thanks so much for your review. I promise I'll keep all those tipe in mind next time I do a tinted drawing like this. It's all a learning experience, after all.
I understand you want to keep it looking as close as possible to the original. I mean it's no big deal to fix it on the puter. I t would be weird if I fixed up an oil painting in Photoshop. lol. So here's my tip for you in such cases. I usually take a knife and cut my rubber so it will have a sharp end. That way you won't get anything unnecessary erased. You could try that next time. Yes, blarg, those cheap crayons, I had the exact same thing with my Shippo pic. Anyhow I love your work, just keep it up. And you're very welcome.
Cut my rubber? My beautiful eraser baby? Ok. Tip taken and filed for future reference.
I went against my own wishes anyhow and re-did the whole thing for my home-made calendar for my dad's Christmas pressie. Her eyes look WAY better in the one. I think I'll have to send a print with EBS's original...
