Description

Trying something new, mixing some styles. It's kind of roaring twenties / art nouveau-ish, I guess. I wanted her skin to be very pale and porcelain-like, and the rest of the colors to be very soft and simple, combined with the harsher outlines.

Drawn in Photoshop, no vectors or anything.

I used my very own photos for references for the flowers.

Very classy...and she has a beautiful face. The flowers are my favourite part, though--they're so graceful!

I'm lovin' the style here! Leaves me wanting for one or two more shaded areas, but that could just be me. Lovely piece!

You definitely achieved an art-nouveau look with this lovely image. I like the bold, calligraphic lines contrasted with the delicate pastel pallet. Excellent work!

I like this a lot but I can't help but to think that it feels unfinished. I'm not sure if that's the look you were going for or if it was accidential. The top part of her dress looks great! Right from under the bust down, it's solid white - no shading, no hint of color nothing. That gives it the unfinished feel. I think if you added the same shading/coloring to the skirt and bottom of the jacket like you did with the arms, it would really make the picture perfect!!

Of course, if that was intentional then ignore my comments :p

I LOVE how the skin and face turned out, almost photorealistic with the exception of the outlines, which, for some odd reason, really work well. At first I didn't like the concept, but upon looking at the image longer, it just works :)

I think a little more shading/color on the sash/belt, like with her blouse would also enhance the image.

Great job on the flowers! They came out perfect.

Overall, I like this picture a LOT! I can see it hanging up on a wall, or in a restaurant, with a complimenting frame, and matte.

Great job!!

Very clean style. I agree somewhat with Christinee about the top half being more detailed...but then again, if the bottom half had been overworked, the focus on the face would be lost. Overall, very stylish.

Gorgeous style. I love this. My only crit would be to make the shaded parts (esp. the face) a little more distinct. Otherwise, perfect:)

Very fashion and classy. The colour scheme works really nicely.. nice to see a contemporary vision of art nouveau.

I absolutely love the art nouveau style; well done. Personally, I don't normally like these sort of soft pastel colors, but they work perfectly here. I like the clean, blank expanse of the skirt, but I think you could crop a little off the bottom of the piece to avoid a feeling of being overwhelmed by the white space.

good idea.
i just don't like ( it's a matter of taste maybe) the way you painted the shadow. Something with colored shadow, and maybe more warm color (warm grey?) would have pleased me :)
also i did not noticed at first there as a dress under her jacket ;) skin and dress color are very close.

i like the mix of styles.

I really like this alot! The colors are beautiful and I am fond of Art Noveau style.
Its one little thing tho (you may ignore this of course) the shadow underneath the bust makes it look smaller, compare to the bustmarks on the jacket.
Anyway, Its a very beautiful piece. Well done :)

Soft but edgy! The only suggestion I have is that her left hand seems a bit strange; it's not as boldly lined as the rest of the picture. Great job ^_^
