I know I said I wouldn't be submitting anything, and I'm not... this is my final for my Digital Media class this semester. We could do whatever we wanted, as long as it incorporated our theme (mine is the dragon). Ah well I'm not much of a painter yet, but I suppose I'm getting there. Also, yes, that is a younger version of me. That is, it's supposed to be. I wasn't really a creepy doll-lookin' zombie when I was 8. Really.
Hope you enjoy!
Edit: I fixed her cheek. That's all I have time for.
Well, once again, Evan, you impress me. I'm consistently amazed by your artwork, and hope I can be as good as this one day.
That said, a few things jump out at me right away. The bangs on the girl's bowl cut don't really look all that natural; it's more anime hair-ish than realistic, which I get the feeling is what you were going for. Also, her face looks bulky, with her left cheek puffing out like she has the mumps. The shadowing on her neck makes it look almost unnaturally thin, too. The curve of her nose also looks a little too flat for my taste. Finally, her left arm that's raised near the window doesn't look quite right... it's like her shoulder is too far back.
Having said that, of course, there's a lot to like here. The perspective is all very consistent to my eye, which is very nice. I like the different colors on the dragon, and the way it's reeling back. The expressions on the dragon's face definitely conveys the sense it's more scared of that girl than she is of it. Especially with the girl looking so clearly fascinated and awestruck at what she sees! It's nice to tell a little story just through a static image like that.
Hopefully I haven't come across as condescending with my critique, but here's hoping the project nets you a high grade.
I love how you did the coloring. its so shiny! the highlights on the hair are absolutely perfect. I also love the way you drew the dragon, its a great pose with a lovely shades of blue. The Expressions are fitting too, the surprised look at the tiny dragon at the window to the almost fearful anxious look of the dragon. I did however notice that her left cheek seems a bit off, as in its larger than the other cheek. Another thing I noticed is that the Dragon isn't at a doorstep but at a window sill, but thats really unimportant.
Great Work Evan I'm sure you'll get an A+ on it ^w^
I think I read the book a little while ago....it lingers i the foggy part of my brain sadly. This is truly amazing work! I love how the dragon has a spooky glow to it (well I think it does, it looks forboding)
