False Goddess Rhapsody, GENERIC FLUFFY RAIEART

This was fun to draw and even more fun to colour. I LIKE FLUFFY BACKGROUNDS OKAY. AT LEAST THIS ACTUALLY ENDED UP AS SOMETHING MORE THAN SWIRLIES!


Background thing for website for homewerkz.

Yeah I'm having trouble making sense of these things, too, to be honest. Also, her arms are rather short, and her chest seems rather deformed and disproportionately small.

You rendered the fluttering clothing and hair very nicely, and the legs aren't too bad. All in all, the composition is very pleasant, too, but it seems as if you got a little too caught up in the "flowy" aspects of this drawing and completely neglected to properly gauge proportions and anatomy.

Oh, screw you, Smoke, I can't unsee it.

Very beautiful, as always!

It's alright. I liked your old style better.

Why is she a tube?!?!?!


But either way I love the coloring. Anatomy could use some work, but it's not as if this hasn't been stressed more than thrice in this ****ing topic yeah.

It's very beautiful.

Yes I agree, and love the colored hair

Huh? I have more than one style that I use regularly.

Oh! I thought this was a transition.

But it's really good for what it is. There are anatomy issues yadda yadda

You should try using references to improve the anatomy problems. There are like, 9001 reference collections online; I don't imagine it would be too difficult to find one that fits your liking.

This really was just a quick thing I was making for a background for something I had to do for school. I was more focused on the cloudy fluffy stuff and added the character on top as an afterthought.

Was it an art class?

Because honestly, while the background is visually pleasing and the colours aren't too hard on the eyes, the clouds are not very accurately rendered. They look pretty, but in the sort of sense that overly abstract and simplified children's work does -- not to imply that your drawing is similar to that of a child, but rather that it's beauty if you will is in it's deviation to reality.

In other words, I find the clouds' perfect roundness and fullness to be a little difficult to believe -- it's much like how children always draw trees like blobby things with a "trunk" sprouting out of the bottom and suns as circles with lines bursting out of them. Our minds have been trained to think, "Yes, that is a tree, and that is a sun," but in reality, these things bear little resemblance to what they are supposed to symbolize. I have the same problem with these clouds -- yes, my left-brain says to me, "This is a cloud because it is puffy and white-ish in colour, and society has taught me that that is in fact a cloud," however my right-brain objects and retorts, "No, clouds don't look like that; that is merely a cultural symbol of a cloud -- this is what a real cloud should look like."

tl;dr, I guess what I'm trying to say is that you may want to consider looking to references even when drawing things that aren't people, because when many people draw, their left-brain takes over and tells them to draw "a blobby white thing" because that is what we've been taught from childhood represents a cloud. But what distinguishes a true artist is when they can ignore their left-brain and depend solely on their right-brain -- the side that interprets a certain map of colours, hues, and shapes as a cloud, and draws clouds accurately and based on reality -- not symbols.

If that makes any sense at all? I'm trying to summarize what someone once said a long time ago to me that helped me a lot with my art.

When I actually tried.

No, it wasn't. It was a class where I had to make a simple website about something I liked, so I decided to use my random storytreegrowinginsidebrain. I just needed a quick something for the background.

Well the C&C is still as applicable as it would have been otherwise.
