Artist's Comments



11x14 cold press watercolour paper
Water-soluble crayons, alcohol, ink





Rarely do I go back and rework something, as for me, once an idea is exhausted... it's... well. It's exhausted. However I am so in love with this concept that I feel the first version did not at all do it justice.


Feel free to view for comparison.






Thank you for looking :iconkissmeeplz:


Critiques


:iconswitchbladeserenade:
This is beautiful. I have both versions open in separate windows for comparison, and the difference is stunning. I'm very glad you reworked this one.
The new version is so much richer. The coffee colored background makes her white skin stand out in such stark contrast; it draws the eye to the shading differences between face and hand.
I also love that you clearly defined the shape of her collarbone, and the tendons in her hands.
The flowers are an excellent touch.
I'm wondering what it says next to her? Is that the title of the piece?
Finally I have to add that I find the snowflake(?) in her right eye to be vaguely creepy, but that's is part of what I like about this piece. The addition of something strange that makes it beautiful.
I wish I could comment better on your technique, but I'm not well versed on trad art. But I really do love this piece.

You just won the game. Congratulations.

Definitely an improvement from the original, it looks absolutely fantastic :)

The piece of rice, or what it may be, that she's holding in the chopsticks looks a bit to me like it could be the pupil from the eye that's missing one, which also seems to be made of rice, so maybe that's the point? :B

Beautiful. This is the most beautiful chinese girl I've seen. Love the facial expression and the words, and the background. Everything. Just love it all~ Keep up the good work. Oh and by the way, this will be my favorite.

This new one is alot better due to the background! I don't like reworking ideas as well. Because I always try to put my best into them, so I don't generally see what I can do... Kind of a shame really. :hmm:

Inventor of common sense.

lol, Keith's mother loves this and was doting all over it this morning. I told her that the girl is messed up, and got rice in her eye.
