Artist's Comments

I had trouble deciding what category to put this in but decided on Traditional Art because the characters are, I think, the main focus of the picture and were created with traditional methods.

Um, but ya; these are my characters (I think) from my NaNoWriMo story that has yet to be written. I can't start it until November so I don't know exactly what it will be about. Basically though, the girl's from our time and the guy's from the 1870's. I think he's trying to tell her something. And I don't know why she's barefoot...Actually I do; I didn't feel like drawing shoes.
I like this picture better than the one I did recently I think. I hate drawing sitting people from the front by the way; it never looks right. And don't mind the odd shadows...I tried to make them look right but then just sorta gave up.

I drew this one more realistically because I actually used a reference for this picture! (Yay!) Here's a link: [link]
The background's not completely mine either. I modified a picture from: [link] (Yay Google Images...)

I think it looks fine (I can't draw people sitting and facing forward either) If you look at all my pictures of people sitting, they're always sitting angled to the viewer ^^

I like how the hair turned out on your guy character. It looks good covering his eyes (it's mysterious...^^)

Oh, I just looked at it in full view and the girl characters side view turned out really nice ^^ I don't quite know what it is, but I really liked how it turned out :hmm: (I'm thinking...trying to figure it out...)^^

I think it's pretty good too! I need to practice frontal views (side views too), and using a reference pic sounds like a good way to do that....
I like the way you devided the background to make his look more cepia-toned, it's a nice touch.

Actually, I just didn't want to draw his eyes...so I cheated! ;)
