So this started as cartoon practice, then became this and took forever and a half to get there! Not in labor but actually sitting down and finishing it- n there's always that one spot where you think 'what the hell do i put there?' Or is that just me? So the first half was with my old markers, then a 3-6 month break, then the second half was with my snazzy new markers!! They're the best!! So worth getting my bike stolen over (-ish)!
Its weird because there are parts in this pic that i feel came together so well and i love, but then there are parts i wish i could rip off of the final. Oh well. Overall i like it better than the other stuff ive been drawing lately and hope you like it too! If you do, or dont, lemme know! And why if its not too much trouble! Thanks!

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactThis definitely caught my eye in my message box, definitely a cool concept you're working with! I've a few critiques though:
- I'm not sure if you're going for the stylized look, but if you aren't, in the future you should give the anatomy of faces another lookover before you render them fully. I'm loving the details in the eyes and the fact you dared to use different 'non-natural' colours for her skintone, but don't forget to give proportion to faces - her lower face is not proportionate to the rest of it, i.e. her nose is much too thick by the eyes, the jaw/mouth area doesn't go down long enough. Her expression is super cute but you just don't want your faces to accidentally look "squished". But your use of expression is great here. (:
- While black is great at making elements of a piece really pop out at you, it's always a good thing to try using darker colours on your colour palette to define borders/details, it gives it a more natural look. For example if you had simply used a darker brown or say even a sort of purple for the darker lines and details with your tree, it would look more natural. Of course it always depends on the effect you're trying to get at. (: Black is always a good choice but it doesn't hurt to try something new/different.
- I really do love how colourful this piece is but it's a bit hampered by the black lines and the strong browns on the right side of the piece. Because these colours are so dark/strong, they want to overwhelm your composition and bring the attention more to the right instead of focusing on Lady Sunrise and the 'lesser elements' aka the sunrise itself.
- One can tell that you used old & new markers in this piece. It helps to really abuse an old piece of scrap paper with blending techniques so that your old markers ink appears smoother like your new ones. The butterfly is an AWESOME example of super smooth blending, whereas the water isn't quite so. When old markers try to give out you can try to dip them in a small bit of water and see if you can possibly get more ink out of them. (:
Other than that I'm REALLY loving how the butterfly came out, and the details in shading. Your use of colour, details, & concept are great too. Really great work, one can tell you put a lot of heart and effort into it. (: I hope this helps you in the future and I hope it wasn't too long to read. <3
