Trying a new way of coloring skin. and omg, an attempt at a background.
her tongue's sticking out b/c I was gonna make it striped, then decided against it at the last minute. I might post the other version up. Maybe. [her tongue was purple & black]
3 hours. Photoshop Elements 3.0. Wacom Graphire Tablet. 31+ layers.
Critique Encouraged Sorry, guys. I don't wanna hear how "cool" you think it looks. Sure it boosts my self-esteem, but it doesn't help me get any better at what I do. "/
even with the background there, there still seems to be a sense of flatness...this is highly due to the way you have done the shading...there isn't a sense of VOLUME...however the line work does look good and clean...

yeah the crayon/chalk effect is in the brushes. If you go to the drop down menu in the options palette, there will be another drop-down box that says "default brushes." Click that and there should be a lot of other brush options.

Hummm.. The background is fantastic, but in this case, it would look better if you outlined each individual brick in black; seeing as how all the lines in Mayu are very bold. Try and balance it better. As always, Mayu is incredibly kawaii - but her nose isn't that big *pokes* Come to think of it, the whole picture would look better if it wasn't for the bold outlining in Mayu. Her hair, for example. It'd look a bit more realistic without the outlining. As for the tongue, some people actually DO have tongues like that. Like.. me >>;
And from now on, I promise to try and be more of a critic than a close friend gushing about how jealous of your talent I am xD

her nose is too that big. D:< lol [[you know what they say about big noses..] ..owait. that's for guys. <_<; and yeah I see what you mean by the bold lines. makes it look too cartoon-y. but who ever said that was a bad thing? xD [/lame cover-up excuse for crappy arts] lawlz

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
