nice handling ot the medium ..like the quality of smoothness...watch that anatomy..the arms are a bit longer and the value on the arm at left is too abrupt of a change from the overall skin tone..also her exspression seems a bit dead..it helps sketching live subjects and studying anatomy a lot..but very nice very nice overall
Artist Reply: Actually, She was done from life as well as several photos...when I had Meghan pose over the water, she rolld here sholders way foward to reach into the pond and the shadows and light gave her that "long armed" look. I realized that it made her seem a bit out of propprtion, but,since she was painted as a mythical being, I kind of liked the effect...Thanks so much for your comments!!!! They are really appreciated!
She's cute! I like her expression, the colours, mood, etc. I know I couldn't ever come close to such talent, but I do have a possible suggestion: her face looks a little stiff, like she's hypnotized or something as such. Plus, her legs seem a tad out of proportion (Then again, that's just me of course). Otherwise, it's quite splendid indeed!
Artist Reply: Thanks so much for your comments!!! Meghan used to actually pose for alot of photos and many times she got that sweet little "dazed" look on her face and I thought it went nicely on a fairy.
