Artist's Comments

The reference for my drawing was originally a photo submitted to my latest Winter Contest. However, the minute I saw it I knew I wanted to use it for a nature themed drawing instead.
I wanted to give depth to the clothing and bring out a beautiful green. I also did a lot to give the trees depth and structure.
I wanted that feeling of autumn, where the sky is grey and it is just about to rain. The leaves are falling and there is just that autumn feeling in the air.
As to her face I wanted to keep the shading rather light without too many heavy shadows.
Reference can be seen at my website.

I very much fell in love with her expression and wanted to do some more in the earth colours, which I have come to love a lot.

Made with soft pastels.
(30x30cm | 12x12inches)

Feel free to comment, both good and bad sides of the drawing. I am interested in hearing both.

A very detailed piece indeed and she does seem to fit into this setting quite nicely and has a sense of purpose there! Very realistic rendering of the character and all the details on the robe are wonderful! Sometimes it's fun to mix and match elements of your own work until you are happy with the results, and I say this worked out great! Excellent piece all in all!

Beautiful as usual, Zindy.
I love how you draw eyes.
I also always love your hair.
The trees are lovely and detailed.
My only critique would be the ground.. it looks almost too soft to be ground, more like a blanket or something.
Everything else is wonderful. :]
