Digital painting done with Photoshop. Still learning, I think I paint too smoothly and the image is a bit lifeless as a result. Used as a reference Thank you so much [link] And for the crystal wand thing. Thank you [link]
I think coldness of the picture suits her expression. I know it is not what you wanted but I think it suits her somehow. I am not good in this at all so I am impressed about your talent in using this kind of media.
The most gorgeous thing about this painting with doubt are the colousr - warm golden/ peachy combined with clear blues makes the image vibrate in some way. About the plasticity you mentioned... I guess it`s all about the soft brushes, they totally ruin the textures. Here`s a good set brushes for painting characters: [link]
Beautiful work, Pat! I love the glow of the wand and Moon/Halo behind her and how it reflects on her clothes and skin, her expression is pensive and doesn't seem lifeless to me, the only critique I would have is the same as =Raishuu, that the hair is a bit too smooth, overall absolutely lovely piece.
Beautiful work, the colours harmonise really well and I love the way you painted her hand. The skin colour is very rich and lively. The only thing that I can criticise is the hair which looks a little blurred in some places and her eyes look in slightly different directions But other than that, really great work!
