Storm



















She's finally done... I think. Let me know what you think.

  1. Thanks for the info on life drawing. I may stop in and get in some practice.

    I really love the colors in your storm. I do however feel there is some sort of uncomfortableness and tension because she is shoved up in the left hand corner like that. I feel her arm is much to short and the other too long because of it. I still think is beautiful but I feel it could be more so with some changes

  2. This is awesome Marie,
    i think that my favorite part is actually the lower hand. the shape/ contrast are super dramatic and awesome. whole thing looks great though!
    Cheers

  3. Thanks Noah! :)

    Alex, unfortunately there's not too much I can do to fix the fact that she's in the corner. That was poor compositional planning on my part. If I were to fix it I would have to repaint her entirely... and I'd rather get started on a new painting than go through all the trouble. Thanks for all of the feedback though! :)

  4. this is a nice piece.

    (and compliments must ALWAYS be followed by criticism, because it's written in stone somewhere by SOME diety)

    I second Alex's comment. that arm just doesn't have room to breathe. then again, maybe if you tossed something in the bottom opposite corner maybe it could work?
