looking real good. the only thing i'd say id that the nose needs to be a tad bit loner and the lips not quite so big.

I've never used acrylics so i can't help you on that front i'm afraid.

post more

and more

wau great colors
have drawn the first time with acryl this week myself and your stuff looks alot better than mine.
How did you achived this smooth gradient?

I which you posted a bigger version so I can see the single brush strokes (so I learn one or two things ).

As far as critics goes I think her waist is way to thin, dont think she can support her ribcage with it .

the wide ribcage gives the impression that her left shoulder is to small.

and her wings should be connected at a higher point (where her breasts are hight wise).

other than this it is an impressiv work.

oh and you can edit or delete posts by clicking the paper and pen icon above your post.

Thanx G!! All great points! However the wings were a stylistic decision I thought it aided the overall design, the flow and all that.

Thanx for the help with board too!
Now for the secrets.. some of the gradients are acheived by mixing Glycerin into the paint mix so the paints act more like oils and I can blend em. Its like a moisturizer for babies and stuff. You can usually find it at your local drug store here in the states. Other places i just kept painting on it.. mixing a big mess of paint, finishing a section, then lighting or darkening the pigment depending on the light source. Its a time consuming thing and Im just getting the hang of it...right now I'm too impressed with myself.. so thanx for the crits to keep me grounded.

Next is Chun-Li be seein ya!

ah tnx for the tips SongSiuHua I think I have seen Glycerin right beside the colors when I bought them (thought I guess my art teacher wants me to work only with the colors themself).

Uh Chunli cant wait for that (jumping up in joy).

More beautiful painting! I'm so impressed with your work, Song... the colour choices in that Morrigan pic are gorgeous, it really hangs together - has real flow to it... erm, wish I could think of a good way of saying these things instead of a vague silly way... :\ & can't wait to see Chun Li!

nice picture!! the background really helps to make her stand out more ^_^

if you need help with acrylic you can also paint with watercolor, once you've learned watercolor techniques you can use them for acrylic

or you can use oil techniques. . me love acrylic! it can go both ways
