Just thought I could post some art here and get some critique!
But before that, quick question: does this forum accept image links from deviantART? I've been uploading stuff to imgur because I know it works for sure, but I would rather use dA if I can.
This was for a contest on dA. I had a more complex background in mind for this, but the original paper got ink splotches and I ended up cutting the girl out. Fortunately I'd just bought a calendar, so I took the cardboard backing, colored it with chalk pastel (which apparently works beautifully with cardboard!), glued her on, and drew approximately 5 billion feathers in gel pen.
My first time using markers! I'm happy with this background, even though it looks really simple. I used a blender marker on yellow colored pencil, and then used chalk pastel to make a gradient. I'd love to try the blender + colored pencil technique again, but it does use up a lot of the marker.
You can also tell I do a lot of Sailor Moon fanart. This is a gift for a friend.
Just some outfit designs for an art trade. I'm not really sure what the original inspiration was. I think it was like "Victorian mages at a wedding", because that's really all I'm getting right now. (full view is probably better for this one)
I know these three have really simple backgrounds, and I definitely want to work on more complex ones -- I've done them in the past, I just never have good background ideas.
Anyway, critique is appreciated! Especially on anatomy and definitely coloring, colored pencil gets eaten by the scanner and I'd love to know how to fix that.
