I just can’t seem to draw the sleeves to my satisfaction. The more I tried, the more I didn’t know what to do, and I had a gestalt collapse. This painting is now complete, and I’ve come to understand my current abilities, and I’m ready to take on the next challenge.

For some reason the colors look different. I have more to study. The issue mentioned above has been resolved. The color issue has been resolved. It seems that it was necessary to specify a color profile in the web browser as well.
It’s neat how you chose a blue color for both the dress and the background, but the clothing still remains easily readable regardless of the close colors.

Having been told that, I realized it was a good idea and gave it a try.
Just when I needed it, there was a rose right in front of me, so I held its petals up to the light for a closer look.
I feel like I’ve understood some of the issues with my painting. thank you.

Thank you. This picture was a challenge to draw mostly in similar colors.
Excellent, this has a very nice ethereal quality. The simplicity of the character contrasts pleasantly with the intricacy of the dress and the hair. The pose is also very sensual to me. This could easily be an album cover.
