[LtPlissken]

Each time I visit, your art gets more and more refined
and more interesting. You are an exciting artist.
You are a true concept artist.

[Ludic]

Woooah, you've improved so much in these pages. Love all the concepts and the bottom portrait in post #294

[Pixie Trick]

...push your values!!!!! Sick of me yet!?

Literally, all you need is about 20 brushstrokes of a little darker and a little lighter and you're set. Its digital- if it ends up crappy, ctl+z goes back that far. (Also watch out for the skull/neck/jaw shape, and how hair sits on the head)

[p sage]

You've made this woman look very cute, and yet tough. Nice job.

[Kristoff]

Marian Rowling , Thank you my dear! ^____^ You bring smile to my face and hope in my heart of becoming a top artist =D. Marshall is awesome by the way, I would definitely recommend composition class with him too. Things he tells us are unique, I haven't read them in any book before! =O

vayne108 , Thank you ^________^

Creusa , Спасибки спасибкиии ^_____^ я старалась! *_,*

LtPlissken , Thank you hun! =* I'mreally glad you like it! That makes me go further and further!

Ludic , Thank you my dear friend! =D

Pixie Trick , hahaha, naaaah, who can be sick of you, not me definitely! =D Your critique pumps me up to pay more attention to those basic things. Always forget about contrast, but I was really really liking the impact of this stage of the drawing so i left it this way =D I had more contrasty further version but it was a shit =(


p sage , Thank you ^_^

Maybe somebody have seen somewhere these.

Lovely paintings throughout, and gorgeous self portrait! That portrait of your friend looks spot on too

[Marian Rowling]

Hey Katherina I have no doubt if you carry on working this hard that you will be a top artist Well done on the memory drawing exercise. I'm thinking of trying one of these when I get a chance as my memory isn't too good!

Love your pencil portrait of your friend and your self portrait. You've captured a great look on your face like you are thinking about something good that is making you happy. Well done all round and thanks for the tip about composition with Marshall Vandruff.

[Kristoff]

[teapo]

Your SP is soooo HOT!
Are you single?

LOL @ this.

but wow Kat, you have made a lot of progress with TAD. very inspirational stuff. it's interesting to see the process of Dreamteller and all the work that went into planning it.

i'm not sure what that is at the bottom of the illustration-- is it supposed to be stained glass? if it is, it could perhaps use a few strong highlights to show that it's glass? anyway, just some small nit-picking from me. everything is going well so i expect some more awesome things in the future!

Happy Holidays btw !

[witcrack]

witcrack , Thank you my dear! I'll try to inspire you more! ^_____^

You just did, congratulation!

[b-dawg]

Wow, I'm really amazed how much progress you've made in latest couple of months! It's very interesting to see such quick development of somebody.

Here guys're writing about TAD as a thing that helped you with your development as an artist - can you please tell a few things about it? What is that? And how you can get there. Or just give me the link Thank you very much in advance!

[Kristoff]

b-dawg Hey! Thank you for the nice feedback ^_^ TAD is an online art school in USA, even thow i'm from Russia I still can study there! The link - http://theartdepartment.org/
It's a really great school with a lot of great teachers. I have been learning there only half a year, but I can see lots of progress in understanding art.



^____^ New from me

[Aydinal]

Lovely portraits and use of color! I know I already said lovely- but they really are, ahh-

[LastGen]

The last studies look great, good choice of values there.

Keep on going!

[Eyecager]

Really strong painting skills, your portraits are quite lovely. Loving up your studies!

[b-dawg]

Kristoff
Thank you very much for the answer! Love your new updates, especially the girl with medusa, great use of color on that!

Да, а слона-то я и не приметила)) извините. Можно постучаться к вам в аську или скайп? TAD меня заинтересовал, особенно с учётом того, что можно там учиться, даже находясь в России. У меня есть несколько вопросов, но засорять ими ваш скечбук как-то стыдно.

[Othrandir]

Great studies! Love your new illustration.Can't wait to see more stuff!! Maybe u could do more figure studies ( or perhaps u're just not showing all of them) !
