Description i've been meaning to do a drawing like this for quite some time, i didn't expect it to turn out this way tho (i was planning on a stylized chibi, not a normal chibi)

but so concept: i hate being left in the dark, not the literal dark, but as in, not knowing what's going on, i just don't it makes me feel left out and vulnerable, cause sometimes once you find out it can completely fuck up your life.

this can sort of be portrayed as how a small child doesn't like being in the literal dark

if you can't tell, the thing the words are written on is a door...

Hehe I like the concept! I hate being left in the dark too. =.=

Oh damnn Emmi's comment. o.o

Shading looks hella pro. And because of the eyes on the girl, it kinda looks like "I'm half undead because of the dark..." I dunno that sentence worked a lot better in my head.

what the hell, man, i wrote out this really long critiqueness like i said i would...and then i somehow closed the window T.T
i honestly dont feel liek rewriting this >.<
--
okay, lets see if i can remember what i wrote the first time...
so i really liek the doll/chibi/girl (ill just say doll because thats what i tihnk it looks like, dont think you meant it to look like a doll tho...), ITS JUST SO CUTE! the hair is really cool (i like that greeeeen) and the dress is simple yet childish and fitting for the character. same for the shoes, and the tights i guess are okay, but too dark against the wall itself. i would maybe advice a or two shade lighter.
the bunny is cute too; it looks a bit weird and misshappen...but thats maybe because it has no arms. which i know is sometihng you do, but it makes the ribbon thing kind of odd. if i held a bunny, id maybe hold it by the ear of not the arm? because the ribbon is such a brighter shade, red, then it looks kinda of...hmm, lopsided, id say. the bottom of the right part, looks awk as well because idk what it really is. is it another leg? xD;; it also should be a little bit darker? its behind the girl, and she is blocking the light. i would probably use a different color...well, maybe. the blue with blue is a bit much, yet any other color...doesnt...really...fit iguess o.O pink, lavender, etc are too warm, so i guess its fine. however, if you make it darker, be careful not too make it too dark against the wall. i like the lighter effect you have around the doll and bunny, makes it distinctive and clear. good job on that!
as for the door, i like the white lettering on black background thingy effect, and the outlining in white looks good as well. the light underneath the door, that yellow stripe, looks...idk, odd. ive never taken the time to look (and yes, i just turned in my seat to look at the bottom of my bedroom door, again), so i might be wrong, but i dont think its a distinctive, clear stripe of light. you may wanna see it with your door if it opens outward and not inward like my bedroom door. so i might be wrong. yes.
id say the lettering itself is good, and i like that red on black with your name too!
that plain yellow...idk, its fine, really, but somehow i keep thinking maybe there should be things inside it too? you dont hafta add anything, but just a thought.
oh, and i liek the girl's shadow as well. the hairband&bow is cute too
her face has good shading, and limbs, and the emptiness of the eye is a cool effect. i dont think youve used it except for on Waiting... it also helps with the overall message youre trying to express with the picture. hollowness, left out... :\
the tear is fine white, i think. good outlines, i love how clean your lines are! theyre usually nice and straight as well, do you use a ruler? xD
oh, and for the yellowlightstripe under the door, with the shadow, its a little bit fuzzy. idk how you can help it, and its really minor, so dont worry about it.
--
okay, i tihnk thats about it. ill add more if i can think of it...
i tried to write a really long feedback this time
hope i did okay? :]
i wonder if youll actually go and read this whole thing @___@
wouldnt blame you if you didnt xD;

RoRoShell In reply to emmiwish [2010-10-18 04:11:33 +0000 UTC]

ahaha i read the whole thing!
I LOVE YOU THANKYOUSVERY MUCYH 8D
yeah i agree the tights turned out too dark... i was lazy about that XD
about the yellow stripe, it depends on where the light source is outside of the room, ill show you sometime from my room or sthn cause thats similar to what it looks like
yeah it's too blue >_> i couldn't decide on colors so i stuck with mainly blue... i need to plan out colors better...
agreed the ribbon is too bright, but i just love that shade of red to death so i didnt care XD
the lighter outline i erased around the girl and bunny last minute so that they would show up better
and the bunny, yes i dont like to give bunnys arms, but now i decided to nix the legs too 8D heheh
its what i would call a sack bunny i guess... and yes ribbon is at funny angle XD im sure the shading is off too, but eh i suck at shading XD
yes i used a ruler haha, i forced myself to no matter how much i didn't want to XD
and yes im starting to love the hollow eyes =3 >weirdo

(donnt you just looooove how i randomly answered your comment in a random order? XD) sorrehs haha...

thanksagain for essay ^^ love yous

nonono youre getting much better at shading!
rulers are good, but lets just wait until you can draw a perfectly straight line WITH NO RULAH 8D
