Description This is part of a MUUUUCH bigger picture, but I think it'll take me forever to finish it. :/

Oh well, she'll be much smaller in the final picture... so maybe you can't see her poorly done... everything. *shot*

And ignore the random color splotches on her. They be me color wheels for stuff.



I'm suddenly losing my muse trying to figure out how to shade her. I fail so badly at this kind of stuff. Trying to focus a little more on "realism" but I'm really bad. I'm struggling between dark layer on top shading, color shading (using masses of colors) or just... meh.

This is Saoirse in her Ivare belly dancer clothing, which is more like an old fashioned Egyptian country in a desert place... but the native language is Ivarian aka Gaelic. (OH TEH LULZ).

Trying stuff out, not liking it, stuck, tired, and hungryyyy.

You're always so good at coloring, Kim. :3 The hands look really nice, as well as the shading in her neck. However, it seems that her head is disproportional to the rest of her body (too big..haha...it's a common mistake though). I think if you fix this, it'll be really really nice.

Thanks for the input Brittna! I'll have to really focus on head-to-body proportions in the future.

I really like it! :3
YOU'RE GETTING SO MUCH BETTER AT DRAWING HUMANS. Keep goooooing!

The only thing that I would mention is that her skin color looks sort of weird. D: It seems like it blends in with the color of her hair too much and the gold colored bangles blend with her skin too. It gives the picture an overall yellow tint. D:

Other than that minor thing, looking good!

Hmmmm~ You're right. D:

I was thinking it would be some way to show off a strange colored light, but it does look like it's blending her face in with her hair. I'mma just get rid of that layer. lol
