Description
Well about this sketch. I was rather keen on using metaphor in it. I wanted to discuss how we lose our innocence as we grow up. The woman in the sexy dress but holding a doll in her hand while looking in the doll`s direction but not actually looking at it. Looking all gloomy as she try to look at the past. In her other hand she is holding a leafless flower. A flower who lost her leafes as she lost her innocence. She got a fairy like figure representing childhood and freedom as all butter flies are. What can be worst thing that can be done to a butter fly more than holding her? Also the chains are not really ristricting her from the limbs she could get free from them only if she could see them. All she can see is her lack of happiness..... I hope u liked the theme.Related content

i really like your idea here, but i think you could be more descriptive. i would like to see her placed in an environment rather than a plain white background. i think it would be cool if the chains were connected to something we could see -- it could be another outlet to add more symbolism? i really like your shading and this a great idea, nice work

Thanx alot for a nice comment. about the chains I have tried to make them loose and tied to almost nothing visible to demonstrate how abstract they are. She can take them off anytime only if she can see them. Although the chains are wrapping her body in a way to show that she is firmly bonded she is not restricted totally. Sry if this wasnt apparent in the drawing. I sometimes get a bit vague

yeah maybe you might want to rework the chains since it wasn't apparent in the drawing?

Yes, much better, see how much more into the person you can get, she doesnt look like just a line penciled drawing.., she has depth, soft lines and shading much much better I really like it.

that will be tedious. As it is too small and detailed to be colored with pastels. Which means I have to color it digitally. Which I have never done :S

not bad i liek the chains and how they wrap around her and seemingly hold her down, you got nice shadign skills but i think certain shadow areas could definetly be darker, but good job yo

Very nice shading, especially on the wings and you put a lot of thought behind your symbols. Loss of innonce is an interesting theme.

Thanx alot. I really appreciate it. Although most people just seem to skip the symbols. They tell me nice wings or something. Well I am happy to please both sides anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem, I know what you mean. The thing with symbols is they sometimes get very personal and subjective, so that it can be hard for others to relate to the symbols that you might find meaningful, so it gets easier to comment on something else.

Love the concept - and the shading is done well. Face looks kinda funky though.. ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea the face is my fault actually. I have tried to make it look like a heart. To add to the meaning of everything in the picture. Ooh and I also tried to make her body a bit slim and childish. For the same purpose. Thanx alot though.

That will be my fault actually. I have tried to show her face a heart like. And I also tried to make her body slim and childish to add to the meaning of the theme. If u said so as well as a couple to, That mean I have kinda failed in this one. Np will fix it when I color this though.

The anatomy is a little off involving her head and hands and legs.. but but shading looks quite lovely!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanx I will look on fixing the anatomy more. The fact is I was just playing with a piece of paper then I took it a bit serious later. Will try harder on proportions later.

Thanx ur so sweet. I will try to color it asap.

I'd work on the shading a bit. It's too uniform. Pull out the good old 8HB and exxagerate the tones. It's a good start.

Thanx for the constructive criticism. I appreciate it. I did alter the Shadows greatly in the picture. I hope u like it. Please send me a feedback.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To be honest; I don't see any difference. DARKER! EXXAGERATE!!! Don't be afraid to exxagerate.
