When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

lol LJ copypasta
Have a WIP sketch - it's for my final piece for my Mucha/Contextual Studies unit in Art. I'm doing a contemporary version of a Mucha woman, studying how Mucha might portray beauty in the modern world. Instead of natural forms like vines and flowers, there are mechanical forms like cogs, wires and screws. I'll print this sketch off when it's done, trace it on to acetete and then project it on to a large piece of watercolour board to be painted :9 Definitely gonna sort out the lips and legs xD Redlines from you artistic peeps would be appreciated! Edit: Fixed the knee and eyes, and added some background :> Sorry it's kinda messy, I'll clear it up as I transfer it onto the larger paper! Still accepting crits, but nothing too major as I'll be scaling this up and transferring onto watercolour paper using the overhead projector today. It'll be harder to change larger areas 'cause it'll no longer be digital and I don't wanna make a mess of the paper xD;; Also, for future reference, is there an easier way of making circular patters on Photoshop rather than endlessly copying and pasting and rotating? 'Cause this was a perfectionist's nightmare e_e Also also, feet will come later >w>;;;; Comments
 Hey, seeing as it's unnatural beauty for modern shit, you totally should've made her skinny with giant fake boobs.
 'slooking nice, I do like the cogs. I thought you meant you were going to do it kinda differently, but it looks really neat how it is. :3 -- Early to rise and early to bed - makes a man healthy but socially dead ...I was actually thinking of doing that xDD;; But then I thought it would tie in with my unit more if I did a Mucha woman, otherwise my art teachers would make me do studies of skinny people with huge boobs or something, for srs.
How did you think I was gonna do it? I am curious now and it might give me some ideas  Thanks Lames >w< -- dozdozdozdozdodozodozodozoo  The ideas of machinery in this picture is true and awesome
 -- Illumiru: I know where you live. Char: But I know where you keep the chainsaw! Ew, that'd be weird...
Uh... I'll doodle it up and note you. -- Early to rise and early to bed - makes a man healthy but socially dead Thanks! Machinery is ace
 !-- dozdozdozdozdodozodozodozoo  Man. This is stunning. I love each little detail so far, all the wiring and the cogs, the cloth folds. The only thing I'm missing are some small subtle lines to define the underside of her breasts, because right now it seems a bit flat. Though you could probably fix that with colour and shading alone, without using lines.
Gimme your skill at drawing humans, Doz : <.  This is gonna be epic awesome. 'nuff said.
-- "They might kill you, but are otherwise pretty forgiving"  Indeed. I love the machinery, too.
The lines look good all around.   I SENSE FREE TRANSFORMED SCREWS!!!!
Srsly, though, this is flipping flapping amazing. The background is soooo intricate, and the wires and cogs swirling around her gives it some great motion! The only thing I'd suggest at this point is, if you can, perhaps move the cog on top of her left (our right) hand down or to the side or something. The way it's angled and the way her fingers are bent makes it look like they're touching and creating kind of an odd tangent. As for repeating circles, you could either use the pen tool to make a big circle, then use the text tool to make O's. Or you could just merge them. Make one circle, duplicate, transform, merge, duplicate both, move both, transform, merge, duplicate all four, etc. etc. Merging large patterns can really speed up the process. -- Never say, "I can't." Instead ask yourself, "how can I?". |

Critiques
The pose and expression are perfect, the overall motion is awesome, and those hands make me want to eat your brains so I can be as good as you, all the little mechanical details are perfect, and your line cleanliness makes me happy in my heart.
As far as critique goes, I'd say the only thing that looks off is her left (our right) knee. It just looks like it juts out a litle too far for the way her leg is currently posed; or at least for the way her lower leg is currently posed. So I'd say the best solution is to move the knee and thigh to the right, or move the calf a bit to the left.
Can't wait to see this finished!
