Wedding Present!

Did this up tonight for my "little" cousin, who's getting married in September =) I'm going to frame it with a bunch of pressed flowers for her as a gift!



Close-up.



Excuse the tint. It's late and the flash will just blow out the pencil work!

Critiques are welcome, of course. As always!

This is an amazing drawing, shepeard!

Of course though, doing my duty of being a reviewer/critique I will have to find a fault.
The shading on the face, seems to be a tad off, not neccersairly showing natural shading, but just random spots for effect. But... I may be wrong.

Well done!

Your ever-warm reviewer, Nova.

Thanks!!!

The choppiness, I'm afraid, is partly a result of bad lighting. I will try and take a picture in more natural lighting and see if that helps, any. In reality, the shading is not quite so patchy, and the only spot of unshaded paper is a highlight in each eye and on the teeth.

I thought that may be the case, but I can only say from what I can actually visibly see!

Please do post a more clearer one! This is obviously a brilliant drawing, It's a shame to not do it justice.

+ I hope she has a good wedding!

Hey, Shep.

I'm not going to critique this, since it's based on a real person who I don't know, so I've obviously never seen her before. I can tell you, though, that this is nice! ^^

You did a good job drawing attention to her eyes, and you did a good job with not drawing attention to her nose and teeth, which can be really hard to do. Also, if you covered up her mouth, you could still tell that she's smiling from her eyes, so you did a very good job with her expression. Nice shading, too.

Keep up the good work, nice job!

Hey there, Shep!

Like Kaedee said, it's really hard to critique the subject of your drawing, since I've never met or seen her. xD.

The shading does seem patchy, but as you mentioned, it's probably due to bad lighting.

I love how you did they eyes; they're so real-looking, and that is great factor to have in a picture!

Nice work.

This is lovely Mizz, great work!

I like the eyes on your drawing as they look like they could tell a story. I'm sure your 'little' cousin will love her present ^.^

Keep up the hardwork

Lovely job!

That's an understatement. This is bloody brilliant.

I can't find anything to critique to be honest.Smart move to not use the flash. I would love a picture of this taken in the daytime, though. perhaps then I could find a few very minor nitpicks.
I'm sure your cousin will be thrilled. Keep up the *fantabulous* work!
