She's ripping wings off of butterfliesby ~heyydaydreamer

Digital Art / Drawings / People

"She livesin a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies."

Brick By Boring Brick lyrics - Paramore

I'd like to start off by saying that I love how you used Paramore's song 'Brick by Boring Brick' as a comparison for this drawing. I think that it conveys one of the main scenes in the song well.

Now, while I found the song choice good, that's not what this critique is about so I'll get on with it.

The highlights in her hair and the butterflies are very well done, as are the leaves. However, I find that the shading is a little under done. Her arm is shaded beautifully but her face doesn't have quite enough shading to it. Her nose needs to flow into its shape instead of having the bridge be straight and then the tip of the nose. Her lips need more texture to it as well since lips' skin is lined.

I find that though this is a pretty picture, it's not realistic enough. It doesn't have enough detail to it. For example, no one in real life would have eyes so perfect and the eyebrows need to have individual hairs.

When I took a look at the reference you used for this drawing, I was shocked. It did not look at all like the reference. The girl in the reference is more pale with freckles, blond hair, different eyebrows and no make up.

The originality of this picture id definitely the drawing's string point; I like that this isn't something I have seen very often.

All in all, it could use some work and did not remind me of the reference but it is definitely a pretty picture and I like the use of colors.

What do you think?

Amazing work. Looking at this and comparing it to the reference I have to say very nicely done. The lines and the color are very nice. You have done a wonderful job and I just love everything about this. Now on to the one thing I found to look a little off in the picture.

I don't really like the ivy that is in her her. It doesn't really look as smooth and seems to be coming from her head not sitting on top of her hair.

Overall it is very well done and I love everything else in the picture.
