Artist's Comments

FULL-VIEW PLEASE

i havent submitted in a while...^^; oopsies...hehe i was being lazy..XD

anyways this was inspired by the song 雨天- 孙燕姿

it was quite random...i was just listening to in in bed the other day and this picture came vividly in my head..O__o well exept she was standing on a bridge and it was raining...^^; coz im too impatient and lazy i didnt draw the bridge...

the woman in the picture is a Chinese lady and she is from the Qing dynasty period in China (清朝;) roughly in the 1600s,and her clothes are from that period as well...she is supposed to be a 格格 ( princess?...im not sure..O__o) anyways her clothes took me sooo long to draw and i had to do some research too ^^ anyways i tried my best to make the clothes more..chinesy?.^^; and more you know..classic..but i dont know if i succeeded.////XD

anyways i worked hard (lazily) on this!! :D :D :D comments are welcome! :hug: :heart: :blowkiss:

PWETTTYYY :wow: such beautiful detail XD
where did you get the reference? 0_o i never could find anything on olden chinese dresses before XD
are you ever gonna colour this? the bg makes a nice old look and the lighter part on top looks like light coming down, its really nice =D
Did you write the 雨 chara?? :thumbsup: for the smudging on the the rain character!! XD

Wow!! This is definately your best piece yet, Zina! :D

It really does look like an authentic Chinese work of art from centuries ago. I think you are better than me at lineart now.... I don't think I could put so much detail into my linearts with my present skill. You've put so many well-placed folds into the dress... and managed to blend in the pattern so well with all the creases :nod: Maybe I just need to practice clothes more? ^^;

And you used a gradient! :XD: It works on so many levels on this piece -- As Cisiko points out, it acts as the sky, and gives a nice old look, and also the lightness encourages the viewer to focus on her face. :boogie:
