It's been a long time since I've done any traditional art. I'm unhappy with the outcome, but this is why we practice.... and next time, I'll do more planning beforehand.
Doin' some concepts for Kaye as a magical girl, which also doubles as fun antihero writing.
Part of it is computer editing - levels, a few basic filters, color levels, etc that I feel enhance the painting itself that I could not do with paint.
I feel as if the piece lacks something - anatomy/pose is off, background is not thought out and distracts from the main focus. I hate the arms, they feel unnatural.
It's lots of little bits and pieces that you pick out after staring at something for hours and only after you see the piece as a whole.

Why are you unhappy with the outcome? It looks gorgeous!
