Swamp butterflies by Serio555

been working on this one on and off for the past couple of weeks, and kept it simple (hence the.... minimalistic clothing) as I was mainly trying to practice my basic brushworks.

Corel Painter X (girl), Photoshop (bg), photo ref used.

Swamp butterflies by ~Serio555 "I've been a watcher of his for quite some time and the progress he has made over the years has been nothing short of outstanding. This piece of art in particular highlights his fantastic progress, the great scenery, colouring and the overall feel of the image really creates a warm feeling and almost makes you want to reach out and touch it" ( Suggested by coolmarvin and Featured by WDWParksGal )

The butterflies are appropriately evanescent. The young lady is a quietly beautiful woman. There are lots of nice details throughout the pic. Good job!

Her left arm looks slightly too skinny other than that. fantastic job

Treasures-Of-Wisdom Featured By Owner Nov 20, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

This is very well done. The lighting is excellent.

AlohaSiempre Featured By Owner Nov 20, 2011

wonderful work and about her face.. omg lovely, reduce the size of the right hand maybe and add a bit of padding to the left arm both seem out of proportion to the body but this is a hell of a lot better then I could do so what do I know..

Serio555 Featured By Owner Nov 21, 2011

Thanks for the crit, I agree with you on that, I'm still learning to vary body proportion to get something between realism and anime but I'm nowhere near achieving what I want with this

AlohaSiempre Featured By Owner Nov 21, 2011

well I think it is very lovely as is and your far beyond me.. lol [remembers headaches from stick people].. only people in MY art will be from photos.. hehehe

sarashy Featured By Owner Nov 20, 2011 Student Artist

your really good!! Seriusly you are!!!!!

AndytheLemon Featured By Owner Nov 20, 2011

This is really lovely - congrats on the DD! I love the colours you used here and the fantasy feel, and also the folds in the clothes are really well done, so congrats on that

I think there should be some more shading around the face - her hair should cast shadows but there don't seem to be any. Just a little thing I noticed.

Anyway keep it up!"

Serio555 Featured By Owner Nov 21, 2011

Thanks for the tip, I can see your point on the shadow there as my lighting direction is rather inconsistent here

AndytheLemon Featured By Owner Nov 21, 2011

No prob

soo pretty~

jmarchitto Featured By Owner Nov 20, 2011

grats on the DD! This has a very ethereal and serene quality to it which I like. However I agree with what some others have said about the right hand being big. To be honest this looks unfinished.

Serio555 Featured By Owner Nov 21, 2011

Thanks, and I agree with you, as I'm still trying to come to grips with styles, especially this past couple of years where I've started liking classical art, so my technique and style is still very lacking, much like this picture.
