Well to start off- I am stunned by work work. It is gorgeous! As this is a critique I shall turn to the details that make this artwork a masterpiece. The color is exquisite. I love how you made her back so warm and tender while everything is cold, it attracts my eye like a moth to a flame. The light is simple and detailed and you captured each shade perfectly, especially how a circle of light forms around her and above her creates this innocent and angelic feel to it. I find it very interesting how you made the brushstrokes differ as you painted her and as you painted, for example the box that she is sitting on. thick and bulky create this realism of hard wood and the fine strokes feels like you are caressing her and portrays her soft and pale skin. Her hair- a hard thing to paint- is done miraculously with the twists and swirls, it all fits together well. Her pose and facial expression i love the most. how you got that look on her without painting to point realism is astounding. For me it seems as though she has this longing and lust inside her but she is very self conscious, and so is only allowing you to get a glimpse of her face and the nervous and slow twirling of her hair. With the faded hand effect it makes it seem as though you can really see her hand moving and twisting. She looks amazing and a bit shy. ^^ <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="26" height="17" alt=":love:" title="Love"/> The effect of the general painting is quite interesting; almost as if one were looking through a foggy glass (like in a bathroom after a shower where her skin is glowing, - to my perspective). Yes, it is a marvelous work amazing job <3
