greyish

there's grad tool in Shi Painter Pro. using it on eyelashes carefully (small brush size, low transparency) may turn them look more real without redrawing them completely. same to the eye outline. since the drawing looks so good i think it's worth a try

greyish

i see. too bad then.
i don't think this piece needs any more improving besides the eyes. maybe nostrils aren't visible enough? the drawing itself is pretty amazing actually :)

thanks! ^^

ah i'm sorry i should have let you do this yourself.

it's not level2 work, mainly because of the complete lack of background, several anatomical mistakes and a scribbly lineart.
level2 is an intermediate board, and works uploaded there need to be done carefully and have only minor imperfections. sometimes we allow sketchy-artsy stuff here, but only when the composition and colour choices are really good, and the sketchy look is intentional and well executed.

hmmm, i'm sorry, my comment was kinda rushed, i sometimes forget that an artist usually needs more information. I apologize.
First of all- i really appreciate your will to improve. really. not many artists in here do that, some would even rather argue with mods than try to correct their mistakes.

Tira is a "practice" board, which means it's good for training, because there are no requirements about the quality of works posted there. some artists prefer to keep their stuff on tira board because it's safe, not because they think their work is not good enough.

I can see that you edited your work, cleaned up the lineart and added some colour to the background. but it doesn't really change the impression that the work was rushed. if you're aiming at a sketchy-artsy look, you should work on stronger, dynamic brushstrokes and interesting composition. now the whole thing looks a bit blurry, and composition is a bit too boring to attract the viewer. compare it to other works on this board - usually they are a lot more detailed and dynamic.
try finding some tutorials and tips on composition and colour theory. (yes, again, because contrast and variety in hues are one of the things that make a portrait interesting and realistic. (realistic=/= like a photo, realistic = believable and creating an illusion of life).
also - practice drawing hands. bone structure is very important, especially if you're drawing slim hands. overall anatomy studies are recommended too. try adding more detail to the bodies and control the way shades and highlights are distributed - it creates the illusion of volume.

these are rather tips for future, but if you REALLY want to make this one picture better, we can work on it, i can make you some paintovers to show the anatomical and shading mistakes. but this will require a lot more of of work and patience.

note that moderators can ONLY drop pictures down in kaera|inne -> level2 -> tira schema - we never put pics higher.
if author consider his work as level2 i wont put that pic higher - it depends only on author, same about tira..

knowing this hint you should understand.. :)

thank you for your comment - ill try to make some improvements in droping system - i dont want to leave users disoriented :)
