Artist's Comments

Moar painting practice. I didn't pay too much attention to the sketch but I really should have, because since I skipped the lineart step, I had to mirror my drawing all the time to fix the mistakes. Bouh.

I like doing fanarts for practice, because that way people are more motivated to comment and give their opinion on the way it's painted :).
But I feel like there was something in the Jasmine painting that I haven't managed to retrieve here or with Belle. Or maybe it's just because with Jasmine it wasn't my lines ? I don't know. But it doesn't hurt to keep practising, I guess.

Totally rushed the bg though D: Don't look at the temple too much >> Maybe I'll fix it when I'm not too lazy. Oh God, that's probably never.

EDIT : This is really annoying, half of you comment to rudely complain. Yes, she does look too caucasian, I fail with skintones, deal with it. No, she does not look like the Mulan in the movie. No, I don't think Chinese people are ugly and I am not racist. My family is partly Chinese. Sheesh.

Remember please, this is MY portrayal, so please refrain from making rude comments like "needs more work" or "failed with the likeness" okay ? Call that artistic freedom or whatever but for the love of God and everything holy, leave me alone. There's nothing more rude than a comment like that when all I wanted was opinion on the COLORING, on which I spent long hours.

Yes, I gave her green eyes. Totally assumed. If you don't like it, just imagine she's wearing special contacts or something.

The bg is absolutely fine and the temple is beautiful. It's not meant to be the focus of the picture anyway.
You've done an excellent job!
:iconeagleblaze954:
I love it :-). If you don't mind me asking, when you paint your pictures do you use a program like Photoshop? Also do you recommend any tutorials?

Keep up the very good work!

Mulan is one of my favorite disney movies ;-).

Eva Mendes, Selena Gomez, Pulse, The Grudge, An American Haunting, & Shutter suck. I will eat anyone who like them!

The colour scheme is magical indeed. The composition itself is not fantastic -- if you'll forgive my brutal honesty -- because well, girl on background watching viewer is nothing unusual. The colour scheme, however, is magic, and that's what makes this piece beautiful. Combining the cobalt belt with those shades of lilac is daring and I am totally going to try it out later myself. ;)

Oh vraiment superbe!
Le seul reproche que j'aurais à faire c'est qu'elle n'a pas vraiment une tête de chinoise (je pense que ça vient du nez et des yeux bleus sans doute), mais sinon pour le reste c'est très beau :heart: et je trouve que le temple est bien fait, même si tu dis que t'as fait le line vite fait.
