Forgive me for my "non-fluent" english.

This drawing has no meaning at all
Pattern on the right is created by me inspired from traditionnal japanese pattern.

I'm very sorry, for the quality I've tried to edit this photoshop but I prefer the colors on the original.

Critique by ~Kinpouju Aug 12, 2011, 9:24:47 AM
All together you have worked out an image that it delicate and pleasing to the eye as many of your other works. The soft colours and fading patterns in the background are remarkable.
I also enjoy the composition how the ribbon is pulling the viewer to the figure, the paper cranes gliding towards her.
Though the painting looks highly unfinished. I know you where trying to leave the feet and hands white but I feel that it didn't pull together so well. It just made it look unfinished. I think if you added some little detail or a glowing affect it will look more deliberate. Also, the overall tonal value of the work is very weak. I would suggest to darken it up underneath the thighs, in between the elbows... (I'm not really sure where your source of light is).
Overall the painting gives a sweet and beautiful trait, but needs work mainly in lighting and attention to detail. Still enjoyable to look at!
What do you think?
