ASHE THINKS YOU SUCK.

It's been too long since I've drawn the lovely Ashe. :lol: In preparation for some ultra-in-depth studying for FFi's Character Study series, I thought drawing her again would be a wise thing to do.

I gave her an interesting expression ( ) to add a little personality to the picture. This is a new style that I'm currently experimenting with, and I can see a few more works done with this technique before I move on to something else. It's great for expressive faces and simple contours, but I found myself having a little trouble when it came to more complex shapes like hands, so admittedly it's a bit messier than I had originally intended. Messy is fun, though, so I may try going in that direction in the future.

I originally had a reference for the overall pose, but deviated from that quickly. The arms and shoulders were done completely from memory, in case they look a little off (my "artist's eye" hasn't worn off yet, so I don't see much wrong with it).

Comments and criticism appreciated!

And if you want to this in better context: propaganda

well its....soooo cooool!!!..its just the facial expression is a little...ok the lips I guess but I'm an artist in basic skills, so its just what I think

 

[Illumina]

Oh you mean the pursed, pouting lips? It's supposed to be like that. she's hiding behind a book for Christ's sakes

Thanks for the comment

 

[Neku99]

oh sorry (25 words)

 

[Vicodin]

Wrong place, this goes in traditional media.

At any rate, coloring is damn gorgeous.

 

[Illumina]

Traditional media? This was all digital, though. I thought that was reserved for stuff like pencil sketches and grand paintings? xD

 

[Vicodin]

No. It's for hand drawn shit, basically. Personally, I think they're named wrong.
Digital Media, imo, should be Graphic Design (it was graphics before, but yeah), and Traditional Media could be changed simply into art. But yeah. If you read the descriptions of the stuff, it should be noticeable, and if you look at what some people post, there's digital stuff in there.

Digital Media is most reserved for like, signatures and videos and stuff.

Anyways yeah, done posting here now. Straying off topic.

 

[Illumina]

Alright, move this if you want I guess

 

[Monkey]

Moved. =)

And that is the hottest picture of Ashe I have ever seen.

 

[Tyler Durden]

[Vayne Mechanics]

As good as this is, you should remove that link you have to the forums :v Advertising forums isn't allowed.

But ya, still pretty awesome though.

 

[Ashley]

I didn't know you where on this forum too :3

As I've said before, I love this piece. The shading is beautiful and her expression is just great. Lovely job!

 

[Illumina]

Oh, you're the same Ashley as on FXN? I never would have guessed

@Elegant Esthetics -- Thanks. And trust me, you'll see more of my work on KHI soon.
@Domon Kasshu -- Link removed.

Thanks for the comments guys.

The facial expression is absolutely amazing! Great work. The colors make my eyes go @_@.
I look forward to more.

 

[Milky]

Do you have a deviantart? i wish to view more of your amazing artwork.

I like your attempt at the colouring style, but un fortunately, it's sloppy and not very well excecuted. The shades are too sharp and don't flow very nicely in some places. Unlike everyone else, i don't like the facial expression, mainly the nose, it's kind of fat. Also, the crease in the skirt bugs me. Other than that, the anatomy is very good and the hair is nicely coloured. Overall a very good peice, much better than most of the stuff you see on this site.

 

[Illumina]

Hrmm, well I admit it's a bit messy. Not very well executed, though--could you elaborate on that a little?

I appreciate the feedback

And my deviantArt is at Gravija-Sunrise on deviantART, though admittedly I don't have much on there at the moment. I don't draw often

 

[Cloud]

When i say it's not well excecuted, don't take offence. When i said that, i was comparing yours to similar peices i've seen in the past, and i've seen better. Again, like i said, it's very good though ^^

 

[Fatal_Blade]

This is amazing, great job with anatomy and the facial expression.

 

[Vayne Mechanics]

I like your attempt at the colouring style, but un fortunately, it's sloppy and not very well excecuted.

But that's the whole damn point of the style >:C Do you not know styles?

Illumina is ****ing good, and that's a painting branch that a lot of people drift towards.

tl;dr lychi on deviantART

@Illumina - On a side note, I'd probably consider this piece to be your best. I looked through your dA gallery, and you have some pretty :awesome: CGing skills, but it clashes horribly with the thick lines you use. As such, I recommend continuing down this "lineless" path.
