Maybe it is the hue for you. I also like the idea of a black background or possibly a dark gray. The idea of using a print to try out different ideas is a great one.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995976784483093896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012349520062636333.post-35945877165933965642011-03-01T08:25:01.932-08:002011-03-01T08:25:01.932-08:00Thanks Heather - I think she does need a bit of a ...Thanks Heather - I think she does need a bit of a rest :-)<br />And thank you too for such a great friendship!

I was about to give up on this one, but now I have tons of ideas to go ahead with, so I am going to let her rest for a bit, and then give her another go.<br />Lisa, thanks for the idea about the arm - you are exactly right! Jennifer, I wish I knew how to manipulate colors and their intensity - but I dont currently do anything digitally aside from scanning my work! I need to change that!<br />Eva, I will have to check out her eyes - I am thinking they are too large, but I will look at their symmetry as well. Thank you.<br />Rebecca and Diane - you are both such great cheerleaders and I so appreciate your thoughts and positive comments!<br /><br />Thank you everyone so much - we'll see where this wild lady takes me!<br /><br />SmilesJulia Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12962789783040804769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012349520062636333.post-29002700276191802202011-03-01T08:20:02.624-08:002011-03-01T08:20:02.624-08:00I agree with Ces, Julia, she is free and beautiful...I agree with Ces, Julia, she is free and beautiful....let her be. I actually love the hair blowing that way.....we all have those days where we don't like something....put her on the side for a bit and come back, and she'll probably tell you what she needs. All of these girls here on the side bar Julia, look amazing!!!!!!! hope you are enjoying your day.<br />thanks for your continued friendship and supportive comments, too!

I don't think the problem is with the colors themselves but with their level of intensity. They are all the same. Compositionally it is very powerful, as always and I love the movement you generate in the hair.Jenn Bowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641483659758406883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012349520062636333.post-75384358773329964182011-03-01T05:31:52.074-08:002011-03-01T05:31:52.074-08:00I think she's beautiful!

But I only get that feeling some of the time I look at her. All of the time, I think she is another wonderful creation!EVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325054853569129751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012349520062636333.post-52695727813023816312011-03-01T05:20:32.861-08:002011-03-01T05:20:32.861-08:00OMG--she's awesome--That hair is wild--I love ...OMG--she's awesome--That hair is wild--I love it!!

If you're not sure, put her aside for a day or so then come back to her and see what she says to you! It's good to scan her in at this stage too (like you've obviously done), then if you don't like what you do, you can always start again with a printed version!<br />Also, I think her left shoulder is not quite where it should be, so her arm is 'out' and too short. I think it needs to come more to the left so the elbow is touching the bit of hair with the green background and pattern. Do you see what I mean?<br />Hope this helps! I think once you move lengthen her arm she'll be just perfect! The way you have drawn her, it should be an easy fix.WrightStuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684505907887354154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012349520062636333.post-58076264474179347982011-02-28T20:23:42.821-08:002011-02-28T20:23:42.821-08:00Yeah!

Well, I have to tell you, she is one exciting woman! Look at her hair! She is wild and free. Let her be, Julia dear. Let her be. She looks fantastic. Let her be the unrestrained, wild, passionate and not afraid to be herself kind of woman. She does not give a damn! Make her background all black with specs of white! She is beautiful!Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.com
