i fixed the colors and her face. im learning so much about colors!

im not extremely happy with this, it looks really clip arty. i just threw on some colors so ill go back in to blend later. im going to be honest, i didnt like painting without lines. i looove lines. but i am happy that skipping the linework gave me more time to color, and i learned quite a bit about color theory. i still have SOOO much to learn and this might be one of the most frustrating projects ive ever done. but i love tackling uncharted waters and bettering my skills in areas im uncomfortable in. i want to pull back the boldness of some of the colors and make it more neutralized so the highlights really pop. i must have gone through a few color schemes until this one, and i really hate picking colors. i cant wait until i have the ability to know which color will look good. until then im stuck in the color picker for most of the time :I Also im going to add texture to the finished product so it doesnt look so bold. so ive got a long way to go but hopefully ill be better for it in the end. :) for process, i was thinking really warm colors. i wanted to reflect her personality through the colors, bot thats what the drawing is for. the colors are for surroundings. I dont like the color scheme in this. Mr. Keaney had a good point of saying "reflect the environment in the color" so im going to make it more like shes outside and in the woods but still keeping a warmness to her. So im totally going to scrap this paint job :) also her left eye in relation to her jaw is a little jacked up so ill fix that. im going to finish inking and then do the details. (the details are my favorite part!!! :) also im going to color the lines so they arent all one color :)
