Description

okay, i started this with no intention of it being for the 100 Themes Challenge, but then i looked to see if it fit any of them..

it could fit dark, sunset, and solitude. some more than others. i already did dark, but i didnt like it that much.. so i thought about updating it with this. but its not really themed dark. its more about the sunset. so then i saw sunset. *kept it in mind* and then solitude. yes, shes by herself, but her expression doesnt really give off the feel that i see as solitude. when i think that, i think alone, and like.. sad or abandonded. so i chose sunset.

i spent a lot of time on this. i started it yesterday, and only had my eyes set on miyumi--another random practice-- but then i was sitting in my sunrrom, and the sunsets behind the trees on the side of my house, and when you look at them, theres the lighter green colored leaves, bc the light hits them, and then in front of them, theres the darker ones. i really like that and wanted to try it. so i kinda went out of my comfort zone with foliage. oh how i hate foliage. but i gotta say, it doesnt look half bad.

then i did the grass.. must have taken a couple hourse on its own >.>

then i shaded it, with the little more bits of advice on how to make shadows darker. it looks really good i think. i ventured far with this one, i tried a group of things that im really not good at,(the brush tool on sai, foliage, dark shadows) or dont like,(foliage, grass) and i feel that ive succeded. please tell me what you think?

Wow! This is awesome! Very, very nice job on the shading and coloring, it's one of the best I've seen so far! The mood fits in just right, with the background being.... I don't know, but the fact that the dog (right?) is by itself, just sitting in the grass, fits with your intention of solititude. I also like the design on the dog, as there are some green spots around brown, which actually look pretty cool! The only thing you could change is how the sun looks... the rays coming off of it are a little too thick, kinda, which are abstract. It doesn't really matter though, because very nice job on this!
