Description

Watercolor pencil on paper
Inspired by "Moulin Rouge"
Yes, she is deliberately super scrawny.
probably cropped it a little too tightly - still deciding whether I like it... Feedback greatly appreciated

LOVE MOULIN ROUGE!

haha now that that's out of the way, I really like the composition of the piece and the colours you have chosen. Taking her off center keeps it interesting and the greens and blues of the background contrast with the pink/red of her dress beautifully yet without distracting the eyes to anywhere in particular, very skillful choice of colours! The legs and body in general are done very well, although I don't think her chest should be facing right if her legs are more towards the left but meh Shrug . The only thing that bugs me is the structure of her face, the expression seems a bit lifeless (maybe work with the eyes and eyebrows a little? they add a ton of expression to the face) and her cheek bones are drawn very dark and protrude too much. Maybe next time use a darker skin colour to define them with shading instead. Otherwise this is very well done, great job!
