Artist's Comments

Poor Bianca noticed one day that her special fitted jeans weren't quite making it over the hips. She has a tough enough time going to school with the young college kids staring at her. Now, she finally decides it's time to see how much heavier her back seat is, since she knows the weight didn't go anywhere else.

Artist's Note: Wow, I am very happy with the new tablet! I am able to do so many more things at a faster pace. I really hope you like this one as I put alot of effort into it. Not to mention I did it in half the time that some of more elaborate pictures take. I hope to continue work like this and progress much more as an artist. And if your wondering, Bianca will be a recurring character from now on. :D I think this is pretty much her set in stone design. Well, MOST of her is set in stone anyway...

Critiques


:iconjeagerjack:
There's so much to say about this pic that I know I'm going to forget to mention something, but I'll try to cover the main points of importance. First let me talk about the general idea of this pic and how skillfully you presented it. By putting her entire body in the foreground and making it very small by comparison to the frame, you were able to give us the sense that the results on the scale were making her feel small. And by seeing her from behind it created the POV almost of that of someone sitting with her as she read the results, and the fact that we can't see her face conveys the feeling that she doesn't want to face anyone with the results.

But then you added the close up on her face in the background. The half dense and lightened colors make us think that this is less a close up on her face, and more like a look inside her mind, at how she is feeling about the results on the scale. This is supported by the very slim pale outline around her body, as if it is separating her from the background. And as for the image itself, the expression you gave her was masterfully done. It's a look of disappointment, but not depression, sort of a "sigh... really" look. And these sort of toned down and realistic expressions are far harder to create than the blown out exaggerated expressions. And it's by adding this background image that you achieve two goals. One, you came up with an original way to address the whole "big woman on a scale" approach. Normally it's a concept that's been done to death, but with this background foreground, inner thoughts outer body, contrast, you came up with a unique new approach to it. And secondly, normally when you have a single figure in a pic, there is tons of blank space that harms the overall image, but here you truly created an active background without weakening the foreground.

The other thing that truly impressed me with this picture were all the little details. The shine and light reflection over her body was dim enough to be realistic and not bright enough to distract us from the figure itself. The background color compliments her hair and skin tone perfectly. And my biggest compliment has to go to the angle of her body. The way that you have angled her feet, the scale, and her hips all form a triangle that points directly towards the background. As if subconsciously trying to draw our attention to her inner emotion.

I really have nothing bad to say about this, no matter how hard I look I can't find a fault. Once again you have proven yourself to be a true artist.

This pic came out fantastic. Your use of space, her body in contrast to her face, the complimentary colors. Everything about this just works exactly the way it should. I'll write a critique to go into more detail later, but for now, just know I'm going to give it five starts :D
