Radha – WIP

by Alex Ledante March 29, 2019, 11:50 pm 306 Views 13 Votes 35 Comments

Right now it is only partially inspired by the myth of Radha and Krishna, but someday I might do a piece more closely related to their romance. For now she’s just another girl going to the well for water…

#1 raw

it is a solid beginning, but it does't say desert to me

Nice work but her left arm is too thin to be real

  I can assure you that arm is anatomically correct

  saturation has to do with the intensity or purity of the color

#2 vignette

this is just more interesting in a visual sense

This image I like. These pastel and earthy colors are beautiful, and the blue stein provides excellent contrast to the whole composition. The eyes are not seen, giving a single dose of mystery, but you can see that the girl is beautiful.

The grunge look gives the character more light for me to see her better.
