Kitana · 27-06-2011, 07:48 AM

And I just love the trees in the riding children

aby arty · 28-06-2011, 10:04 AM

everything is so beautiful.
kitana how to do those design on trees?

Kitana · 28-06-2011, 04:35 PM

The trees are nothing special I draw all the lines with soft brush on big resolution. If you want I can post a small close up piece to see better.

My nine years old niece loved all of them. I think you should start illustrate books for children. At least the little girls will go crazy over them.

Kitana · 29-06-2011, 04:57 AM

I'm still waiting for this opportunity Avi

I will be very happy if someone hire me for children books illustrator but I suppose it is a matter of time.
Thank you.

Maybe you shouldn't wait for somebody. Looks like you have your own stories to express, maybe you should give it a try and make up a story and illustrate it

Kitana · 29-06-2011, 11:45 AM

Well I have indeed 2 fairy-tales written (the one is not finished) but I must use some great portions of inspiration and quit mind to write another. When i collect more I plan to illustrate them and print 1-2 copies

washka · 29-06-2011, 12:19 PM

Nice work on those last three, agree about Avatar's comm', those would really fit for children image/tale books, keep on this way.
Your color approach is getting better, you could try to play with some intermediate grey or white ones (onto the colors) (saturate/unsaturate), and colored lightning (as on the last pinkish clouds).
For last one, try to integrate a bit more the princess on the cloud. Like the trees too, and background/details work of the first one.

I think you could try to publish more than one or two copies Kitana. Here, check this out: http://www.lulu.com/
Its a "do it yourself" online publishing house and I have seen books published by them. Very nice paper and quality printing. So if you ever decide to publish, maybe try this approach.

Kitana · 30-06-2011, 12:27 PM

Wow so they publish your books free

And give 1 copy - what a pleasant surprise. But the book must be in english I suppose.

And thank you washka. I must continue working on my coloring.

Avatar-3DT · 30-06-2011, 09:42 PM

Well, its not free but its a good way to start your business in children's book business with just a bit of investment and a lot of trust in yourself

Kitana · 05-07-2011, 04:07 PM

Thank you Avi. I will keep this in mind. Would you take a look in this practice because it is hard for me to draw metal surfaces. Any comments?

Avatar-3DT · 06-07-2011, 06:00 AM

This is a good base but you need to build upon it more. Don't be afraid to crack up the shadows more. Also, add some colored reflection or, if you want to keep it grayscale, bolder highlights. Here, its not the same but maybe this will help you: http://mateslaurentiu.deviantart.com...-ups-216459365
Its a close up to Illumina's jewelery (click "download" for the biggest version available).

Kitana · 08-07-2011, 07:00 AM

This close up is great

Thank you.
