Art My First Painting: Comments & Advice Appreciated

[Deedlit]

[color=009966]A while ago I was flipping through my notebook of old sketches from anime shows and such, and I found a pic I drew of Sakura from Card Captor Sakura. My grandma taught me how to paint, so I really wanted to practice to improve my technique. This is the finished product.

I painted it on an 8x10 canvas with acrylic paints, and since it was so small it took about 6 hours. I know it's not that great at all, but it's my first painting so of course it has its flaws. The colors might also seem a bit off as well, but the flash on the camera was too bright so I had to dim it a bit. Anyway, this is it. ^___^[/color]

I never was good at painting ='( *goes to cry in a corner*

Ehm yesh ehm... Very nice. The shading is very good and i especially like it on the wings. Something that reach far beyond my possibilities so now im going to kill you...

[color=009966]Thanks. ^__^ I used a fan brush for the shading and effects on the wings. It took me a few tries to get it right though, so I had to keep painting over it. They were annoying. --;
