Hello, GC! I'm here fromIn advance, I'm sorry for my english, as it sometimes fails me- The energy in this is amazing! Vibrant and happy, a job very well done! I guarantee there's a lot of emotion coping from the character, the choosen colors and the pose too. Such a picture to look at and feel instantly better!Her hair is pretty. The lights look spot on and the patience you had to create the separe hair strands texture is amazing - and had a fine result. The clothing folds follow the movement realistically, and for the most part, she really stands out against the background.Your signature is well placed, doesn't deviate the gaze from the drawing and it's very readable, which is so important, because you both protect and don't hurt your work visually. (I often forget to signThe shading and lighting is subtle and nice, making the whole result have enough volume so it feels finalized, but doesn't weight the picture.- I'll start by explaining why I said Mira stands out from the background "for the most part". That is mostly due to the strawberries too close to her hair. With so many details going on on the background, Mira - the picture focus -that's to say, she can't be cramed between background elements. The strawberries are what most gets in the way because their color is so similar to her hair.That said, the background. While it's really upbeat and the colors don't clash, it feels cramed. There is a lot of elements to process and that takes the attention away from Mira, so no matter how much energy she gives out, she is not the visual center of the picture.The bend backwards leg need a bit more of shading so we can see it's behind her body better, just to add to the illusionGeneral Tips!- For making the background less visibily valuable than Mira, just toy around a bit with saturation values at first. Try using colors a bit less bright, or if bright, complementary colors for example, will help the general energy and make her stand out more.What are those?Notice you use pinks and purples for the hops, against Mira's blue uniform. See this color wheel? The blues, purples and pinks are the same side of it, and progress from each other, so they are adjacent colors. Those work together and create nice, subtle transitions, they'renot meant for a big contrast.Now, see colors like the reds, directly across from greens? Those are complimentary colors, they'reVisually, that means they create huge visual contrasts, and can be used to define a focal point in pictures, or just create more energy.Also, remove the uncessary elementes closer to her, like the two strawberries attached to her hair.- Lazy Tips! (Our favorite!) - Just create an outline for contrast.notice how Carmen here stand out from the (okay, plain) background because she has a red outline around here.You can do just that! I think the light sweet colors of this would be maintened if you did a simple white outline, to remove Mira from blending into the background to much.A quick way to do that if you are using Photoshop:Duplicate the line art layer hitting ctrl+J (so you don't lose anything) > erase inner lines so theres only the ouline left > hit the layer two times to open the effects box > select "Stroke" > create a stroke of color, thickness and oppacity of your likingOr, y'know, just trace herThat's all, GC! Keep up your bright, cheerful work, friend!!
