Broken Innocence - Letter 4 - KenyaFlame,
I can't wait, I'll meet you in the computer lab!
~Kenya

Broken Innocence - Letter 3 - KenyaDear Flame,
Wow, you really are a lot older than me. I'm - wow maybe this is a bad idea, I really don't want to get you in trouble because I'm interested in you. Like I said though, I think I do have a crush on you, you're so sweet and caring.
Five year's age difference. At least you're the younger brother, it's really difficult for the older children to deal with that kind of age difference. I hope you were nice to your brother, I know my younger sisters a total brats to me. I don't know if Alisa told you or not, but we're a family of seven. Alisa and I are the oldest, then there's a five year gap, and then five siblings. There are the triplets who are turning seven, then the other younger sister is nine.
My parents tried to teach me that you had to marry someone to have children first. They're trying to set me up with an Asian girl in my class. I've heard marriage discussed with her parents a few times, but we both have other interests.

Broken Innocence - Letter 2 - KenyaDear Flame,
Wow, a surrogate, that's honorable. I'm really glad that you came to the party, we should hang out sometime. We have to be careful of my sister though. I don't know how she'll feel about us hanging out together. She has a crush on you too. I know Alisa is going to be really mad at me for telling, but I just don't want to have to compete with her for your attention when we hang out.
I'm only two years younger, well three until next month. You're seventeen right? I'm going to be fifteen in exactly 27 days. I must sound like the dork now, only having my first kiss because I walked into the room when you were playing spin the bottle. I still can't believe it landed between those two girls and pointed right at me.
How old is your brother? I'm also a little confused as to why they're just dating. Don't they want to be married before they have children? I'm sorry if I'm imposing, you really don't have to answer my questions.

Broken Innocence - Letter 1 - KenyaDear Flame,
I don't know if you remember me from the party last night, but I was the boy you kissed. I know it must've been awkward for you since I'm so much younger. I was only there because my sister was the one throwing the party. I'm taking a big leap of faith here by writing this letter to you since I know you could completely ruin my life by posting this letter up around school.
Um, well, I guess I should let you know that I got your locker number from my sister, she said her locker is right next to yours. (I don't want you to freak out and think I'm stalking you, really, I don't want to upset you at all.)
I just wanted to talk to you about the kiss we shared last night. It left me questioning. Your kiss was my first, and it seemed so passionate. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel now because we're both boys, and I've never felt like this before about anyone. Part of me wonders if this feeling is going to go away, or if it's goin

When you look at this... how does it make you feel?

Critique by ~Fickta May 14, 2012, 9:47:43 AM

Hi! I'm critiquing this one out of the bunch on of your forum because figure and traditional medium is where I have more experience.

Ok firstly, I'm rating this really high because the drawing from inside the keywhole is really stunning. I love the use of color and the contrast of black and the way the firgure seems to be pressing into the background, like it's almost engulfing her. Her neck line is beautiful, as is the pose and how the modeling (shading) was executed. It's a very free composition with a lot of effective line.

Crit wise- they keywhole is where the work falls apart. First, it's the beginning of blending traditional and digital, which is great! but the harsh and flat black takes away from the depth of the figure. The idea is brilliant, mind you. I'm in love with the keywhole idea.
The second problem is the color of the keywhole or door, and it's shape. Normally a keywhole is shaped differently and is not an oval on a diagonal. Also the black ground takes away from the depth of the whole itself, making the figure look closer than the whole we're looking through.
When we look through a keywhole our eyes expect to see wood work, or a gold plate around the whole, we expect the room beyong the keywhole to be far away, and perhaps fasded a bit by the tiny area we have to view.

Other than that, your drawing is very beautiful. I think this is the start of an idea that needs to be devloped more and more until it's brought completely to life.
Also- keep figure drawing- you're very wonderful at it!

I wish I have a good hand on your nude painting/ sketches. I suck at human anatomy proportions >.< Cool techniques.

Mysterious and lovely portrayal of woman's natural beauty!

=SolarLunix Apr 14, 2013 General Artist

I love and loved that class!

It's like looking through a keyhole and see a fragment of what is going on in the room.

=SolarLunix Nov 23, 2011 General Artist

It's actually part of a small Keyhole series I did... ^_^ I hope you liked it.

The colors and the shadow values work quite well. But the darker parts beneath her breasts and on her belly woukld need some rework, they're to different.

You'll have to improve your anatomy an proportions, but you're on a good way.

=SolarLunix Nov 3, 2011 General Artist

I was trying to go for a lighting at the top kinda thing, but I understand, I just don't know how I could possibly edit it at this point, I have no more materials to work with to improve it sadly

~aeiharuko888 Oct 16, 2011

she looks natura, and i think the red and black contrast well with the white

=SolarLunix Oct 16, 2011 General Artist

Yeah, this was my best peice in my beginning drawing class. For a beginning drawing class... we ended up with a nude model after the first two weeks. I really enjoyed this one too, I love the contrast too!

~aeiharuko888 Oct 16, 2011

i can tell, it looks amazing ( not being perverted, god i hate having to make that distinction, sometimes i hate my gender screwing up things) the contrats is to me what makes it, along with capturing what she looked like

=SolarLunix Nov 19, 2011 General Artist

It's fine, I know you're not perverted :3 and thank you sooo much :3
