Pretty self-explanatory, though angels are a fairly atypical motive for me. I wanted to draw a character with a fuller figure, and this is what came out of it.

Sweet! An angel! ^__~ I like it, nice wings!
~Lisen~

:-) Helle Jorgensen replies: "Thanks. What a a faithful visitor you are!"

I like this character! Her face expression and everything – no complains about that.
My only suggestion is to improve the wings. Well-detailed feathers can fill this picture with life.

:-) Helle Jorgensen replies: "Thanks! Concerning this one I am in fact aware of the weak points. You know, wings always have been a bit of a sore point in my drawing skills. (This piece could have done with a more interesting background, too.) Then, I suppose practice makes perfect, and so forth. So now I just need the determination to *take* time to practice (that's hard - I'm actually a bit of a workaholic, and consequently don't get enough drawing done, even though I *could*. Drawing would be such a perfect form of procrastination - or relaxation, depending on the point of view. Oh, I definetely have a problem with my work ethic here! Gahh!"

Beautiful! Picture has real movement! I like it.

:-) Helle Jorgensen replies: "Aww, the praise is by all means higher than the picture really deserves, but of course I am flattered by your good opinion. Thanks for taking your time to leave so many comments."

Very pretty, love the hands.

:-) Helle Jorgensen replies: "Really? - The hands? I wasn't completely happy with them myself, so I'm glad to get a positive comment on them 12"
27 May 2008:-) Kelsey M. Graham
I agree with Charlotte, you did really well on the hands. The prickly power glow thing around her is cool, too.

:-) Helle Jorgensen replies: "Thanks! This picture is getting pretty old ... I’m glad that it still finds favour 12."

I love the folds in her dress, and the hands look great.

:-) Helle Jorgensen replies: "Thank you 1. - And welcome to Elfwood, I see that you are new here! Will you create your own gallery, too? "

beautiful - i love the shading around her stomach, where the dress contours around it - perfectly done!! 1

:-) Helle Jorgensen replies: "Thanks! Really I should work more with shading though. I depict volume resonably well, but I would like to have a better grasp of how light and shade falls, depending on the source of the light."
