Lavender Entity

Hey, sorry it took me so long - longer than expected to be honest - and I hope you aren't too mad at me. It's always difficult for me to write a critique in the sense that I need to both see and feel the atmosphere of an artwork and I'm not too trusty in my own critiquing skills yet.

First off, I like how the waterfall of light in the background highlights the woman in the front. It also gives your artwork an ethereal feeling, as if the woman is standing in a cathedral of nature. And I think her dress reflects that because she visibly made an effort to dress nicely and the colours of her dress fit nicely to both the field of lavender she's standing in and the waterfall of light in the background. At first glance she seems to be in thought, but upon a closer look her completely white eyes become apparent. She might not be as human as she first appears or she's a sorceress of some kind - I don't know for sure but I find it intriguing to speculate.

Her upper lip is as fleshy as her lower lip under her nose, but towards the corners of her mouth her upper lip becomes too small. I don't know whether it's intentional. If it isn't, then maybe this tutorial might help you: Lips Tut

I also like her hair, it's pretty realistic in its waviness. However, even though most of her hair is on the left side of her face (when looking at her) and given the waviness of her hair in general, the hair on the right side of her head is too flat. Yes it seems like she tugged a strand behind her ear, but the part that lies against her forehead is a bit too thin-looking. Maybe this tutorial helps although the angle isn't the same, but I hope it shows you what I mean: Curvy Hair Tutorial Step by Step

All in all I really like your artwork! It has a wonderfully ethereal atmosphere and the different points of focus (the woman in the front, the lavender flowers right at the hem of her dress and the waterfall of light in the background and the lavender flowers right in the front that are out of focus) make it a bit more realistic, yet with no consequences for the atmosphere.

I hope this helps
