Is there a place you visit often when you daydream? I think this is one of mine.

Woah, this looks amazing!

Woah, this looks amazing! Bluebells are wonderful, do you get them over there too?
I love how textured your painting is! I can imagine a pleasent warm day to this. ^^

Fantastic anatomy, and I admire your understanding to light whilst at the same time not making the picture too smooth. It makes things stand out. Smiling

As marvellous as ever, Ephra. <3 And just a small update, I'll have your fan-theme ready soon! I have to do some assignment work this week so I haven't been able to get round to doing it. With any luck you'll see it by the end of this week. Eye

Oh beautiful. For me it

Oh beautiful. For me it would be a place much like this, which was a photo I took in Llano, TX last year. I felt very enchanted by the area. I also would love to see old ancient ruins, they seem very beautiful to me when surrounded by overgrowth.

Vee - No bluebells where I

Vee - No bluebells where I live ): But they sure are beautiful when they cover the forest floor like that. Glad the texture works too, I wanted to create a space full of life and movement. Trying to get the impression of fluttering leaves and that sort of thing.

Verdy - Don't overburden yourself, eh Smiling I can't wait to hear it though.

Quad - I have an urge to hop from rock to rock.. It's so flat where I live that the smallest change in elevation is exciting lol

The rest - Thanks a lot! My deer's migrated back to her summer home here, so we'll see each other around. Of course she's just been sleeping so far while I was drawing, but I'm sure we'll be doing some proper frolicking soon.

It all has a lovely, soft, rich feel. I admire your use of color and value to include so much detail.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

This is simply gorgeous Ephra

This is simply gorgeous Ephra (: I love the detail on her head and her coat... she looks like she feels like a deer... you know, rough and almost prickly.

Your art always leaves me

Your art always leaves me speechless.
Stunning. Truly stunning.
I love how easily you pulled off the foreshortening of her body. It's flawless!
I also adore the very collective color palette you used. 21 fits right in! The branches of the trees in the background are also gorgeously done. :] The small birds in the trees are also a lovely touch! Details like that are always fun to look for!
You never cease to amaze, that's for sure~ <3
Excellent work as always!

Sorry to bump my own stuff

Sorry to bump my own stuff again to respond!

zm123 - You're welcome to tell about it if you like. I have a thing for dreamy idyllic places and I'd love to hear what sort of worlds other people retreat to Laughing out loud

Dag - I feel kinda dumb for taking so long to realize that deer have coarse multicoloured hair , I don't know why that detail never stuck with me before Sticking out tongue At least she looks more like a wild animal now and not so smooth and groomed.

Shimmy - The foreshortening was a pain really. I haven't had much practice with frontal views, but it was a nice challenge. And yea I was being serenaded by treefulls of birds while I was drawing, so I figured I ought to include them too. I was going to stick in more critters but it was late- I like the idea of having the setting occupied by others besides the main figure though, it's something I've noticed I've been overlooking. I get stuck thinking 'background' but it's more than that. Something I'll hopefully improve with practice..

Thanks to all of you who commented or just had a look, and enjoy your spring! It's pretty much my favourite season.
