This is truly creepy! Anatomically, some things feel a little off, like her ankle and the length of her loooong leg, but these are things I rather like about the drawing too. I don't know why her leg would be up like that though. Was she a former dancer?! (j/k!) I love that you decided to give her rosy cheeks and the flowers are a nice touch too. I love her frizzy hair and expression (oh, that saggy eye!)and the delicate way she has her hands folded. I think some of your digital color might muddy up the piece a little...and even makes the drawing look less-complete. It would have been more interesting to see more indication of a background and not just a gradient (some of the graveyard in silhouette, maybe?!) Overall, a fun drawing.
Oh, and I probably should have added that if feels like you thought about the character you were portraying here. There is a sense of saddness and pity in this drawing which elicited more feeling from me, the observer.
First the issues. I am confused as to what is going on in the drawing. She looks so calm and almost sad, yet has decided to do a super kick right out of her grave. I like the super kick, don't get me wrong. But that leg pose doesn't seem to go with the rest of her. And yes, the gradient in the background messes up your scene. I love Paige's suggestion of gravestone silhouettes. Something to give your space some depth.
I would say that your drawing has a whimsical quality to it. The gangly limbs help with that, as does the expression and rosy cheeks. I actually find myself wondering how this lady is feeling... and that is one of the best compliments I can give to any artist.
I wish there was a bit more consistency with the style between the character and the background. the idea is fine, but execution could use some work. -Tracy
I like the concept in this drawing...I think I lose it with the colors and execution of the technique. Since the subject seems to be saddened, maybe the use of dark blues and purples would help bring a slight touch of color to the scene than just using plain greys and blacks. The zombie herself seems to have lots of thought to the shading, yet the tombstone seems detached with its technique. Keep a consistency of shading/highlighting throughout, and it would help make this more of a complete piece. Good effort!
This one makes me laugh! Her expression is so funny, and she looks like she is ready to win the pageant of her dreams. I like the posing of her hands, she is very feminine for a dead person. And her outstretched leg looks like she is trying to win the judges over. Illustrations that have a story behind them help draw the viewer in. This would be a neat character to follow on her day to day routine. The background could be lightened a bit maybe, and a smoother gradient in the background might be nice. The bars behind her are fighting for too much attention, and her face is so funny, so downplaying those will make her stand out so much more. Good job! I hope she has fun at the pageant!
This is kind of funny and creepy at the same time. Her pose might be the thing I find humorous. But I don't know what kind of mood you actually intended...
I like the way you used the lavender to pop out the middle of the image and left the top dark.
For me it seems a bit here nor there, style-wise, but I see lots of potential.

Yes... creeeeepy.
