This is my more realistic drawing of an angel, done for my friend's mom. I wanted a very soft, serene/peaceful feeling, so I used very little color. I've gotten mixed opinions about the angels face, so please let me know what you think her expression is. Medium: colored pencils

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "Ah, muchas gracias amiga! I'm glad ya like her! It took a while on the wings, but I still kinda rushed, hehe! Thanks!"

I agree, very cool wings. nice hair too. to me, she looks like she has an expression of disinterest and superiority kind of rolled into one. she seems to contrast within herself because she is an angel, which are supposed to be pretty nice most of the time, but she doesnt really look like a nice angel, you know?

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "Yeah, I see what you mean. I never meant for it to look that way, but it kinda does! To be honest, I was going for a somewhat calm/serene/callous look, but yeah, you're right! I'm glad to be able to see what others see in my art. Thanks again!"

well, judging by your usual style, this is alot more realistic, and (i feel so very horrible for saying this) she indeed looks like she's been dead before *cringes* I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT! i'm so sorry! but i do love the wings, i assure you!

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "Hey, that's ok! Thanks! I'm not sure how you meant that she looks like she's been dead before, like, she's a decaying undead person, or something else? lol, anyway, that's what I was going for, the realism because this is supposed to be a somewhat serious picture, not just a cute cartoon, but I don't want it too realistic, because I loves my anime and manga! hehe, anyway, thanks again!"

Cool wings!
The face looks a little strange i think because the top of the head is too small for the bottom, you know how the eyes should be in the middle (seens as ur goin 4 the more realistic look) does that make sense? Lol
anyway this is really sweet, and i like the way you just drew the top half...Makes her look ... Enchanted? ... Magical? ... English is hard lol

oh...And thanx 4 the comment in my gally! (come back anyime! Lol)

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "Thanks! Yeah, I see what you mean, if you haven't already, check out my guardian angel, and please let me know if I've improved! Anyway, thanks again! Don't worry, I'll be back to visit you! hehe! "

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "Thanks! Yeah, I wish I had wings too!! I'm gonna go skydiving someday, since it's the closest to flying, hehe!!"

17 I think I know what it is
*after looking for a few mins*
the features are just a little too big for the frame of her face..but I s'pose that could just be my opinion?

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "Yeah, I think that's what it is. the face is totally unproportional. I realize that now, but well, she liked it, and I guess if it didn't bother her, I won't worry about redrawing it."

No offence, but from what I've seen of your works this isnt hte best of all *hides*
I dont particularly like the face, but I do however like the hair and dress, her wings are rather good too...
*backs away slowly*

not to be a bad critic, but I probably could do better in the realistic, but i know you definatly got me on Anime.^_^ So I think you should have done more work like taking a pic. of your friend's mom and drawing that as the angels face a=by using a grid, and maybe even color it with pastels........might look really good then......*is scheming up an idea*

:-) Carlee Weimer replies: "I'm not stupid I'm just a lazy artist who won't work to her potential. I can do realistic, I just haven't posted any of it up here. Don't come back to my gallery."

I like the peice in general but i think her waist is a little too skinny. Notice its almost smaller that her head.
