Recreating... #4

Hi guys!
First off I wanna say thank you to the people who have taken my survey- and if you haven't yet, go do so! :D
AND NOW FOR ANOTHER RECREATION!
This one turned out really well in my opinion, and I can't wait to see what you guys think! So, let's get started with the original drawing I did!
This drawing I did around late 2014, I think, or whenever Into the Woods came out as a movie. So...there are quite a few problems with it, starting off with her unbalanced features. Her eyes are too far to one side, and that's the biggest problem on her face. Next, her arms are insanely skinny and don't connect where they should, and her chest is just...really funky. And adding onto things being unbalanced, her torso is too far to the right. I also didn't give her a pose, making the drawing pretty blah and not adding any interest.
(See, guys, I used to do the "put the hand behind her back" pose before I knew how to do hands well! XD)
Now here is the finished product!
*squeals*
I think she looks a billion times better, and super pretty! I always have a fun time trying to take the shapes I used in the original drawing and incorporating them in the improved image. I added a necklace and a headband to her outfit, and I think it makes it look a lot more pretty! :D
The only problem I have is that her eyes are once again just a tiny bit unbalanced, but it's still a huge improvement and I can overlook it. :D
What do you guys think? :) I remember in the comments in my previous recreation, some people liked the original better, so tell me if you like the "before" better than the "after". :) Although I don't think there's anything up for debate really... XD

P.S. Expect a new hermit post coming soon, I need to take some pictures and work out the details, but I have an idea. XD

  5. The original was good, but the recreation is amazing! The biggest difference that I noticed was that the coloring was smoother. I think that really helped a lot.

    1. Thanks, Evy! I agree! The first one was really choppy and wasn't great coverage. ;)

  6. What talent!! Nice job! I agree with Evy—though both are really amazing, the second one is by far the better of the two. What do you use to color in and ink?

    1. Oh my goodness! Thank you so much, Sophia! I just use this huge pouch of colored pencils I've had for forever. There are so many different brands in there I don't even know...XD Then for ink I just use a random pen that works well. It's a black paper mate pen, it says. ;) Hope that helped!
