Artist's Comments

Tah-dah! ^^ Another Graphic Design class project. :D

I really think I outdid myself this time, especially considering I did the whole thing with a mouse, which, in this case, really isn't nearly as difficult as it sounds. Again, this only took me about three class periods.

I really wanted to do something light and day-dreamy. ^_^ And bubbles. lots of bubbles. Bubblegum bubbles.

Also, naturally, because I was using the mouse, I did the lineart with the pen tool, and one can really only do cartoon-style with that, (unless outlining a drawing or photograph) so I did. XD I think she looks cute.

Grr, I keep listening to Phantom of the Opera and it's distracting me from typing this description! D|<

I may type more later, for now, enjoy~

edit:Tried giving it a better title, but I'm telling you it's a pain, might rename it again.

You are good at drawing with a mouse, and considering you used the pen tool (literally my nightmare), that gives you bonus points!

I like the texture on the clouds - it reminds me of...bubbles, but not like bubblegum bubbles.

It was like a stab in the throat when you had a stick of gum in there. I have braces, and I can't chew gum for like two years! D: It makes me sad.

Otherwise, you did a great job! Keep it up!

Fantastic, Melissa! :D this instantly made me smile
What I love best is your choice of colors. With the background/bubbles being colored in "warmer" tones (colors like pink/red, orange, yellow...), the viewer's focus (or at least mine) is naturally drawn (by the greens and blues in her clothes) to the girl first; yet the colors are just subtle enough so that she doesn't command total attention.

Okay, before I say ANYTHING, I congratulate you on your mouse-drawing ness. Even sketching with a mouse is hard for MaeMae.

AND MAEMAE IS SO PROUD OF YOU. MELISSA USED PENTOOL. 8'D AND USED IT WELL, GODDAMMIT.
The pen tool is my homie. It needs more love.
And jesus, you used it so nicely. The pen tool is, personally, a tricky tool to master. And you've mastered it well.
I love the stylized-ish lineart. I love stylized lineart. Yet, never can see how people do it. So excellent job on that. And I love how you never make it black. Colored lineart is your friend. d>o<b

In fact, everything is so stylized and INTERESTING to look at. Lots of yummy colors used, too. Mmmm. Cotton candy bubblegum colors. Beautiful color-works. I just love sunset oranges and pinks and you used them very nicely. 8D

Dammit, I really want gum now. *punches orthodontist* THOSE BUBBLES ARE SO PRETTY AND FUN-LOOKING.

I also love how the butterfly darkens whatever it's over. Very nice touch-you couldn't have done that better.

AND MY GOD, I LOVE THE LIGHT. GOOD GOD THAT LOOKS SO COOL, MAN. Speaking of light and such, is that gradient shading MaeMae spies? *eyewiggle* eue

I STILL FREAKING LOVE THE COLORS, JUST TO REMIND YOU. D8<

AND ONCE AGAIN MELISSA HAS PRODUCED ART, WORTHY OF A 'IDLGHDSGOBSDGB OHMYGOODNESS' COMMENT! :party: :dance: :boogie:

It actually makes me want a bit of gum. Seriously. You could advertise trident or something with this and everyone would buy it because it makes your mouth go all watery. :aww:

Congrats on mastering the pen tool! I have absolutely no idea how to use the thing, but not from lack of trying! I CANNOT BELIEVE this was done with a mouse. I am in COMPLETE SHOCK. You are without a doubt the best person at mouse-drawing (I couldn't think of a better way to phrase that) EVER.

I love love, lovity love the shading! It's so beautiful and simplistic! And I love the hot air balloon too!

I love everything in this! I have used capital letter waaay too much in this comment. :XD:

Why are my comments always the same, darnit!!
