The approving process is always a suprise - drawings that I am always unsure about the quality go through, other pics on which I worked way more concetrated and considered as way more elaborated and detailed and worth for hanging in the Louvre get rejected (no, I really dont want to complain, its just funny).
What can I improve in that case? And overall? My watercolor works seems to draw the evil ULOD-monster like a sugarpot the flys  _________________ Rianas art @ Epilogue |

If find your use of the watercolors very beautiful.
I am not an expert on watercolors, but maybe the face could use a bit more contrast and detail? Since she is the main figure and she seems to lack a bit of contrast compared to the bg. Maybe it is an idea to try something out digitally first to see if it works, not to spoil the fine layers of paint.
I hope some one can help you out with this, since I find it a beautiful piece!
Is it from that song? ("green grows the lily-o, right among the bushes-oo") _________________ My Portfolio

Exactly that song, Saille!
She is supposed to be something like a ghost, and first I was thinking about giiving her a sort of glow around her, but that didnt work well against the background.
I am thinking about darkening the shadows and to work out the folds on her dress a bit more, but when the whole figure gets too dark it might loose this corpse like appearance. _________________ Rianas art @ Epilogue |

Id soften that purple out line around the main figure a little bit... and maybe add a TINY amount of detail to the face.. make her expression shw a little better _________________
