Red Beauty

What I love about Nanohikakou’s work is they make something small into something big. Nanohikakou doesn’t put al lot of detail into this picture, but they don’t leave it plain. I love how they make the girl look almost puppet like. The body is put together almost like a puzzle.  It is like the body of a puppet.

            I also like how the ribbon looks like it is separating. Part of the ribbon is on one side of the girl’s body. The other part of the ribbon is swirling down the page to the girl’s feet. The thing about the ribbon that I really like is the color. It’s dark enough to stand out, but not too much. I think the ribbon is supposed to bring the audiences eye to the girl.

            The part in the whole picture that I like is the girl. I love the way they did the pose. Despite the fact that it looks mechanic, it is very delicate. The fingers are long and pointed, but not overly pointed.  When I draw fingers for female, they are slightly rounded. For some reason, I can’t make females fingers as delicate as they should be.

            The dress really makes the body stand out. It fits tightly to the body, so it is not all over the place.  The little ribbons attached to the dress also attach to pretty wings.  The wings look a bit withered, almost dying, but they also come off fresh.  I think the fresh wings even out the slightly dead parts, like the left arm. I didn’t realize that until I really looked at the picture.
