Art: Glee, Sharp Dressed Woman, G

[ileliberte]

rrrowr wrote this delightful story where Santana visits Dalton, and following in Kurt's (unsubtle) footsteps, wears a Dalton uniform. Except, of course, she knows how to enjoy the hell out of it :D The image wouldn't leave my head, so...

Title: Sharp Dressed Woman
Fandom: Glee
Rating: G
Character: Santana Lopez




Title/cut-tag stolen and gender-switched for my convenience from ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man"


On a related note: Anyone know any general Glee comms where I can crosspost my art? I don't think gleefic takes art, does it?

Fantastic! I do love a woman in a blazer... She looks amazing - very strong, powerful, with just enough attitude! :)

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I admit, I have a thing for women in blazers too, the cut is just really flattering :D I'm glad you liked it!

Oh. My. Goodness.

Santana knows how to work that blazer. This is absolutely fantastic and gorgeous! ♥

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! It was really fun to draw :D

Aww, your icon! I still feel a stupid grin coming on when I think of his reaction when his name was announced ♥

[heeythatsmybike.livejournal.com]

OH UNF, I DO LOVE ME SOME CROSS-DRESSING SANTANA~

I love the detailing on the blazer. And her "bitch please, of course I look hot" expression. ♥ Perfection.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

ME TOO!

Thank you so much! I love all of her expressions, I rather like a hot girl who knows she's hot and doesn't fake modesty about it :D

[embroiderama]

Mmmmf, nice! I love how her curves bust out through the menswear lines.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Yeah, women in blazers is definitely one of my favorite things :D

[chkc.livejournal.com]

I am not familiar with Glee but she looks very nice! There's nothing quite like the clean lines of a suit. Her confident expression definitely makes the whole drawing! I also love the strands of loose hair at the end of the ponytail. :)

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Yes, I love this character's self-confidence and lack of fake modesty :D I'm glad you liked the details :)

[crackedaglet.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. That's a Warbler I could get excited about. <3

Such a fantastic job.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Haha, same here! Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it :D

[muccamukk]

I don't know who that is, but she's really hot! I love her expression

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

One of the cheerleaders, you've definitely seen her in the first season. She has snarky one-liners and looks really hot and sometimes makes out with the her cheerleader BFF :D

I'm glad you liked it! It's always fun to draw women in blazers :)

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

Hee, not a fan of Santana but I love this :D

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Santana's not my favorite, but when she's not being crappy to Rachel, her snark can be kind of fun and her confidence/attitude made her perfect for the picture :D I'm glad you liked it!

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

I don't watch Glee, but she looks very sharp in that outfit and I love her smirky expression *g*

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! It was really fun to draw :D

[shadowhuntress.livejournal.com]

THAT IS TOO AWESOME!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) Haha, I'm really amused that we share so many fandoms! I'm glad you liked this :D

[devildoll.livejournal.com]

Holy smokes. Gorgeous!

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Naya Rivera really is very attractive :D

[pee-wee-2005.livejournal.com]

Hot. The loose tie. The smirk. The eyebrow. The face. THE FACE.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it, she's really fun to draw :)

[ranka-lee.livejournal.com]

Love this!! Really really awesome job! :D

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it :D

[msmoocow.livejournal.com]

AGHSJDHAJKLSDMDHNS,JMNH I love this SO much. Your style is so CLEAN and lovely and I adore her expression.

[ileliberte.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I can get fussy with my lines and coloring sometimes so I'm glad you liked the way this turned out. She was really fun to draw :D

CREEPY CONCRIT ANON IN DA HOUSE

[(Anonymous)]

This is reeeeaally pretty and you're obviously talented but I do think that Santana's face should have a little more delicate shape. Her chin is a little too strong to really look like Naya Rivera. She looks more like a male!Santana(Santanos? :D) than actual show!Santana, which might be what you're going for and in that case I'm sorry aahhaha. I really think that you nailed the upper part of her face(her eyes, her eyebrows etc) tho. And her expression is totally in character! :D

You could also have worked a little more on her clothes to make them more realistic. Mostly her pants cos her blazer looks nice :D. Her slacks should actually be kind of baggy but they look more like jodphurs except that Santanas legs should look skinnier if the slacks were tight so it just looks a little weird.

The soft way you shadowed her slacks also doesn't really mesh well with the really crisp shadowing of the blazer. I suggest that you stick with the blazer+skin!shadowing since it fits your style better and it looks much nicer. c:

Sorry for being a creepy creepy concrit!anon. It's like 11.17 pm in Sweden right now so this probably doesn't make much sense urgh sorryyyyy DDDDD:

Haha, you know, you don't actually need to be anon for this, constructive criticism is always welcome and it's not creepy. It's helpful to have people point out what worked and what didn't. Plus all your points are totally valid :)

I have in the past kind of fallen into accidentally making female faces a little too masculine (and vice versa) and sadly, it seems to have continued here. Will keep in mind for next time.

You caught me on the pants. It was laziness combined with a last minute fix because her legs looked too small for her upper body in the first version and I was really eager to post and I kind of raced into resizing it and doing some very slapdash shading instead of paying as much attention as I did to the blazer.

I'm glad you think it's pretty and her expression works though :)

[shia-labeouf.livejournal.com]

OMG YESSSSSSS I've been waiting for someone to do this!! Gorgeous :D
