I'm not sure what colors for the dress, I was thinking green and Red, or Pink but I don't know if I want to be so generic and normal with it, I want it interesting!
What do you think? Color suggestion welcomed!

I Hope You Enjoyed the ride!

I think an intermingling of colors in the skirt would be pretty. Blues, greens, maybe purples.

Kind of like this.

I can almost see that treble clef in gold ...

I hope we get to see the finished painting.

Nice sketches Moko. When I looked at it I saw the treble clef in gold and the dress in a contrasting blue maybe with gold trim.

mokonafan: so far it looks absolutely lovely!!! your own special touch, and that's never wrong . i'm with o and erisian on the treble clef and after seeing O's skirt picture i think blue shades might be a good idea - usually i'd probably be all for pink, but those intermingling blues and greens would look fantastic, especially together with the gold treble clef.

Hmmssss...
I'm thinking on colors now...Taking the blues in mind I think I'm coming up with a plan.
Gold treble clef, mm maybe, I'll see how the other colors go. I'll probably start on the flower in the corner because I have never worked with canvas and if I mess something up first try it's not the main part of the image (Dancer).

Atm I'm trying to figure out where I can paint w.o problems, I don't have much table space atm and stuff so...When I have a GOOD place, I'll be painting away!

Hey, paint it YOUR colors. You don't have to paint it what I suggested. Just my thoughts there.

LoL Okay. xD
I think I know what I want, all I need now is a space to work in the painting part. ;D

It's looking good Moko. I love the colour of her hair.

mokonafan: it will be lovely when it's finished, i think your colour choices look great. and i agree with uncle erisian, the colour of her hair is lovely!!

Thank you for the Comments!
Update 2:
Okay so my paining space I won't have anymore until probably NEXT Friday so I busted out as far as I can tell ALL the painting that I need to do and I can finish the rest on my bed, I hope you guys and gals like my thus far results. It's almost done!

I also had an audience, a little girl was where I was working and she watched me for like 3 hours, she even colored a coloring page while I colored my painting and gave it to me, I have a new fan.
She's a sweet girl.

Time Taken Day 3: Approx 5-6 hours; Total Time: Approx 10-12 hours.

I think I should note that a lady saw my artworks on paper and invested to buy me the canvas (a 2 pack I'll paint her something with the other one) and fine touch paints.

~ Moko

Very good. Her hair is absolutely the greatest.

mokonafan: it's looking really lovely now! i agree with O about the hair, i love the way you made it dance around her and i'll repeat myself and say the colour is beautiful. makes me a bit jealous, actually . the roses are great details too.

glad to hear your work is appreciated and rewarded in such nice ways !

It's looking gorgeous now. You've chosen the right colours for this.

Beautiful as usual Moko.

Thank you for all the nice comments!

@AnMal: Why Jealous? LoL

Update 3 / Finished!

~ Moko

mokonafan: it turned out excellent, i think i like everything about it, including the soft coloured background and the words you've added.

hehe, i'm jealous because long, thick, red hair has always been my dream.

Lovely work Moko!

LoL well I like being blond so if I do something stupid I have something to blame it on. xD
Glad you liked it!

@Erisian: Thank You!

Always good to see you try out new things and new media. The end result looks really quite pretty!
