Artist's Comments
On nights when the moon is low and the clouds roam freely on the edges of space and sky, the Lady wanders from her slumber and fills the emptiness with jewels of light. It is her gift to us to shine when we are lonely, and to show the way when we are lost. You will never see this lady for she insists on walking between the clouds with her Shawl held low to let the suns burn brightly in the distance.
-- I have been busy the past few weeks with school, but after taking a tour of galleries here on DA I felt inspired (as I call the DA effect) I have to thank  for uploading some great pieces the past few weeks to make me want to get off the computer and finish this piece! I was happy with how it turned out and I hope you enjoy it! Painted on hot press watercolor paper. A few hours  Reference from  [link] Comments
 This is beautiful. I love the detail in the clouds and her shawl.
Well Done  -- "This is reality. No one can help you. Sit back and enjoy the show." - Edea, Final Fantasy VIII Thank you! I hope I start seeing starry nights soon. I appreciate your comment
 -- ~The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning~  This is great - I think the figure flattens out a little too much though since the values are all too similar. Kyrn gave a good crit on that. Also, don't be afraid to use additional color in your shadows rather than just a darker shade of the same color - it gives it more depth as well.
Thank you for the comment
I agree with what you and Kyrn suggested. I did have an idea in my mind that this would be a slightly monochromatic piece but as I see now it flattens the piece somewhat. I will be the first to admit I become "sloppy" towards the end when I want a piece to be finished  -- ~The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning~  Absoloutley beautiful

Critiques
Since the moon is your light source there should be more shadow on the sides of the clouds facing her as well as far side of her dress. The drapery is good, although there should be a few darker spots. Right now the clouds tend to look flat and patterned because there's not much contrast. A few areas of darker sky showing through on the right side would really add more interest. You could use some acrylic/gouache or wc pencil to add brighter highlights on the upper cloud edges and edge of her dress where moonlight would hit.
Try looking up some photos of the full moon with clouds. An artist who really does this well is Laurel Long. [link]
