Artist's Comments

: ) Hello!
I finally finished this little baby, after weeks and weeks of being lazy...
This is a commission done for a friend, watermarked for her safety.

This is a finished product, so Crit. isn't really needed...but if you have any suggestions on howI could improve, I'd love to hear them! : )

EDIT: I've been getting asked a lot about the paper and media, so just that everyone knows, I use colored mi-tientes paper and prismacolor colored pencils.
The primary sketch is done with a white charcoal pencil, after which I lay over the prismacolors (which don't erase) and wipe/erase the leftover charcoal.
This piece is around 18x24 and took me...way too long. X3

Hope that answers some questions!

This is simply beautiful. D: The way you are able to use so many colors to create the shadows and still make it seem "realistic" always amazes me , and this is no exception. If I had a friend who would commission something like this for me, I think I would die of joy. C:

zomg.

Do you always use reference photographs for your poses or does this go straight from your head to the paper? I always find it interesting that you don't feel the need to color everything in and yet your drawings still manage to look finished and polished.

Lucky friend! All I can see is perfection.
Bravo!

Very beautiful work, very colorful! It has a vibrant yet soothing in spots. You did a wonderful job with shading and contour in this image to make it seem more 3 dimensional in spots. :heart:
