Artist's Comments

Just wanted to pick up drawing with coloured pencils again. Her name is Leah--I love that name ^^! btw, I'm sorry it's such a...brainless picture, but this was more of a warm-up, since I haven't used this medium in ages. Anyways...I apologize for the tasteless--ironic?--title again. The colour of the actual piece of art is a bit different from the scanned version here--they're more...."delicate", and has a champaign-ish hue to the lighter parts of her dress as well as her headwear<--which was supposed to be a crown, but it looks more like a girly pope hat or something lol.

Anyways...I'm currently trying to build up a portfolio of traditional anime--fanart & OC--art to sell with my CGs <amongst other things> at AN09--hopefully I'll get a table again. With that said...this is the first one I've done, and hopefully my future pieces will be more elaborate ^^

I'd buy it if I was going to AN09! (sadly, I am not T_T) I like the glowy eyes, and think it's really cool that you can get this kind of effect with colored pencils.

Thank you ^^
For the picture, I just colour really softly, starting with the lightest colour first, and then build up the lightness with slightly darker colours. For the lineart, I outlined with a really sharp coloured pencil after I've finished the shading, so that there won't be any smudges.

Hope that helps ^^

Your Traditional art is just as beautiful and skillful as your CG's, Why am I not surprised?

Her eyes really make the whole picture glow, & bring out a mystical dreamy feeling to me. The detail on the leaves & flowers especially, make me think they are almost real. Also that purple pattern lightly sticking out of the sides, made me at first thinking she had wings.

I would buy a ton of your stuff if I could go to AN09. (this piece included) Why do I have to live on the other side of Canada...? OTL
