Description There was something about this picture that bugged me as I was working on it... I sketched it entirely in Manga Studio & for some reason they came out looking different... There's something about the size of their eyes that bugs me... But I exported it into Photoshop anyways & started colouring it...

it was only as I'd put the last flat colour on that I realised I'd done Helix's hair wrong the left side (his left - our right) of his fringe/bangs is floppy in this picture where as it's usually ... well not floppy! it's supposed to stick out more :/

So I'm abandoning it as it is before it frustrates me anymore!

I really like the textures flat colours for this actually, it has a colour pallet you don't see on many pictures. This is such a cute moment and these characters of yours have such awesome clothes and designs as usual.

Haaaaair.... *_* *grabby hands*

Hair has always been my favourite!! X3

You do hair so well, I still haven't figured out how I want to draw hair. Nyaa ~ But yes, the colours for this project are really gorgeous and unusual!

Aww! No worries about it bugging you! Maybe you could simply do a remake in the future...

I'm really enjoying your manga style. It's so adorable~ do you mind if I draw in the same style as this? I thought it would be best to ask permission first, anyway.

Thank you! I'll be sure to give you a heads up once at least one picture is done, I rarely post anything at all on this site so maybe this'll get some motivation in!

I think this one is really good though! I'd say if you sized up the eyes to be touching the top and bottom eyelashes it'd fix your issue (because that's how you drew them everywhere else).

the hair looks actually right because his head is tilted so it'll look like the our right side of the picture hair would flop down a bit.

cowgirlem In reply to PolyMune [2012-04-14 17:17:44 +0000 UTC]

I think it's the overall size though... not just the pupils... also I think Helix's are a little too low :/

thanks though hon! *squeeeze*

You are way to hard on yourself, I think this is adorable and I love the additional texture layer over them.

Helix's hair looks fine the way it is, maybe he forgot to put the gel in it that morning, and their expressions are so cute! Mynk all curious and interested in some Helix probably finds so mundane. <3
It's adorable!

bluster-squall In reply to cowgirlem [2012-04-14 20:13:02 +0000 UTC]

Maybe. Maybe he's considering the dangers of doing it himself. Or asking Mynk to do it. x3

Yeah, it's amazing how much shading dulls down my flats XD I'm always worried at the flat stage - but usually pull it together! :3

Pity about the differences bugging you, it's a really cute pic ^.^ Love the textures you added tho', they add that extra depth that make it look finished anyway! X3

cowgirlem In reply to AngelBless [2012-04-14 12:17:16 +0000 UTC]

I liked the idea... but to be honest about now I'm fed up with it! I started it last night * I just kept saying to Ben - "there's something wrong & I don't know why I can't fix it!!" D:

I do love textures... from the moment I chose to abandon it I whipped up my textures and plonked them on XD I'm with you - they just seem to make everything look more finished! :3

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AngelBless In reply to cowgirlem [2012-04-14 12:20:14 +0000 UTC]

And they add extra depth if you don't wanna use gradients or masses of detailed shading X3

...Wish I didn't have a ton of sewing to do today, I really wanna draw X_x After posting that pic of Skye, I've got a million things I wanna doodle now XD;;;
