Description Yay finally finished! Well, kinda. I'd like to touch it up a bit and give it a background but I'm stuck for inspiration and motivation xD. This picture is really just a drawing in my sketch book that I thought "hm, lets try colouring this" and did. It just got a bit out of hand.

I played around with colouring manga stuff using a different technique to cell shading (omg!) Basically lots of fuzzy brushes and gradation tool.

My favourite parts of this drawing would have to be Umiko's hair (right) and both of their shoes ^_^. They're both wearing shoes that would probably be against the dress code. Misaki likes cute, pretty things as well as cooking (especially sweets), hence her shoes. Umiko likes sports so wears runners that stick out a lot against her black socks (It's more acceptable to wear matching socks and shoes in Japan or something).

Anyway, what do ya think?

PS I'm putting the version without the yellow backlight in my scraps...

lol dont really have time to comment on all the pictures (my mums laptop) but they are al really cool.
its funny...japanese uniforms are all really similar ne? my uniform looks so much like that...except the skirt is tartan and I havea tie instead of a bow...I really wish I had a bow tho!!! TT_TT

lol runners do look quite sad with school uniform socks XD I know because I wear it TT_TT lol Umiko seems kinda shy...or is it just me? With the matching shoes/socks thing...are u sure? lol coz I all the 'fashionable' girls here where black stockings and bright pink/yellow/(insert highlighter colour here) shoes. lol. maybe its just in Matsuyama.
perhaps theyr trying too hard.

Id think that Misaki would be pretty scary to meet ne? lol XD does she have a hot temper?

Lol. It's more the situation. Misaki is Takeo's clingy, deluded ex-girlfriend (still considers herself his girlfriend) and Umiko is his new one. In this picture Misaki's come to Umiko's school to confront her.

Thanks for the info . They have school uniform socks *snerk*.

I'm personally staring at the shading on Umiko right now - Do you see that shoulder? Do you? (Of course you do, you drew it -__-)

*Squibbles at the shoulder*

(Love the whole thing btw, I'm noticing the tartan and the hair right now, though)

Ah yes that shoulder is a bit munted (a bit?). By then I just wanted it finished... xD. The intention was to have it lower on the lower surface (like, not on the arm) but I forgot to do it at the bottom xD. Another thing I noticed is that I forgot Misaki's collar and coloured it as her hair xD. Can you spot it?

By which I mean the shoulder is awesome, yes?

Yes, I sort of see the collar XD I wouldn't have seen it as a problem if you hadn't said so. It still looks fine anyway XD
