Description YAY!! New color picture!! <3 I worked really hard on this one. Took a couple hours. I still need to practice with coloring the backgrounds with markers because I still end up with streaks. I really enjoy coloring her
I suppose I should do some different fan art lol

Done completely with pencil, pen, and copics.

Dude, you drew this with copics?!?! It looks so perfectly blended!!! Miku looks great, and the background really makes her come to life!! I'm loving this! <3333

yes! the only thing I did was make it glow a little bit more with photoshop. But other than that all the coloring was done with copic markers thank you so much! I really enjoyed working on it

Ooooh, I see. That's really cool! And, of course, the raw talent that was put into it with the copics are just fantastic, if I haven't already mentioned. Just.... I keep getting blown away just by thinking about it xDDD;;;;
You're welcome!!! I've never worked with copics myself, or markers period, so I hope to do so someday

*sorry this took so long *
It takes some practice. I used to be afraid to even ink my work because I didn't want to mess it up. You'll be awesome at it ;D
(unfortunately copics are so expensive)

It's okay <33

Oh, gosh, I remember a few months ago I was terrified at inking my work. But now I'm okay with it- I just can't do it after coming home from somewhere, because then my hands get shaky and mess up the crucial areas, like the eyes or hands xDD;;

I've heard D: A friend of mine works with copics, but she never tells me how much they cost xD

She's lovely! I really like the pop-influenced stars and outline; their simplicity makes her smooth shading pop! Your hard work really shows.

The only problem with the figure that really stands out is her hand. Unless Miku is a polydactyl, the top finger doesn't quite belong here. Fortunately, the way it is situated, you can easily white it out, and shade more of her chest.

About streaks: Streaks will become much less apparent if you color in circles. It's what I do, and I don't notice many streaks. This will be effective in large areas, such as your background.

WOW! thank you! I think you are the first person in like 3 years who has given me an honest critique on my work,I really thank you for that. I don't know WHAT I was thinking with that! To be honest I didn't even notice my flaw until you pointed it out. You are right it should either disappear or the thumb should be pointing up.
I used to draw hands a lot when I first started drawing and I always liked drawing them but the past three years I have felt that I can't get hands quite right.
Would you be able to recommend any tutorials or anything that would help me with hands?

I really appreciate you stopping by and pointing this out to me thank you again

oh and BTW you have such lovely art!!

Not a problem at all, hun! I try to give good comments because they're my favorite kind to get.

Don't worry about it, hun, I think everyone has drawn an extra digit or two in a picture. I know I have, at least!

As far as tutorials go, there are quite a few options. I don't think you have a drawing problem as much as you have an anatomical problem, because it seems that you are quite skilled! This book in particular has always been of great help to me: [link] . It's very in depth and has a lot of great plates from the old masters. Resources online (and more importantly free and instant) are fairly good, but this is the best on on hands I've found: [link] . `Cedarseed has some of the most comprehensive tutorials I've seen on dA, bar none!

I just like to help; it makes me happy I was helpful.

I'm glad you think so! I try my best~
