Description Here is, what i consider, the final version of this drawing. i enjoyed the minimal color and shading, but added more of a background and didn't leave anything "flat". I hope you like the additions.

I really love your style. This is a great piece. I love the way that she is sitting... so regal yet enthralling at the same time. Lovely.

wow you're so good drawing! I love this one.. I also draw but I am not so good, I don't have so much time so when I draw I just try to reply something I like or mix pieces of drawings I see to make new one but you are really good. I also drawn something on a canvas and it's really cool but I don't have anyone to color that now :-/

Nicely done the coloring on the background kinda looks like a colored marker and smooth cg coloring with the character as well

Wow, leaving the backgroud white gives it an almost scientific illustration quality! Beautiful work, the colors are perfect and give it that deep sea look

One thing though, when you look at the full-size version, it kind of looks like she has three nostrils.
I like the way you sign things now.

Simply lovely... I do like this one, very good with the flowing design, the proportions and anatomy look great, and the very strong feel to it.

Quite lovely.

JessicaDru In reply to ashigaru [2006-08-20 22:21:19 +0000 UTC]

thank you very much, i am proud of the face and the next especially. then the rest was just frosting! I am glad it all turned out and flowed together. so glad, otherwise i'd have to redraw it and i might make other mistakes.

ashigaru In reply to JessicaDru [2006-08-20 23:43:43 +0000 UTC]

The face is very regal. Learning to follow the flow of the art is probably one of the most difficult things to do, but there are no lessons, no way anyone can teach this to you... you have to discover it for yourself!

JessicaDru In reply to Wytherwing [2006-08-20 22:26:15 +0000 UTC]

I am glad to have had the practice with the grey and subtle color, i think that it is very pretty. I'd like to work with grey and purples next. a friend of mine loves purple and wanted me to make something (anything) for him.

Wytherwing In reply to JessicaDru [2006-08-20 22:38:59 +0000 UTC]

i agree. a limiting the palette can be challenging but the results can be spectacular and very eye-catching. i look forward to seeing what you whip up with the greys and purples... good luck and have fun!

JessicaDru In reply to randomartmanix [2006-08-20 22:16:23 +0000 UTC]

*glee* they are actually these pens that look just like water colors. they move and seep into the paper the same way. but they are less messy to use. i highly recommend checking out tria or prismacolor pens.
