Description Yeah, this was actually a doodle I started yesterday in Fashion class because we had a free period so I just took some paper out and started drawing. I had no idea I'd embellish it so much though. lol. I added rose petals to the lineart because this week in Global we were watching Gladiator after finishing our unit on Ancient Rome and whenever some big cheese walked in, rose petals were dropped and I wanted to try something with rose petals only here they're coming from the center. My dad asked me if this one was Dali-inspired because he saw a piece of his with things coming from the center... I've never seen it, but I'd be glad if someone pointed the piece out to me. xD

Anyways... this one didn't have too much tiny detail in it, but it does have a lot so the lineart took a while. The drawing was a one-shot thing; I didn't even do a pencil sketch before outlining it. Like I said, it was originally just a doodle, so... The BG is a really cheap one too. I would've done the water droplet effect but my blender is dying on me. T_T I want one for Christmas or I'll claw someone's eyes out. D:< But the BG didn't take too long. A couple of strokes with the pin marker and BAM! I was done after adding a few other cruddy colors. lol. It's supposed to be some dumb sky. It goes another direction at the bottom because I didn't want it to be all even. Then it'd be too boring.

Anyways, I can't help thinking this picture really needs something. If you guys can help me out a bit (nothig too detailed or exciting please.) then help me with minor details I should add. (NOT alterations, just additives.) Or maybe it's just good this way? I dunno... ah well. Enjoy!

MATERIALS USED: Micron 05 brown, pink, black and purple pens, Copic sketch markers, white calligraphy ink, Prismacolor white charcoal pencil, and opaque gold pen on bristol board.

EDIT> Yeah, print is available now... since you can submit prints for free now I wanted to see what submitting prints would be like. The print looks a bit different from the original; it's matted on a different color and it has the title and my name (sorta) on it. Check it out, I guess. If I sell prints well, I might as well get a real account.

I love the dress. This is beatiful and I love the colors you choose for it, and what strikes me the most is using colored microns for the outlines. <3 it.

Wow. This is simply breathtaking! I was searching for pictures drawn using copic sketch markers, because I'm debating on whether or not to buy a set, and saw this and now I really want to try them! I really adore this picture... it's great.

Thanks for the awesome comment! You should really consider buying Copic Sketch markers. They've worked wonders for me, and judging by your gallery, you seem like you'll be able to handle them quite well!

I'm still trying to decide whether or not I should jump the 70-dollar hurdle to buy a pack of 12... Seeing as how I'm broke right now, I wouldn't be getting them in the near future.

xD Thanks so much! Ruffles are really fun to do... I draw them all the time. It's like an addiction. Especially since my designs are becoming so muchmore elaborate compared to what they used to be like.

Haha, she does? ^^: Whoops, Then again, I've never played FFX, nor have I seen her picture too many times, so I could safely say her design didn't exactly influence this at all, especially her hair, even though it does look similar... D: Ah well. Thanks though!

Just look Lulu up on Google and click Images at the top. You'll probably see her, she has black long semi-braided hair, and an elaborately bizarre outfit. You'll see the similarities
