Description Full View Please!

I'm really proud to have successfully finished this one!!! In this work is Mika Nakashima, a famous J-Pop singer in Japan. I like most of her songs but her song "Cry No More" surely is a favorite, especially seeing the video on Youtube. It's my first time to create colored pencil portraits so if I have some shades that seem off, please bear with me. Done in about 4 hours (though not continuously). Here's the reference photo (which is the cover of the single of this song): Cry No More

Sorry for the small image...

This one's dedicated to for him inspiring me to draw portraits again.

Thanks to for lending me his colored pencils for the first few skeches of this one.

And absolutely, thanks to for the scanning which I'm eternally grateful for. I'll surely cry no more

Hey, this is really nice! The strokes go in one direction, the lighting and shadows are excellent, and the face is just very well proportioned. ^^ Though the hand bothers me a bit, since it's lines aren't that defined as they should be. Try adding some darker shades to it. But yeah, awesome pencil work here ^_^

Thank you so much! Yeah, a lot have told me about the hands, hehehe, I'll improve on that. I really had so much fun doing this so I may do some more colored pencil works in the future, and with people like you who have appreciated my works truly inspires me to do the best I can.

great job man. I little bit raw though. I like the softness and the lighting but I feel that this still lacks shadows and definitions especially around her hand. But all in all, I like this

Sakanami In reply to liberti [2007-08-31 02:18:28 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Kat! I did the rawness of the artwork on purpose since I like the sketchy feel... As for the lack of shadows and definition, I believe I have to practice more! Thanks again!

liberti In reply to Sakanami [2007-09-03 09:49:42 +0000 UTC]

by raw I didn't really mean the sketchy feel. I really like that effect your work has by raw I mean you can still afford to add more tones to make the colors of your works stand out better. But yeah. You're talented and you'll have dozens of other opportunities to make it happen.
