Description
This is my entry for =Rini-tan 's contest [link] where you can draw her OC's!

It was hard to choose just one among her amazing OC's, but since I knew I had limited time to work upon it - I chose to draw Pandora Because she's beautiful, elegant and feminine
here's the reference [link]

This work was done in two phases :

Firstly; I drew Pandora, teapot, teacup, strawberry cake and the strawberry cake slice together in one paper - strenghtened and cleared the lines so that I got the lineart phase ready [link] and then colored it with my copic CIAO inkbrushes Then I scanned it in my computer - did some BG clearing with Chasys Draw IES - made the BG transparent and finally added some Halo on edges and dropped a little shadow under the floating layer
Secondly; I started to design what to draw as a backgroundI really wanted to have something indoor related since I haven't drawn BG's like that for YEARS I came up with the idea of "japanese paper houses" I didn't take any reference - just pictured something in my head how should it look like and then started to sketch After strenghtening the lines and adding the opened "doors" and windows I drew some grass - then forest and a little path midst it and finally - drew some roses in windows since they looked so empty luckily all that was left was a tiny space of sky which I simply colored with light blue Copic ciao brush. I continued on with coloring and after I was finished - scanned it in the computer
Lastly; After reducing brightness on the BG, I combined the first two phases together using Chasys Draw IES and added blur very generously on the grass, windows, sky and a bit on the wooden floor to add depth in the image

After a long journey - my entry is now finished!

I truly hope you like it

Thank you sweetie~
The contest ended already.. ..but thank you for wishing me luck~ I didn't win any prizes but still I feel really grateful for entering this contest since I got to see lots of beautiful art and met many new friends I gained so much that it feels as though all of my efforts have been paid fully back to me I'm glad

wow this is very pretty, but im so confused , did you do the girl traditioonaly and the bachground digital? or did you do a traditional background but then imputed it into the traditional drawing as the bottom layer? im so confused O w Q

Hey no worries! I think you already answered the question halfway though:

Both of them (the background and Pandora) have been made traditionally
I just put them together digitally using layers
Also the blurry areas and shiny edges around Pandora are done digitally

so you could say that this piece is 9o% traditionally and 10% digitally made

Thank you so much for the comment I'm always happy to clear misunderstandings it's real nice of you to ask
Hope you understood me now I'm sorry if I'm not so good at explaining

Domo arigatou~
I like both styles, digital and traditional...so I figured - since I can't draw with computer mouse I'll draw traditionally with my pens and brushes and then digitally combine them and experiment what I can add digitally there!
It's really great fun and you always learn new tricks with it

I saw your piece and I have to say it's really original and since it's very different from others it's really refreshing to look at!
so great job you too I couldn't possibly convince anyone if I'd try to draw a dark side of cute characters...It would be impossible for me I'd be scared to death..!

aww~ Thank you
Yeah, she's got very nice outfit don't you think?
..there's lots of lace to draw.. I have to admit I was scared I'd make a mistake at lineart part when strenghtening the lines..I was sure I'd strenghten the wrong line sooner or later.. but I didn't yay for that!

thank you so muchThese kind of comments makes me feel so happy!
Well, I did my best we'll see soon where it leads!

I truly am happy I made it on time(the deadline is 14th April, two days from now!).. btw just uploaded the line phase of this work so have a peek if you're interested to see how it looked like before coloring and BG : [link] It was the hardest part to maintain focus when doing that line phase

..and now I crave for cake

You're welcome, you deserve all your compliments. I checked the lineart version, it looks great, colors sure give more life to it, but in lineart all the detais show really nicely

I couldn't have said it better myself I like to check on those too to have a deeper look on details on some works I see here that's why it's real nice to upload linearts of your own AND check on others what they have done in their linearts! it's like doubling the fun~

shinu8P In reply to x3Chibix3 [2013-04-16 14:54:19 +0000 UTC]

Yes! linearts make it so clear to see some parts better. I just so often just keep on doing the art piece so fast that it's ready before I even remember that I could have saved the lineart first xD

that happens so easily to me too if I'm not paying enough attention For example: i remembered to save the lines for Pandora but forgot to save this BG I have here under Pandora I think I was in too much of a hurry
Now it bothers me.. but hey, I can always make it again~!

Yeah xD drawing is so much fun when you have good inspiration flow on, that you easily forget to save those things xD
