Description Will scrap later

While I feel I have been doing a lot of drawing
Especially of characters in my manga
I haven't actually been doing finished pieces
(And Ryu is getting sorely neglected)
So I thought I'd show you something else I'm working on

This is another of my boyfriends characters that is in a story that he is writing
Her name is Aster.

None of the clothing colours are totally defined as of yet

I really feel that I am improving on my realism
I love how the nose and the eyes are looking
And the hair!

The swatches are the colours that I have been using in the shadows and highlights
I've found that for realism,
putting all shadows (Or highlights) on the same layer (For Ie Skin)
And then using a layer effect like Multiply
Makes it so much easier to do various colours in the shadows
Without it looking to outlandish

Great to see you doing realism I love how her hair turned out. It's gorgeous! Her eyes are beautiful too. Awesome work

Same - I've attempted to give two of my characters in my manga braids
One of them was a definite yes (Lian)
The other (Sheng) Never took off, he's gone back to his old hairstyle
(But now that I've worked out how to draw that style better it looks awesome )

Yeah I'm trying to make it as good and realistic as possible
(Am I asking to much of myself?)

Haha. Uhhh..Yeah. Braids don't stay with my characters, no matter how much I love them.

Not asking too much at all!

Hehe, I'm hoping for it to stay with Lian
Because it suits her ^^
It didn't really suit Sheng XD

As for Aster, it's not my character and she described as having braids
(It one of my boyfriend's characters in a story he's writing)

At least I hope so
It depends on whether Mum is at home at the same time
So she can help me choose the right fabric.
