Description HOMG I SUBMITTED A DRAWING.

Yeah... sorry I haven't been submitting anything. My fault. x_x Too busy and lazy to do anything lately. Well, uhm... this is the drawing on my webcam. It's Paluu, my OC/model for my random designs. This one, well... if any of you Gaia users has seen a hat similar to that, then YESH IT'S WHERE I GOT MY INSPIRATION. I really liked the hat, that's why I bought one. In purple! Then I based my design off of it! I'm so evil. Heh... uhm... so... yeah.

Although the design isn't very practical since Paluu's probably prone to popping out of her top while wearing this, I tried to make it look pretty. Decorative, but not too fancy. Plus I love coloring in brown. I tried to incorporate a little bit of Arina Tanemura's style into the hair and clothes. The blouse (?) took the most work because I've never shaded that way before. I've actually never shaded this well before I think... especially on the skin, which, although it's too orangey, took a lot of work. (shyeah, while my mom was buying her new car I did most of it, then my Copic died on me later that week while coloring Axel's face during social studies. x_x) The belt is backwards though, Paluu's head is waaaaaaaay too big for her shoulders (it looks really cartoony.) and her hairstyle, as far as her bangs go, is too similar to Kashuu's. DX Most of his hair is parted to the side of his face covering some of his left eye like this. Whoopsies. I do like how I did the hand though. It was referenced from a How To Draw book though. *shot* Ah well... at least I'm done with it. Topped off with a crappy background done in PSP. The pattern was pre-defined. x_x So if anyone wants to see the rest of the pants design, just ask. I kinda hardly drew any of her legs. And she has that... thongy thing again, as always.

So, well, enjoy! Sorry for my absense! and YAY FOR SUBSCRIPTION.

MATERIALS USED: Micron 05 sepia and brown inking pens, YR00 Copic marker for the skin, watercolor brush markers for all the rest of the coloring, Prismacolor White Charcoal pencil for the highlights of the cheeks, etc. All done on copy paper and touched up in PSP X.

Sorry for the late reply! I used regular water-based calligraphy markers to color this, and I used Copic for the skin. The background was done on Paint Shop Pro X.

I really like the colors on the hair and blouse >3<

Although I do think the proportions need a liiiiiiiittle work.. plus her pose looks a bit stiff : P

Mew-Sumomo In reply to mokiyan [2006-10-17 02:55:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. ^^ Nope, you're right, actually. It was then after I finished inking it that I had realized how many retarded mistakes I made with the proportion. D: But since the coloring job was pretty decent so far, I just decided to keep going.

Navarre-Sojourner In reply to Mew-Sumomo [2006-10-17 15:27:08 +0000 UTC]

head-to-body reminds me of Akira Torayama, specifically his Dragonball characters. But the coloring seems something else.
