Description
The original is even smaller than the deviation displayed hereMore Turma da Mônica fanart, my favorite character Magali in her adolescent form as it shows in the manga version!
From Wikipedia:
''Maggy (original "Magali"), is a character of the popular Brazilian comic book series Monica's Gang. She was created by Mauricio de Sousa, who based the character on one of his daughters, Magali. Maggy has her own comic book, in which there are also stories of her cat, Vanilla.
Her most notable feature is her voracious appetite. She eats almost everything, usually at high speed, and states to be hungry at all times. Her stories are always centered around food, or at least have her appetite as a recurring gag. Despite this, she never gets fat (a fact which Monica often complains about). Her favorite food is watermelon.''
(now you can understand why the title and why she is holding a juice cup.
This time I tried something new too, and what is a problem for me - drawing in small canvas. I always wanted to try ACEO cards but they are a bit expensive;; so I picked a normal Canson paper and cut in the ACEO size (2.5x3.5 inches) and tried drawing on it. This is the result!
Also, as it is fanart, it was even harder. But worth it, I had so much fun drawing so small
Hope you will like it!~
Turma da Mônica (c) Maurício de Sousa

This is so lovely! I love how this still has all the detail you'd normally include in your larger pieces, despite it being on such a small canvas.
The muted colours are so pretty, and I love the shine in her eyes. The way the yellow of the flowers matches the yellow of the cup in her hand is lovely, too, and really ties everything together.

Indeed. I'm surprised I could do so, myself
Yeah. Her favorite color is yellow so I kind of wanted to give more value to the color here.

Even in the anime version of her? I'm pretty sure that you can do it!

eee all this fanart from you makes me happy! 8D
and wow, this is your first time drawing in a small canvas? that's impressive! *__* you didn't lose any of the details that you normally put in your larger drawings! 2.5x3.5 inches is quite small (I don't think I've ever drawn anything that small before ), which makes this even more amazing! I really like her cheerful expression and the way she's turning towards the audience! lovely job on her hands as well. :>

I knew you would like it
Yes. I often like drawing in very big canvas as it gives more space for details but I realized that can be a problem so I tried doing the opposite
Thank you she is so cute so I wanted to express a bit of her cuteness.:3
[link] I uploaded a pic of the original in my stash to show you. The original has the same size of my mouse
