Main focus was on the hair, and boy did it take a while... :shock:

That is really good, so good it's my new wallpaper

That hair's worth every second you spent on it! And the simple background makes it stand out even more! Two thumbs up! If I had more thumbs, they'd all be up.

[Kannabi]

Okay... Been unable to draw for a good while, but I've finally finished colouring my last lineart (something to do with it being the school holidays, I think :? )

This was the second attempt at colouring it, and the first piece where I'm kinda happy with the background. I've spent most of the last two days on it, and I think that's the key.... Amazing what some people do for fun! :wink:

Anyone got any thoughts?

 

[Apple Bun]

Wow! That is amazing! i really love it!

I was wondering where you'd run off to, but that was well worth the wait! ^_^ Sorry I can't offer anything but praise, but you deserve all you can get! Let's see some more!

 

[Siobhan]

Well, I never ran off.. :wink:

I've just been too ill / stressed / busy to do much in recent months. :? And soon I'm going to have to sort out moving to uni, so I won't be able to do much then either! :cry:

Just finished the latest one, went for something more simple this time.

I really like this one ^^ I had to fave it! It is very diffrent from your other stuff but it's really great

 

[where's my cow?]

Top quality as usual! You've got the talent so I'm sure you'll pick it up again in the future once you've settled in at uni and stuff (plus there's a reason for margains on lecture notes - doodling rocks!)

i can realy see how youve improved and youve given me insperation

 

[Siobhan]

Aaah. Thanks.

Though I stopped for a long while. Have been settling into university, cursing the workload, and generally forgetting to cook for the last few months. They have a nice little anime club though...

Just started drawing again, though I'm now learning a new version of Photoshop and also learning to cope without a scanner... Finished a new lineart last night:

Ah well. It was back to basics here, trying to get the face, hands and expressions right!
