Description Another nature spirit. I'm very pleased with how the inking turned out. Most of it was done at school.

I don't think I'm going to try and color this one since it looks too complicated. Once again I've gone overboard with the hair! It never fails-I can always get more creative with it.

ANYONE IS WELCOME TO COLOR HIM ^^

Mediums used: Zig pens on Cardstock, lots of patience.

Amazing! I love how you did the hair. There can never be too much hair! I can see how it took you a long time. And the inking looks great!

This one sort of gives you a headache after you look at it for too long, most of this was done in class, I listen better to the teacher when I'm working on a drawing.
Inking can really rattle your nerves! I tend to be a perfectionist, so when I mess up I'm like AHHH!
Pencils are much less stressful for me ^^

wow, I really like this peice (there is a very special place in my heart for lineart) Its so full of movement, and the lines kind of remind me of smoke from a candel, the way it twists and curves.

I love lineart so much-it is so wonderful!
It does sort of look like smoke-it's fun to see what people can pick out in positive and negative spaces ^^
Thank you very much!

Wonderful as always. I love the way you do your hair. Just one question however. Your male characters are always awsome but I don't think I've seen many (if any) female characters. Is there a reason?

Aikya In reply to lonelydemon07 [2007-12-17 06:21:33 +0000 UTC]

^^ Thanks! I just like to draw male characters-their bodies are so much more interesting than female characters for me. I don't really know why, but I'm sure sooner or later I'll start drawing women again. I used to more when I was younger

Awesome hair The lineart is so clean and neat. How did you do that? I got too scare to ink my lineart so I just use ballpen.

Aikya In reply to MsYunni [2007-11-26 23:04:19 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! ^^ Hair is always so much fun to experiment with
I just practice a lot. I use Zig or Micron pens on Cardstock. I think the paper really makes a difference when your inking. Use a paper that doesn't have a lot of tooth to it so you can get nice smooth lines, then erase any pencil lines that show through!

MsYunni In reply to Aikya [2007-11-27 01:27:46 +0000 UTC]

IS that so? Ok, I think I'll try different papers next time. Thank you for the advice

Wild!! If you wanted color it would look cool (imo) done in light washes - watercolor or marker...
But it looks great just in b&w
- have you considered making a coloring book? these are so cool!

Aikya In reply to tylarking [2007-11-24 06:39:30 +0000 UTC]

Would you like to give a shot at coloring him with watercolors? You're so good at them! ^^
That's so funny, I have thought about making a coloring book! XD Wouldn't that be awesome?

tylarking In reply to Aikya [2007-11-27 01:50:11 +0000 UTC]

lovely idea, Aikya I have an idea on that note - would you like to do one as sort of a fun 'collaboration' ? Either with your Nature or another - you do the lovely linework, I color/fill in, and we both post in our galleries as a collab between us? (Would be my first collaboration!) What do you think?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Aikya In reply to tylarking [2007-11-27 03:45:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh my goodness that would be so much fun! I have the perfect picture for us to work on together. I've been bringing it with me to school to work on and I think I'm ready to scan it in. I'll do so soon and you can tell me what you think. We could even think out a possible color scheme! I'm so happy you want to do a collaboration with me.

tylarking In reply to Aikya [2007-11-27 10:04:50 +0000 UTC]

Hi Aikya Aw, don't worry about it at all - the point really is just to do our thing and have some fun. You just take your time and do whatever you want with your lovely linework - and if you have an idea of how you want it to feel color wise you can run it by me; then I'll take it into PS and have some fun! THat said, I still can imagine, if you compiled enough of these into a theme, you could make yourself a nice coloring book, for sure.

That makes me so happy! It's so cool that we're going to do this ^^ I will one day make a coloring book! Once there are enough linearts to put into it that's what I'm going to do! Thanks so much for your support!
