Description Merry Christmas, everyone! I finally got to play around with my Copics and drew something pretty. For this piece, I wanted to do something simple and elegant while focusing on the position of the character on the canvasβ€”I tend not to leave myself much room when drawing on a traditional canvas, and one of my artistic goals for now is to use canvas area effectively.

I was pleasantly surprised by how nicely her face turned out, and the fur has a lot of dimension thanks to the coloring. The one thing I would change are her hands; I tried to make them look realistic and they ended up looking a bit on the manly side! Ahahaha, I’ll just have to practice drawing hands more. (*^-^*)

Have a blessed, merry Christmas and happy New Year!

This is such a very beautiful piece! ^-^!
I LOVE the way you coloured it, and the pretty star she's holding

What type of paper and materials did you use??<3

Aw, thank you! That makes me really happy. *^u^*

Let's see...I use Copic Sketch markers for the coloring, Pigma Microns for the lineart, and paper from a Canson brand comic and manga drawing pad. The paper is 150 lb (250 gsm if you go by the metric system). Happy drawing! *^-^*/

nice drawing ^.^
I think she had a little too much hair at the back of her head. But nevertheless it is a nice drawing.

I hope you had a nice christmas time and I wish you a great new year!
