Description Inspired by the gorgeous lolita costume my mom made for me.

I had initially planned on putting big, glittering baroque windows in the background, but since I had colored her first and did not have a solid game plan for the background, I decided to go with a gradient to bring out the light blue in the cameos and eyes. It is a safe and simple way to direct more attention towards the subject.


PS: Even though the camera makes it look flat and fuzzy, I really like this piece. Please pay attention to the line weight and shimmering colors. >w<

I am particularly impressed by the line weight and shimmering colors!

Seriously, though: very well done. The way you've shaded her makes her look like an actual solid being. It's like she's about to pop off the page!

Also: curly hair!
