Long time no pictures!

This is a birthday picture for my dear friend noke89 . She loves everything related to lolitas, so of course I drew her one. Lolitas are so cute! I let her choose the colors for the dress, which was light pink and red. Apparently she really likes this combination at the moment.

I have really started to enjoy using water colors, which this picture was mainly colored with. I hardly use my Copic Ciao markers anymore… The background is a photo that I actually took for a camera course at school. The photo is taken from Munkkiniemi, where I lived when this picture was taken. Oh yeah, Munkkiniemi is a part of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. “Munkki” means monk or doughnut, haha. There are nice cafeterias here, mmm.

I have really started to take interest in combining my characters with real photos for backgrounds. The snowflakes were added later on in this picture, but the photo was taken on winter. On the right side of the background you can see the number 4 tram, which goes straight to the city center.

I’m really happy with this picture, love to hear your comments about it!
