Description I was looking through an old sketchbook when I found this genie. Since I'm having a hard time getting back into the swing of things artistically (translation: "artist's block has hit me HARD"), I thought I'd post her so you guys at least have something new to look at. I really like her outfit, and as I recall, the ears were the whole reason I drew this picture I hope you guys like her.

(I will have some new stuff for you guys within the week, I hope. I have tons of ideas - it's just the connection between brain and hand that seems to be on the fritz )

I love the clarity in the lines and the clean composition ^^

You do cloth and fabric really well!

I know what it's like to have writer's block, man; I'm suffering from it myself right now.

Aww, that's too bad I hate artist's/writer's block. It is terribly frustrating to have no ideas. Or worse, to have LOTS of ideas, yet not be able to get them drawn/written down...

Thanks!

That is... not a piece of advice I've ever heard before (I will have to see if it actually works...)

O: I love the ears and the shading! That head veil thing is cool too.

Thank you very much! I thought so too, which is why I posted it. I don't know that I've ever drawn a veil on any other character, so it's interesting that I put it on this one. But that's why I look through those old sketchbooks. Even when you're just starting out, you have that spark of genius - it just takes time and practice to make it appear more regularly. (That sounded kind of vain, but I didn't mean it that way. That principle applies to every artist )

Ah, I love this so much! Her ears are so cute, and she's really pretty.
Faved! (because my boyfriend has a genie OC and I could use this for reference in posing) ^^
Very nice work.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked her. I've got other genies in here too, if you need more posing reference stuff. However, I think they're all female, so if your bf's genie is a guy, they may not be as helpful

Oh, duh. I should draw a GUY genie next! Thanks for the idea.

I looked through them, I saw a few different ones, they're really good. His character is a male, but I could always use posing help x.x;; Bodies don't like working for me when I try to draw them. xD; I drew him actually, his name's Almani [link]
Hehe, don't mention it ^^ You're free to draw him if you want to ;D (i'm always trying to get more art for him)
