I just hate how the bottom part didn't come out as realistic as the top. ;/

Oh well. There's always next time!
Thanks a bunch, dear! It means a lot to me. <3333

Agree with Avel-Fairy here, I first saw the thumbnail and thought it was a photograph. You nailed the metallic lighting effect here.

OMG NO WAYY?!!

That makes me so happy you think so! I really tried to make it look realistic.
I worked pretty hard on it.

I admit, it wasn't easy with the high contrast...

Especially keeping the white, white, and the black, black.

Thank God for pastel pencils.
I couldn't have done it without them.

and thank you so much for the fave, sweetie.

that just made my day.
