You are my favourite artist of the Bella Sara series and I'm glad to have found you on DeviantART! This is a great card, I do love your colouring/line style. The mane and tails you draw are always so flowy, it's pleasing to view!

Thanks a lot.
I didn't draw a lot of horses before starting to work for Bella Sara, so hair is one of the things I *knew* better than all the other parts of the anatomy. So I guess you can say that I like to play to my strengths. Few girls doesn't like long flowing hair.

Well, you're sure good at horse anatomy; it's something I've always admired.

Thanks.
I've ended up with quite the collection of horse photos I've taken at various places. Just to have some references to go by.

So how do you go about making one of these drawings? Do you sketch it straight in Photoshop(or whatever digital program you use), or on a piece of paper then scan it in?

On Moonfairies and Baby Bella they are all digital.
The pictures with black lineart are made, where I draw the lineart with Sakura micron pigment ink on drawing paper, scans it, and colours on computer.

Would you freak out if I said I have this card and it's one of my favorites? XD

I'm not an expert at Japanese, but I'm pretty sure you got the katakana right.

Konfu is gorgeous!

Technically the copyright belongs to the owners of Bella Sara. You'd have to ask them.

However, DA's rules rather clearly says that you are not allowed to post things that you have not made yourself unless they are stock. That means: No photos from TV-shows, and no scannings of Bella Sara cards. If I was you I'd clean up my gallery, as you are seriously breaking DA's TOS.

I love all the details in this. ^_ ^ And the shading is amazing!
Those Cherry blossoms must've taken you a while, they look great.

Thanks a lot. The cheery blossoms did take a while, but... I did NOT make each and one of them individually. I made about 3 different flowers, placed those together in 2-3different forms of gatherings, and then I started with the pasting. It is all hand made, and the groups were so small it did take some time, but still... Better than doing every single one from scrap.

That certianley cuts down on time, what a clever idea! XD

More like a logic and time saving idea. Not like it's really original. The only bad part about it was, that I didn't bother to make them into brushes like most clever people would do.

It better not. I translated this myself with the help of an "alphabet table" and a homepage, that would tell you hove to "write a western sound in Japanese".
