Description ...except it's not really in progress since I haven't touched it in a month or so...

The lighting is a bit weird since I haven't added the dark background yet...and now that I look at it, her face seems off. ]=

I guess no one caught my "hidden" kiriban. *secretly happy because she has no time at all to draw...or even finish all her homework*

Tools: mostly Crayola color pencils, some Prismacolor, Sakura Micron pen

Looks great so far! I love the subtle shading and pale effect on it, and the hair and eye coloring is so shiny and pink and pretty XP Great job, can't wait to see it finished!

You really did a nice job with this one Love the outfit!

The only thing that seems a bit off are the eye brows... I don't know why but the left one sees to be too close the to the right one.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Wow, awesome job on the colouring. Loves t3e outfit. Still. ^^

The thing with her face is that I think her left eye (to her) is a little too far to the left (again to her.^^)

But not really that noticeable and it still es awesome.

I mostly used Crayola, but if I needed a more saturated color, I used Prismacolor. If I hadn't lucked out and found those cheap ones ($17 for a 48 set!!), I'd never, ever own any. ^^ I'm trying my best not to kill those Prismacolors too soon...

Aren't they like heavan?! <3 I need to replenish my set soon... most of them are as long as a finger. :3
But I can't do anything with Crayola. Hats off to you!

Icesplendor In reply to SkeletalWings [2007-09-16 01:53:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, they are really nice. ^^ I wish I could have gotten them sooner!
The trick with Crayola is that you need to press haaaaaaaaaaaaard. %D

But I hate pressing hard with color pencil...

WHY DO YOU HAVE TIME TO BE POSTING/??!! *jealous* *needs more time to draw*

Yayyyyyyy for Arietta~! I really like all those different colors you used in her hair~

Huuu, her face bothers me though. @___@ Like... her hairline doesn't curve with her head, so it makes her forehead look bigger on the right. Or maybe her left eye is too far over? @___@;; I think you should have lowered her hairline, too. It'd make her look younger/cuter. And, I think her right leg is too far over. o___O;;

But your coloring skillz make it look so l33t. *o*

Uh...I have time to waste here on dA, just not enough time to seriously draw stuff. OTL Pretty ghey.

Oh yeeeeeeeeah...I forgot to mention that I drew her legs completely off. I meant to cut them off, but I missed LOL. I wonder if I can still fix her face...if I ever get back to this picture.

Wow! What did you color it with? Prismacolors?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Icesplendor In reply to rinia [2007-09-15 23:28:37 +0000 UTC]

I mostly use Crayola, but I use Prismacolor if I need a more saturated color than Crayola can offer. I'd use Primacolors more if I could afford them! xD;; I only have the ones I do because I found a 48 set for $17. *feels extremely lucky* I may have gotten them cheap, but I still want to preserve them for as long as possible.

Wow, well that's very, very good for Crayola. XD
I can't even do that with my Prismacolors....

Icesplendor In reply to rinia [2007-09-15 23:34:58 +0000 UTC]

Don't worry; all it takes is practice - lots and lots of practice! ^^ Personally, I don't think the brand of color pencils should matter too much in the end. When I only had Crayola, it may have taken me longer to finish (since you need to press really hard for Crayola's colors to get saturated), but I was basically able to color the same way.

Don't give up - keep improving!
