Description
This was explicitly for the purpose of practicing making solid inks over a large, loose sketch. Also was trying out a Bristol pad as opposed to regular drawing paper to see if I liked it. Likewise on the ink front, I experimented with making lines of a few different strengths. Ultimately I was pleased the end results were sharp enough I could easily color the simply scanned line-art without any extra effort to clean them! Huuuuge time saver!So, mission accomplished for this exercise, plus a funny expressioned Sal' with a raised eye-brow
Still want to develop more on this front of course! And it would've helped if I gave the colors an actual effort
You can see a far better colored version...

Why thank you! Sally is always one whose color scheme is up to the artist's interpretation. I try to stick closely to the classic comics though as those were truly my most favorite renditions of the whole gang

I really love the simplicty of your color pallet on Sally here! Here expression is very tomboyish, at that. c:

I think Sally is at her best both tom-boyish and responsibly/intelligently in authority. Especially since those traits kind of conflict yet balance each other in a character
I'm glad yourself and others can find the simplicity of my rushed colors to actually be a positive note ^^ Makes me feel not so bad about it. However I'm still very pleased that I posted the lines for others to feel free and do what I think to be better jobs at coloring them

True, it's always nice to have a mix. 
Oh, and I do agree on posting the lines!

How lovely!! I simply love her expression! It's the expression any determined warrior princess should have XDD
I love the colouring too! Simple yet eye-catching :3

Well I'm very glad the coloring could appeal to you then!
And a big yaaaay and a thank you for lovin her expressiveness

Thank you! I got a complimenting comment with Tony the tiger enthusiasm
I'm glad you like the expression, I always try to make something interesting in my pictures.

Wow Jay, you've gotten better!!! Love the expression and the lies, very fun!!

That's how Sal should be, fun and dynamic! I'm very delighted and modestly proud to have noticeably been improving 
It's amazing considering how actually very little I draw 
I'll have to keep trying to match your cleanliness of line-art though

THis is a very nice piece which certainly shows that your skills have grown a significant amount and through it a developed noticable style. You certainly have found your element with this piece with your take on Sally and it comes across as both animated and captivating with the way you've worked more with the facial gestures and telling much more of a story in your work. You have a strong style here that could certainly go the distance in time due to it feeling classic, but at the same different new and engaging by your own creative approaches.
Keep it up.

I think the style is taking hold more. Each doodle I make of Sally lately has been seeming more consistent with each other. This is something I've been hoping to develop eventually, that way someday somebody can just be browsing dA elsewhere and recognize "Hey! That looks like it was drawn by JayLesch... yup, sure enough!"
Likewise I've always strove to give my characters attention to keeping them from seeming static and boring, typically through facial expressions and body language. So I'm glad you find I succeeded in making Sally's face engaging here
I hope I do continue to "go the distance" with your constructive critiques bolstering me along the way! Thank you very much as always good sir!

Thank ya' very much! I'm glad you enjoy it

I love the expression here, the cockiness has so much character to it.
π: 0 β©: 1
That is Sally though right? She's a princess, but rather than stuffy and regal she's a cocky tom-boy. Which makes her personality fun! She has authority, but she's one of the fighters herself, with a dynamic visual range of emotions and expressions.
I'm glad you feel I captured that character, thank you very much
π: 0 β©: 1
It really is! She's a firm favourite of mine because they capture the "tomboy princess" appeal so well, it makes her very different to a lot of princess characters. I miss nineties cartoon females, they were so kick-ass. XD

Definitely
I like damsels that are capable of getting themselves out of distress

Why thank you, I enjoy drawing her from time to time
There be lots of superbly talented Sally artists here on dA, so I'm glad people can enjoy my art amongst them!

Wow, super nice! I just love the expression.

Thank yas old friend!
Was a rather spontaneously drawn expression, I'm glad it panned out and didn't become funky.
π: 0 β©: 1
Funky it is not. It really is lovely . . . you've improved so much in the time I've known you.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hey, I think an visual artist should do so notably all the time, I'd be upset if I seemed stagnant from year to year
But thank you Min, it's good to actually hear I've improved from somebody who's pretty much viewed my entire gallery in the making

Thank you very much dude!
I meant if only I gave the coloring specifically more effort rather than the quickie I pulled on it the image as a whole could've looked even better (such as in others like these [link] [link] [link] where I've paid extra attention to shading and lighting), but then again that wasn't the aim of this exercise for me and just the fairly flat color-job did the deed adequately! I'm very happy with the inked line-art itself though, that contrastingly was the focus of my effort
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I know you mean now! Put shading and other details into it. It's still a good job though
π: 0 β©: 0
Well then, I shoot for moving beyond perfection in that case
Thank you very much good sir!

Nice. I always get funny looks when I raise my eyebrow

A funny look in return for your funny look?
Well that's a little funny...
Thanks for viewing, enjoying, faving, and commenting friend!
