Description
Goodbye this pose, I'l miss you. ;w;maybe use you again some time, hurrrr
Cleaning this up was a biiiiiiiiitch (@~@) It still doesn't looks as good as in Real Life, but I did the best I could. This damned paper in my sketchbook has too much tooth for how smudgy my art gets… OTL
THIS IS WHY I DON'T SCAN ANYTHING
As for the drawing itself… ahhhh… it's me. |D I have this rule that whenever I get a new book to draw in, I have to draw myseslf within the first one or two pages. This time it was on the second page, lord knows why.
It's weird, though, the one on the left actually looks like me. It's crazy. 8D;;
I might make this digital one day or otherwise clean it further… maybe… /shrug/
Drawn with .7 mm mechanical pencil and shaded with my trusty 2H. C:
Cleaned up in Photoshoppe CS2.

I like the texture in your pencilwork.
Digital is nice, but I will forever love the depth of graphite.

Now, about the "tooth" in your sketchbook, I have some tips, and not just purchasing a different grain of paper:
Consider using "stencil paper", or "see-through" paper.
Insert this between the drawings, and then, when you open the book later, your drawing won't have smudged onto the opposite page.
Also consider putting a cloth or napkin under your hand while you're drawing, on the part of your hand that rests on the page.
This will resist smudging, as long as you have control over your drawing method.

ano…? Requests, you say? Well, normally requests are just for friends, but if the idea piques my interest enough I might consider it.
What would you be asking for?
(thank you for the watch, btw, I appreciate it o7o/)

Your Welcome lol it was no problem 
First I will describe her so you get a feel for her- her hair is a deep dark shade of red [link] (hairstyle #1 is hers)
her dress is tighter and goes from her breasts to her knees and is all black but from the top to the bottom of her breasts is plum (so like it was cut out and she has a shirt on under it) with a red grape vine shape (like it grows on a fence.. in sheets and in the same color as her hair if possible)
her eyes are blue with a hint of green and one eye is hidden by her fringe
(and if you decide to go to her calves (please) she wears those things to hide her legs whatever their called
which i hope will be plum and grey
your signature can go on her dress in white, on her legs in white or anywhere else in white/black so that there is no way for me to steal your work (it can be uploaded on your profile(and should be) but im not posting it on the internet i don't think.. undecided
I hope You want to do this because it would mean the world to me and so much more!!
BEST regards,
Elliott

Oh, wow, what a lot of information! I appreciate you taking the time to write all that out c:
Do you mind if we move this conversation to a note, though? It'll be easier for me to keep track of everything that way.

Yay, traditional art!
This one is really nice, and I know exactly what you mean about cleaning up scans. It doesn't matter if there isn't a single smudge or how well you clean a scanner, there's so much stray junk that gets picked up by the machine. And pencil shading never looks as good as the real work. Unfortunately

It is traditional, iddn't it? I'm glad you like it. ^^
Gosh, yes, I hate it! (@~@) I have a really good scanner now, though, and better post-production skills now than in my scanning/traditional art heyday, so maybe I can do better with it. C:

I hope so… if this becomes a habit, I just might pull a Doodlezfreaky on you guys and get crazy popular off traditional sketches. C:

That would be awesome! You might not believe me, but once you've cleaned up your 50th or 100th sketch, it doesn't make your arm or wrist ache anymore :-D
