Description Hey, all. I tried so many new things on this pic I don't know where to begin. Ref used. My penciling process was different, the feel was different, and I tried a new painting process in the background. I was going for the cool "brush stroke" look. I have a lot to learn. Ha! I think it turned out pretty well, not as well as I would have liked, but it's alright.

Thanks very much for all the comments, critiques, encouragement and support. I really do appreciate it and love you all. I've learned a lot during my time here, and I'm excited about the future. The best is yet to come!!
Thanks so much!

Gosh, beautiful.

The girl is so beautiful. Her face looks so cute and different, I love her short purple hair. I also love, and always loved, the way you draw clothes with folds and stuff. And the girl's body and all is pretty awesome. Also, I love the coloring style, it's so neat!

Wow man! Awesome job getting 75k in that short time . You deserve it by the way. I'm still jealous with the rate you improve and update your gallery. But at the same time, you provide me with almost daily inspiration to draw. Don't let me catch up to you, keep being my unreachable goal

this looks a lot like watercolors! Like you really made the paper damp for the background colors and had them bleed through, really great stuff!
