Description
Requested by: - A drawing of her OCs Ryoko (right) and Yusaku (left) with Ryoko tending to Yusaku's wounds. She gave me this page as a reference - [link]Next request: ~Linaku
Well... I was gonna take today off since I drew PokΓ©mon comics the past 4 days... but I managed to sit down and finish this in one day as well. I haven't worked like this in a long time. :0
Anywhoo, I've been looking forward to this request. That page looked cute, the scene was cute and I wanted to draw something cute! I think it turned out pretty well. I'm just amused at how different our styles are.

Thank you!
I like to think I am on occasion, but then I feel conceited. :I
But it makes me so happy when other people think so and like I totally don't deserve the compliment. ;A;

I actually have you to thank for how my PokΓ©mon comics and art following turned out.
You had that color theory lesson and the colors were SO perfect! And I was staring at it trying to figure out why I couldn't color like that... and then my subconscious started pulling together all these little tidbits from the past and I learned how to color! I need to start with the BACKGROUND! I always added the background last, but could never get it to look right... so now I've been doing the opposite and it's fabulous.
You set off a chain reaction for me.

Oh wow! Awesome! Yes! I always started with the characters first too, but no. You need to start with the background colors and the others you take from that. Also another thing that completely blew my mind! if that drawing of the girl's at the sunset, all of the colors used are shades of yellow and orange. I did not use green! I used yellow! But against the oranges and other yellows, it looks green. The color on it's own is still just a shade of yellow. You can do that with almost anything. The drawing a posted right before that? The night scene? The only colors used were shades of blue ranging from purple to cyan. No green or brown in the whole thing. My mind was completely blown and now the possibilities for me are endless!
I was told to start with the main background color and then on the color wheel, you can move towards the color you want but never go completely to it. so if your starting color is orange and you want green, you stop at yellow. Or if your starting color is blue and you want brown, you stop in purple! It's amazing the effects. @.@ I still haven't figured out day scenes but night and sunset is amazing!

That is insane! I would have never guessed it wasn't actually green. :0
I'm gonna be using my PokΓ©mon comics as my playground for color theory (and story-telling/character development). >:3
But those tips are so useful. I will consider them as well.

Good luck! Once you start experimenting, it just opens your eyes to all the possibilities and it's insane! Have fun.

Great pic, and overall it's really well done. I'd just suggest using true black on the eyes (as in the outline and pupil) and making the shine in the eyes a bit more apparent; all this would do is make the characters seem even more lively than they already are

I've grown kinda fond of how not-black looks in the eyes. Then again, I am ridiculous.
That hand was hard to draw. I had to use my mirror to see how my own hand looked in that pose.

I wish I had the vision to use a mirror and be able to keep the image in my brain
