Description It's a geisha! Yeah, this pretty much sums up my interest in geishas and their pretty pretty kimonos I always wanted to wear a kimono... so wat if i'm chinese! personally, cheongsam, or qipao are cool too but kimonos are much more...uh...fluffy?

I sketched the basic pic down w/ mech pencil, outlined w/ a pen...and then there was the patterns... The patterns were based entirely on imagination, so if it's not traditional or watnot i can't do anything now...>_< The flowers were hell but the other ones were fun to do. And my fav part of the pic would be the hair SHINY!!

btw I did these when I was listening to Phantom of the Opera the movie soundtrack cuz i just watched the movie--- AND IT'S FRICKING AMAZING!!!!XD but to be honest, the music and the picture didn't really go together^^lll *kimonos.....the phantom of the oper-a is heeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrree!!!*

Materials: paper, mech pencil, sakura pigment pen, PS 7.0 for touch-up, copic markers.

This is really very beautiful. All from the imagination, you said? Very, very impressive. You've really captured her fluid, graceful movement.

thanks. actually i did the pattern and girl by imagination, but for the kimono i had to look up cuz of the layers/accessories... Yeah, i tried making her all graceful but real-life geishas r wrapped w/ so many layers they can hardly move...

omg, I love this. You're so good with ink.
I really should do an ink drawing... but I'm too afraid I'll mess it up! How do you do it?

TT^TT thanks!
it's okay, just do a pencil sketch underneath, and then outline it with pen carefully. and if i think about messing up i probably will start spazzing and mess up so try to have a distraction while inking...X3

no, it's a parody of the PotO and can be seen on youtube but the quality isn't very good. The written parody can be found somewhere on the internet, but it's very funny.
