Description It's finally done!!!

Ahhh. This is probably the most ambitious drawing I've done in a while, aside from some commissions. For the sake of fun, I mixed media this time! It was drawn with pigma pens, copic markers, prismacolor pencils, white gel pen, white acrylic paint and shimmery gold ink. Yes, the parts that are yellow in the scan are actually a very vibrant, sparkling metallic gold in person.

I had way too much fun making this! It was one of those drawings that just seemed to come out of nowhere. I'm glad to have met this character, wherever the hell she came from. Also, as an added surprise, this was the first thing I drew in my new sketchbook. Go figure. XD

This is also a milestone for me, because I was able to do something I pretty much *never* do... I started out drawing this with a completely different head on the character, and when I realized it wasn't proportional (even though I REALLY liked it), I forced myself to erase the whole head and draw a new one. And it turned out better than before!! This has definitely helped me learn to trust in my own ability a bit more. <3

This is an original character, though, again, I have no idea who she is... perhaps some kind of sky pirate? Maybe I'll play around with her a bit more sometime. :3

Happy for you! When you realise taht your skills have noticably improved, not just for style but technique, that's a great thing. You were able to change something you didn't like beyond the drafting stage which is agonizing to do but I'm glad you managed to, otherwise it would have bugged you forever I'm guessing? Anyway, yay for personal improvement!

I think my favourite bit here is the design of the wings, they're so freaking cool!

Ahhh, thank you! I'm really happy about that... usually I just leave things as they are and they bug the shit out of me, but not this time!

And, thanks! <3 The wings were a lot of fun... I love drawing wings, and it was nice to do something other than regular bird wings!

Also, uh, if you want to see what it looked like before I changed it, I have the sketch here... img.photobucket.com/albums/v12…
That would have bothered me SO much, argh, I am so glad I changed it. XD
