Description First of all, not happy with this one.. I used oil pastels to color the skin and it turned out horrible.. It kept getting mixed with the black outline and the color turned out to be very dark and had black lines at some places..   
But other than that, everything went well and I was quite happy with the result..    I've seen this drawing a lot of places.. I hope mine's good enough..
Oh and I referred to and 's versions.. I hope you check them out too!     

One advice : Oil pastels and watercolor pencils never work well together.. I had to learn it the hard way..

IMO this is perfect XD I mean serieusly I love the lineart which most people got wrong in this drawing <3 <3 and also the colours are really good!!! I never used oil pastels (I only use make up and watercolours) so I dont know what it really is XD but it looks great!!!

Sakura-LM In reply to maha-xx [2014-05-13 06:23:44 +0000 UTC]

Haha..  Thank you sooooo much! I recommend you do not use oil pastels, without the proper knowledge of their use.. They can sometimes mess up the drawing since we're not familiar with its textures and uses, cause we prefer color pencils..   
I'm happy it doesn't look as horrible as it first was. I guess the colors at the hair and jacket overshadowed the skin..

I understand. With my tan colored pencil,
it constantly mixes with the black outlines.
It's a pain...   

I love the pained expression on Eren!
It signifies his mental anguish.

So glad someone understands! I really was in a fix!   

Thank you very much.. I feel this picture carries a lot of meaning to the ones who look deeper into it.. Aside from the story itself, this picture carries a whole new different story.. 

sorry for getting so philosophical.. I do that sometimes..

You're welcome and it's okay to be philosophical!  
It's good to look into things at a deeper meaning than just the obvious
because our ways of thinking might change after reflecting on the meaning
behind the words or art.

True! I totally feel that way! Words and art have the power to change us, don't they?

Misaki-Kurenai In reply to Sakura-LM [2014-05-14 14:33:22 +0000 UTC]

Yes. Things will only change if we take a stand together
and do something about it. Whether if we use our words of protest/encouragement,
or show the world the +/- sides of the scene. Things will change if we speak out.
