Description Bout time I did another practice sketch. I think the recent experiments with colouring and digital drawing might have caused my skills to degrade.

This time it is Chiba Kirino from the manga Bamboo Blade by Masahiro Totsuka and Aguri Igarashi. While the entire cast of Bamboo Blade is really fun to follow, Kirino's a definite favourite.

This was done using the cover of volume 8 of Bamboo Blade as a reference. I did this with my large sketchbook, so about 25% of the original sketch is cut off (in the full sketch, you can see up to her waist).

I did not create Kirino, she is a character that was created and belongs to Masahiro Totsuka and Aguri Igarashi.

Don't worry bout it. The sketch itself I did on a sketchbook and pencil. But the colour tinting of it was done in photoshop. Its a simple trick that is built in to the program, it's part of adjustment layers options, specifically the photo filter option. Hope that helps.

Thanks you for the comment and the . But I'll have to decline your invitation. I'm not sure when or if I will be doing any more Bamboo Blade art since this was a sketch I did for practice. But thank you for asking.
