Description I spent six hours on this, but I think I'm kinda proud with the way it turned out. (:

This took forever to upload correctly. T__T Thanks to AlleyCreek for helping me out. :'D

Great attention to detail, especially the creases on her top. Also, well done contrasting the red hair to the rest of the picture. Stands out nicely.
Fantastic job!

Eh? You really like this one? The more I look at it the more I hate it. QQ

But thank you, really. I'm glad you like it! I did focus mainly both on the lighting/shading and the contrast of hair. c:

Yep, absolutely. Not just that though, something about this makes me feel happy. I dont know what, but it's probably her sly-ish smile and mysterious expression, which makes me wonder what she's thinking about.
And oh yeh, the boobs are nice too.

Mysterious expression, hm? That reminds me of the Mona Lisa. I guess her face does look pretty serene. I like that you thought that in-depth about this piece. c:

Lul. Boobs. Yes, delicious.

Mona lisa? Hmm, i guess there is quite a bit of resemblance when i think about it.
Then again, i changed my mind completely about Da vinci after playing ACH.

HA! I know. Six hours is a long time. But that's only because I'm so slow and my lines are all wobbly, so I've the urge to fix them over and over again. T__T Haha.

Thank you for the comments, critiques and suggestions! You're completely right about the breast part. I did add them in after drawing the basics of the body. xD The shading on her left breast is weird, I agree, but I guess I didn't notice it before. D: What do you mean about the tone of the hair? I actually only used on shade of red, but used lighter and darker tones. I tried to add some tones to the skin (adding browns and pinks to the peach), but it does still look too light with the white background, huh? Ehehe. What can I do about that.

I used a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet, with the Corel Painter Essentials 4 program. It's the only thing that I have, haha.

Ohhhh, I see, I see. But it's better to fix as you go! Nothing worse than finally finishing only to see something is off -- especially if you didn't think it was before X_X

AHA! I thought so! XD It's neat when you're right about little bits of detail XD
By tone of the hair I just think it would look better as that one shade but without the lighter/darker tones. I think the true color gets a little distorted by the lighter shades. If you used dark tones for like shadow, that would work but I think adding the light doesn't go as well.

Not much, actually, but just learn for next time? XD
I bet if you had a darker background it would only need a little bit more color to the skin to balance out well =]

Ohhh neat! How much did that kind of tablet cost?

You're very welcome!

Yeah, really though. It's extremely irritating when that happnens, and I just wanna throw the whole drawing out point blank. LOL.

Haha! Good job. I see how her boobs look a bit awkwarddd.
I understand what you're saying about the hair. O: So hard to color in braided hair. I'll pay attention to that next time, hehe. (:

>>> I need to draw tanner people. Problem solved. HAHA.
Oh, and the tablet was about $100. It was a Christmas present from two years ago. 8D

Wow! Six hours? That's some dedication right there!!

But I think it was worth it! This looks great!
I like the pose a lot and I love how you did the hair, the color is great and the detail on it is marvelous as well!
I like how you played with the tones of it, though I would be curious to see what the color would look like if it was a one-toned kind of red. I do like the facial expression though, and the color of the shirt is nice too. The shine and darkened tones to it kind of make me think of something metallic.

I do think the breasts look a little odd here though, to me, it just appears that you drew the body first, then added in the breasts after. I think it's a little odd especially in that left side, with that defining line there. But, then again, I'm not an expert on breasts XD

I think if you added some more color to the skin itself it'd look nicer too, just because the background is also pretty bright so it counter-acts with the figure in a negative way.

BUT the essence of it is good. I can tell that you put effort into it, and it's even better that you kept at it!

And....Oh! What kind of instrument did you use to make this?
