Description Okay, I've finished it. Over one and a half years after uploading the first WIP, I finished this in two days XD

I hate my scanner. I really do ;_;
Especially the flowers in her hair (plastic stuff, I guess XD) look terrible thanks to the scan. I mean, it isn't perfect in original either, but better than THAT...

And other details like shading are killed... But it could be worse. Maybe I'll replace the scan sometime.

Hope you like it. Back when I started this, I used only mechanical pencil. And lately I couldn't find my other pencils XD
So skin and hair and fan are completely in mech. Shirt in graphit and flowers in coloured pencils.
Who finds the other red spots?! XD
In the scan... No one, I guess

What else?
Oh yes... since the WIP yesterday I changed a whole lot on the fan. I didn't like the flowers on it, so I erased them and went with some filligrane something and a few holes here and there. Maybe visible
It's a wooden one so YES, it is intended to show the strings of my pencil. This is STRUCTURE.


Well... hope you guys like it. Sorry it took me such long to finish some actual drawing.
And thanks, if you read so far.

Concerning comments on other of my drawings I came to the matter that around 90% not even care for the artist's comment XD

Firstly, I want to apologize for being gone and not talking to you for over about 2 months. It has been some hectic times for me, moving to college and getting adjusted and used to classes. My routine is still a little off. But, nevertheless, I hope to be back more often and I am sorry to hear that you may need a new computer. I know what a hassle and how expensive that can be, but maybe it will be for the best in the long-run.

On the other hand, this is a gorgeous drawing! I really love the angle and your proportions are very realistic for such a unique posture. Her dark (with a dash of red ) eyes are so penetrating to contrast the lighter parts of her features and that beautiful fan (the delicate folds are great!). The bit of color in the flowers really brings the focus in, and keeps it at the eyes. Great work, really you are improving more and more with each one!

Naaa, you don't have to apologize, really. As you see, I am very busy myself. I am visiting DA a lot, but I have no time to answer... or draw something new ...

I've got a new computer now. It works okay, but it's difficult to have Japanese Windows XD
I am really happy you like the drawing. And that my intention with the red in flowers and eyes doesn't miss it's effect
Thank you so much for your kind words, really.

How is college life treating you?

I'm glad you got a computer again and that little devlish cat is all better. I know what its like to have a little kitty who likes to scare us and get into trouble.

College life is ok, boring actually but the school part is going well. I really get along with my roommate so that is one big plus but I am considering transferring schools after this year so I can create my own major. I kinda want to get into medical illustration but my dream is to do a little traveling as well. Who knows, maybe I'll make it to Japan sooner than I think
How about you? Is work going well?

Oooh it's finally finished! I'm glad you didn't give up. I see what the scanner did, but it's still visible what you achieved with this. Don't get discouraged by technology please, it can be mastered and I'm sure you'll soon be able to adjust that machine to show the full extent of your skills. This lady is beautiful!

ShirubaaNeko In reply to Hisietari [2010-08-25 15:45:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, who'd thought I would actually finish it and then in not even two days after one year
You know, you've been right with your comment on the WIP... I somehow like to draw her. Think, I really have to make another one ^^
Mmm... maybe one day I'll master the scanner... Have to admit that I am not very patient with spending too much time scan it over and over again

Just happy, if you like it a bit

HALsurfer [2010-08-14 15:28:07 +0000 UTC]

The flowers look better this way and I think your scanner ate the other red spot.
Have you tried correcting lights and contrast?
This is what helps with my works.
=^.~=

It is an amazing piece of art!
I love her face.

ShirubaaNeko In reply to HALsurfer [2010-08-25 15:47:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. Happy the flowers are not totally messed up.
Yeah, I've tried. I think, I have to rescan it some day later.
Thank you for the suggestion ^-^v

And so so so many thanks for liking it

HALsurfer In reply to ShirubaaNeko [2010-08-25 15:50:41 +0000 UTC]

Your very welcome!
When you look at some of my pieces you see that my scanner also loves to eat colors.
I try to save them digitally later but sometimes I don´t have a chance.
=^.^"=

Don´t thank me for liking it because now I have to thank you for making it!

Odariz [2010-08-14 13:49:57 +0000 UTC]

It look absolutely gorgeous if you ask me. The colors are still vibrate, in the flowers. As well as the bit that appear to be in her eyes. Excellent work as always.

ShirubaaNeko In reply to Odariz [2010-08-25 15:48:13 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. I am really glad to read your kind words.
Yes, there is a bit red in her eyes. Im afraid it's only visible in one after the scan that makes her look odd O,o

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Odariz In reply to ShirubaaNeko [2010-08-26 16:46:22 +0000 UTC]

You are again welcome.

The color in the right is not very noticeable, you have to be looking for it. This however is countered by how clear it is in the left eye, which is bound to make you look at the right. So nothing to worry about. I really liked the colors added, they really made her face sort of pop. This helps so that the colors in the flowers do not grasp your attention, and make you ignore the face. Well done. :3

whitelapin [2010-08-14 10:44:55 +0000 UTC]

wow
also ich hab deine Bilder und sowieso alles total vernachlässigt hier... und diese Werke haben es definitiv verdient kommentiert zu werden. Dieses Bild ist sooo schön, wieder mit deiner ganzen Liebe zum Detail, und deiner schönen Bleistiftcolo! Echt wie bekommst du die Flächen denn bloß so ebenmäßig hin? Ich hock da immer so lange vor und es sieht trotzdem nach MÜll aus XD Und ich sag mal obwohl du jetzt nicht viele dunkle Partien im Gesicht hast, erkennt man trotzdem ganz sanft die Konturen, und das wirkt dann so schön! Auch wunderbar ist der Kontrast von dem Bleistift zu den roten Blumen *Q* wow!

ShirubaaNeko In reply to whitelapin [2010-08-25 15:54:34 +0000 UTC]

Oh man. Tut mir so Leid. Ich habe noch so viele Kommentare von dir zu beantworten und Bilder zu kommentieren m(-_-)m
Ich komme zu nichts und habe jetzt beinahe 600 Nachrichten @_@
PLUS die Deviations zum Kommentieren orz

Aaaaber genug davon. Vielen, vielen, vielen Dank für deinen lieben Kommentar. Du bist viel zu nachsichtig mit mir
Das Bild hier habe ich so lange liegen lassen, ich bin mir nicht mehr sicher, welchen Stift ich benutzt habe... ich glaube nur Druckbleier O,o
Normal nehme ich jetzt recht harte Stifte ab 9H für die unterste schicht und setze immer ein wenig weicher drüber, ums dunkler zu schattieren. So wirds nicht so strichig, wie nur Druckbleier. Aber ich muss das echt besser hinbekommen...
Es ist schwachsinn, aber ich mag nicht schmieren wie so viele andere. Also weiche stifte und dann einfach los mit taschentuch oder Blender. Bei denen siehts so gut aus und ich weiß dass es weit weit schneller geht, aber ich fühle mich dann, als würde ich betrügen
Jaaaa... ich hätte echt etwas mehr Kontrast reinbringen müssen. Einiges ist vom Scanner gefressen, aber ich habe hier wirklich nicht so schrecklich viel Schatten drin.
Bin wirklich froh wenn es dir gefällt und vor allem auch die Blumen. Irgendwie habe ich ein Fable dafür, ein wenig rot oder blau in meine Bleistiftzeichnungen zu geben XD
