Description Featuring Madeleine Desrosiers, one of my OCs from a story I'm writing One of my oldest, circa 2004. I call the guys from this series my Ensemble.

Madeleine (pronounced Mah-dell-lane) is a very cheerful girl. Like a ball of sunshine. Or a firetruck... Anyways, she's very school smart and generally nice to everyone, but the downfall to her character is that she's very insecure, and tends to follow every single trend imaginable in a desperate attempt to "fit in". She often is caught between two decisions and can't decide whether to follow the crowd or follow herself. Because of this blatant flaw, she fretfully finds herself on the short end of the stick for most of everything she does...

However, Maddie is very forgiving and doesn't like to hold grudges; she's patient, and though her moments of insecurity are almost loaded with despair, the fact that she is willing to accept anyone is a very appealing part of her. She will never rock the boat and never pick a fight. Maddie is very warm and eager, almost like a little animal, but despite her naivete she is also very conscious of when it is the right time to say something and when it's time to keep her mouth shut. Out of the entire ensemble, aside from Yoshua, Madeleine is usually the most light-hearted.

She's got white freesias. Freesias represent innocence, thoughtfulness, trust, perseverance, and sweetness. I figgured these flowers really matched her sort of naive, bright personality, and they are probably her favourite flowers.

she's so pretty!
YOU COLOUR HAIR AMAZINGLY plus the flowers are so beautiful as always!
black pencil crayons are so mean D:< i usually don't use them because i'm sure,totally sure i'd mess up with something.
i have the bad habit of keeping on touching the paper with my and and wrist while coloring,so colours mix up on the paper -.-

why do i always go out of theme when i write a comment?

you should be proud of these works,Sophia

WAHHH you know what, the hair was from years and years of practice and even digital art I used to colour it like one massive blob of hair-shape with only shade at the bottom, oh my! I love how art improves. (y) XD

OH! Um, the colouring problem: I usually keep a spare piece of paper under my hand while I do anything traditional (unless it's an upright canvas, which is easier to not-screw-up but harder to draw -_-) it separates your skin from the medium, and is very helpful

I like you going out of theme You make me happy because you say so much 8D

this reminds me of my old times colouring following CLAMP's or Rumiko's style 8D plastic hair oh yeah XD
i love how you colour them right now!

i know that trick D: but the paper always got so dirt that the drawing was used to be gray,so i stopped using it D: pencil doesn't love me >_>

aww thank you you're one of the first people who told me so

RUMIKO TAKAHASHI?! Inuyasha's artist, right? And CLAMP has officially been one of the biggest influences of art in my life... Kaori Yuki, too It's hard to love someone's art and try not to draw like them... -sigh-

Aww! Do you doodle with pen? It's trickier but clean... ahaha, but hard to fix -_- Pen doesn't love me, I suppose Pencil's nicer

(MORE PEOPLE SHOULD TELL YOU SO 8D)

Thanks for the support~ And, yes, 11 hours... this was one of the fastest pieces I've finished ;_; maybe it's because I'm slow, but a digital piece usually takes me 20-50 hours... less for traditional. I guess I can say traditional is faster?
