Description MY 700TH DEVIATION!!!

Here's a "one-of-a-kind" picture I drew of a very well-known "Magicial Girl" anime character... Cardcaptor Sakura, in "Opening 1" costume! Since I remember drawing her back in early January of 2010 but in her "Opening 3" costume ([link] ), I decided that I wanted to try drawing her once again.

This was enjoyable to draw, but almost quite a challenge... I've struggled with a few parts of the character's features while drawing on paper, such as with the costume details, headpiece (hat), and her pose (especially with her hand/fingers). Considering that this was my second time making a "Cardcaptor Sakura" artpiece, I don't really think that I did a bad job, but could always work hard enough to get a bit better at it.

I'm very pleased with the finishing result of this artpiece, and I especially think Kero turned out really cute as well.

I hope that you'll enjoy this, everybody!

Drawn on 11x8 1/2 sketchpad, with a No. 2 pencil (and in my own traditional art style), fixed, cleaned-up, colored & shaded by using Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edtion 3.0., and finalized on MS Paint (for thin boarder, colored bubbles, and artists' signature). The background was made on Adobe Photoshop CS3, and added on & color-saturated to red by using Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edtion 3.0.

You did an amazing job on her outfit and wand.Looks SO hard to draw! I like how you made Sakura's hair all shiney!

Thank you so much, I'm very glad you think so! This was quite a challenge for me at first, especially since her outfit had to be one of the hardest parts to capture perfectly, but I'm really pleased with how the certain details came out, even on her big flowing skirt. The way I've colored and shaded in the whole lineart makes me happy, even with how her hair turned out, since coloring & shading is possibly one of my most favorite parts of making artpieces. Thank you, once again!

I envy how good you are at her clothes, and yes they seem to be the hardest part. You're welcome LOTS.

I've never read the manga, but I remember seeing the anime. I've had a doll of a character from the series named Meilin, and I still have her. Thank you so much! I'm very glad that you like this artpiece!
