Description I am in love with this. I have no real shame in saying this, because to me, this piece shows I can improve. It started with me trying to re-sketch a pose I did before, finally realising it would look great for this art trade with *lizjowen I'm doing. I wanted Mimi to still look cute, but also have the slightly sexy look I give my characters, this pose allowed me to achieve such things. There are points which still need improving, such as the general look of her arm and the hands, but otherwise I'm really happy with this piece. Hopefully I'll keep improving, maybe one day I'll remake this! My next focus on style is the eyes, I feel they should be more detailed, and generally the anatomy needs improving all over. But I'll get there.

To colour, I used crayola pencils and crayons to colour Mimi herself, finishing it with windsor and newton watercolours and makeup sponges for the background.

I hope you like it as much as I do!! Here's the original picture I used for reference to Mimi, if anyone is interested: lizjowen.deviantart.com/art/Mi…

I really enjoyed reading your description because it's awesome that you're able to love your work so much despite any flaws, a lot of people hate their own work.Either way I think this is really cute, I love her umbrella and it's awesome how you made all of those mediums blend together ^ ^
