Description Please comment if you fav!

This is ~cherrykat ’s inked request for coming in third place in my coloring contest! It’s her very lovely character Cherri, the Bitter Beauty, looking not so bitter!

I was trying to make it look like a comic panel, but it probably doesn’t. However, I do like the simply pose, I was able to pack some details into it, and it is good to get back to basics at times!

So you know that time at the end of summer, where the sky starts to have a colder light, and the sunshine looks orange, because autumn is right around the corner? Yeah, I do too, and so does Cherri in this picture. Sure it’s still hot, but it’ll start cooling down soon enough, and I can almost taste fall.

I get asked what brand of pens I use to ink these and they are called Staedtler. I’ve only found them at Michaels art stores, which isn’t so bad because I have one about 10 minutes away.

Hope you like Cherry!

Don’t steal either of them.

I love the way her hair flows, especially how it falls over the one eye. The detail work is just stunning - all the lace and laces (ribbons?) are lovely and add some really nice texture. The composition with the panel, the text, the leaves (?) and the lack of colour are REALLY effective and make for a strong impact. Great work!

How cool! I don't know if you left it black and white on purpose or not, but it really helps this picture - at least I think so ^w^; It actually did kind of remind me of a comic panel. Kinda like an intermission/transition page in a manga.

This is so beautiful, I've never done an ink-only before but your ink work is sooo inspirational. I LOVE her skirt, I wants it. *steals* She can walk around wearing her (probably very rad) panties for all I care. LOL! And it looks so pretty as a whole, the little cherry blossom petals/leaves/whatever they are add the perfect little touch to the picture. The hair is, as always, VERY beautiful, I LOVE this!! <3<3

Wow. Everthing about this picture is amazing. Vanilla, The weird thing is. I have streaks in my hair in almost the same places as her. xD

I love her boots, and her shirt as well. It's amazing. I want clothes like that.

once again, beautiful! I always love the details you put in the outfits, like the ruffles and unique shadings <3 plus, in this picture, her emotion and the 'feel of it' is really interpretated by her emotion, but also by the tail! thats just such cool! and her hair is beautiful, by the way. how you shaded the dark is nice :3 everything about the picture seems so wispy, which I suppose autumn is too ^^ great job again, vanilla!

Oh, I thinks it looks a comic panel-y enough, and thus is cool. Love the excellent sad face, and the falling pedals! ^___^
