Description ^^ This started as a butt kicking thing I just wanted to do. If I didnt do this i would get artist block like crazy which would eventually piss me off^^

First it was a disaster so i gave up but then my friends came and we went out. I was able to relax ^^ to finally hang out with my dear friends who i havnt seen in sooo long (just chat myspace etc.)

Then I opened myspace typed anime and found this nice song called Its Only A Fairy Tale^^

I then remembered when i was younger I was actually more into adventure anime. You know magical girls, wizards, cute critters nothing like naruto or shoujo anime... kinda

I am talking about heavy duty adventure anime like Magic Knight Reyearth and stuff^^ Ahh and it brought me to this. Okay doing the hair was wonderfully fun!! I finally found the right brush to do the hair^^

Its not the best but it is certainly an improvement from my past versions of doing hair^^

Then doing the skin made me twitch so i skipped that and went to do the dress. It was right on the spot to do a simple dress. I did it without thinking and I think it is one of the most beautiful dresses ever^^ I would want one!!! ITs very simple very spring etc.

Now the skin burr -_- It was evil at first then i started to tweek it until i found the right one. I have to admit it is an improvement.


On the background. I wasnt sure again but i wanted something soft^^ Actually im happy with how it turned out. Just gotta find the right splatter brushes though ^^ But its okay^^ The idea was suppose to be very femine and soft^^

Overally Its not the best drawing ever in this world but im proud of it because it was an improvement^^

The shading is very beautifully done and soft - I really like it. Lovely work! I think you're already doing a nice job of shading, so I doubt I could teach you much - you just have to keep practicing, and not be afraid to try new and different things as you practice. It doesn't hurt to observe the shading on real objects, either, and try to imitate that - I think practicing with observation from real life is the most helpful kind of practice you can do. (Though - I don't do it that much - which is why my shading and anatomy and things are so awful! x.x I'm lazy and I only draw for fun... so I can get away with it. XD I wouldn't claim to be a good artist by any stretch of the imagination! Just someone having fun with pencil, Photoshop, and occasionally inks and markers and colored pencils. )

I'm amazed with your soft touch, it seems as though I'm looking at the world through rose colored glasses. I love the embroidery on the dress, and the flower buds. The hair must have taken you ages!

Okay, so you don't have to go all the way to comment and say thanks on my profile page xD:
I really like the skin! Did you outline it in color or colored over a draft? Anyway, it looks soft yet not too blurred at the same time. :3 Hehe, also the hair is very cute! ^^
Wah, tell me what you did to get the skin, make a tutorial or something.
It's looks awesome!

ha ha ha I really cant help but say thanks all the time. What I did mostly was simple. Just color the base skin color then put the shadow that is a tad bit darker but rather than shadows kinda being skinny and barely shown i spreaded it out more kinda when you spill water then i glossian blur it ^^ and i keep on doing that till i find the right tone.

Yeah I know it was kinda blurry i kinda over did it at the end touching it up^^
but sometimes dont you get that feeling that you still need to do more stuff^^
