Nana Osaki [Final Piece]

Nana Osaki from NANA x) I haven't seen the anime; I've read a little bit of the manga and seen the first movie and.. wow. Mika Nakashima is the most perfect person to play Nana O, it's untrue o-o

Idk. I guess I thought I'd do a little tribute art xD

I sketched/inked it the night before last, and coloured it yesterday.. I think it took about 4 hours in total :) I had fun with it, and the only thing that hindered my progress was the paper bleeding continually (even though it's supposed to be bleedproof *sigh* ¬_¬ ) so.. yes. There was quite a lot of colour bleeding over the outside lines (which I edited out here..).. I guess its not too bad but it is noticeable and really annoyed me :/

The pleated skirt was so much fun to do. I've never coloured taertan before but damn, it's so immensely awesome to do I may just have to draw it again sometime soon xDDDD <33333333>

Cloud Strife

A little doodle I did on Christmas Day ^_^ I love drawing Cloud, he's totally schmexy <3>

"Lonely Horizons" [Finished Piece] + "Ascend" [WIP]

This is the finished version of the last work I showed, titled Lonely Horizons. Had a lot of fun doing this even though it's quite a personal piece :/ I deliberately posted this on DeviantART on "Valentines Day". Anyway. Enjoy.

Secondly I have a sketch of a picture I'll be titling "Ascend". Currently lining this in Photshop :)

Anyway, that's all for now. Enjoy!

WIP [No title yet]

I've had some trying times recently, especially this past month. It's kind of been.. hell. I've been drawing a lot of personal things lately and this is one such thing. I sketched it last night, and this is the result of an hour or two of painting. It looks very different from the sketch actually - the character here has a much more mature facial structure, whereas the one in the sketch seemed much younger and had freckles.. Idk. I just go with the flow lol. Either way I'm pretty proud of it so far, and I hope I manage to finish it soon. Thought I'd post a preview of what I had so far, anyway.

Enjoy

Blending practice (with Letraset Markers)

Ok, so this one was a pen doodle in my sketchpad so I could try and improve using my Letraset marker pens. Theyre.. really crap, honestly o-o; Very hard to blend and they dry very quickly - Ideally Id love copics, I usually use Prismacolours though, which are cheaper but do work well. Ive had prismas for a while, so I need to get used to my Letrasets because I use them together. The only reason I have them is because I had no skin colours (or reds) whatsoever and they were the only markers available at the time, so I bought a few. So, uh.. yes. Need to practice with them, and this was a little quick try :)

It actually looks really pretty IRL. The cloours blend really smoothly and everything looks very bright and colourful so.. yes. T'is hopeful :D

...Man I really want some copics though.. ^_^;

Anyway, enjoy :)
