Please give me your opinion on this one, guys! It's really different from what I usually do, and I want to know what you think! ^^

I really let myself down on this one, i'm soo unhappy with the pigtails. This was just so hard. out of my skill range shall, I say. It's upsetting. :(

The pigtails turned out to be really hard, I was confused about how to shade them and it turned into a mess. Her ear also has big issues, but everything else is okay.

DESPITE THAT YOU SHOULD FAVORITE IT ANYWAY BECAUSE IT TOOK FOREVER AND DESERVES SOME LOVE. Kidding.

All jokes aside, this really did take a long time. Around 7 hours~ Mostly due my inexperience with the medium.

The glasses were a bitch to do...I hope I pulled them off okay ;_; The lips were difficult too, i'm not used to having lips an actual color, so they look kinda awkward..I messed up on the hair ties, too. And obviously the pigtails...Her bangs sorta look like a flower/starfish hybrid, but I like that about them! XD

In general I tried to make her look cute, I mean, even raging bitches can look cute, right? :D

Drawn on 11" x 14" smooth bristol board with Prismacolorer colored pencils, progresso woodless colored pencils, and copic markers. It took me around 7-8 hours from start to finish.

Any Questions? Ask em'! :D

Progress picture I threw in scraps is here: [link] Thanks for the wonderful feedback on it! (I still have to respond to some of the comments orz")

Also, I was going to draw boobs, because people seem to like boobs...but I really didn't want to have to flag it as mature content, so i'm just hinting at boobs.

Oh, the file is for download so you can see every flaw *cough*, I mean detail up close xP

I'm not sure what i'll upload next...so much in progress right now, bleh. It might be Saeko, but it really depends on what i'm in the mood for.

OHOH, i'm getting premium membership tonight, wee! :D

i really don't see why you think that you let urself down with this drawing. it looks really really cool.
it really shows life thanks to the very nice colloring.

the only critigue i have is that her ears looks kinda off. maybe it's just me but it's nothing big really.

overall you did a very nice job :D
