Work in Progress: Winter -Fuyu-

Here she is for now. I've finished the light pencil drawing and the lightest layer of watercolor paint. I'll probably finish the rest of the colors tomorrow and give it some more contrast. I hope it turns out looking "wintery" after all... #I've got a feelin'... (wooo-ooooo) that this piece's gonna be a good piece...#

PS. I promise the nose is not that pointy. It's a camera distortion :P

Sketch for new painting

My latest sketch. I'm trying to incorporate dynamic poses and momentum (like in the hair.) However she's a mermaid (in a certain way) so maybe her hair is swirling in the water. Probably I'll incorporate a koi fish too somehow!

Beautiful Sawajiri Erika!!!

Today I'm sitting at work but there's no-one here! It's grey and rainy outside... I've finished all my tasks... so I have some spare time. I'm looking for inspiring images and I found these tooooo beautiful ones of Sawajiri Erika. >_<

Spring -春-

Yay! I finished the sketch from the previous post. Amazingly, I like her quite well... The giant kanzashi in her hair took quite a while to do. I am pleased that she turned out the way I envisioned her when I started. That almost never happens. Sorry for the blur on the edges of the image. I'll get it scanned properly at FedEx tomorrow. My scanner is miserably small. :')

Sketching...

Yesterday I had some sort of drawing paralysis and COULD NOT DRAW anything!!! I angrily threw away page after page of total rubbish efforts. Finally, I got up, walked around, and sat down again and used my IKEA pencil that I had accidentally blagged from the store. Hehehehehehe. At least I produced a sketch I halfway liked probably due to some kind of magical Ikea love power that I possess XD Not sure what will become of her, but I like her for now. :D
