Description A little 5"x7" watercolor painting for It's her OC Chiyo from her amazing fanfiction "Fakes & Friends!" The scanner messed it up a little, but all in all it's not too bad. I'm not into girly things so painting this was a challenge. I thought about those girls in Korean manhwa with the fancy fingernails, so I had planned to give that a try, but in the end I forgot. I might try to add that in later. Anyway, enjoy.

Materials: watercolor and acrylic paint

You did THAT with water color?!?!?! Some people are so gifted.... But, it's awesome! My jealous is surpassed by my love of the art! It's very nicely done! I especially love the devious look in her eyes, it's so Chiyo ;D

Thanks so much! I love drawing in the YYH style so it was a lot of fun, though I have trouble drawing girls that aren't "butch" I guess.

Thanks! I've always enjoyed drawing details, and I made it a 5x7 because it's just a bust-shot. Watercolor gets difficult if the picture is too small (like a full-body 5x7 would be very hard).

What can I say, my friend? I love the colors (they’re very Chiyo—she likes blues and oranges), I love her expression (mischievous, but still sweet), I love her posture (and her neat-nick nails show up so well), I love her frilly shirt strap (she’s totally wear that) and the way her hair looks with all that texture and the colors, you’re a beast with watercolor (I’m too afraid through even touch the stuff), and it’s all around an AWESOME-SAUCE PICTURE! Seriously. I love it. I can’t stop staring. I’m also totally jealous of your art! Wah! GREAT FREAKING JOB!

Aw, thank you! ^^ I feel like I messed up on the hands though. They look too stiff or something. I based her outfit off what you drew her in before; I added the lace-stuff simply because I like adding little effects with the white paint. The hair was difficult, but I haven't drawn a braid in a while so it was interesting to try again. And the eyes are always my favorite to draw, especially YYH style!
I've been in a Yu Yu Hakusho mood for a while now, so I wanted to draw something Yu Yu related, and this pic of Chiyo was the result. I recently got an idea for a YYH fanfiction to write; just need to work out some problem details, and thus far the beginning is a little choppy so I need to fix that too. But thank you so much for the nice compliments! I love your art too, especially those new chibis, and I can't wait to se more of them. ^^

I think it all looks quite good. ^^ I shall be dropping your name upon the posting of the next F&F chapter!

Oh, a fanfic?! Sweet! If you need anyone to talk plot with, let me know! I owe you big time

Thanks a lot. Once I get the plot worked out a little more, I can let you know about some of the problems I'm having. (Right now it's just small stuff.) Though you don't owe me anything. I love your stories, and YYH is my favorite anime of all-time, so it's really inspiring.
