Thank you so much! I'm glad that the scan actually shows the color well. Hopefully he will behave when the time comes to scan the entire picture.

This is quite lovely. I especially enjoy your use of minimal outlining. It gives the piece a more painted look, despite being made with colored pencils.

Also, I was wondering if you are using a blender pencil in this piece. If not, your picture looks very well blended for being without one.

Fantastic use of color and shading. I can hardly wait to see how this turns out.

Really? I trying to not to make it too noticeable, kind of a mixture between a cartoon and real life and I'm glad that you like the effect. And thank you!

Actually I'm not using a blender pencil, but I have been putting loads of layers and been keeping a consistent pressure. Each "color" consists of a minimum of 7 colors each done over each other. I think an issue for me in the past was actually not putting enough pressure onto the picture and not taking the time to do it slowly and carefully (I tend to prefer moving fast; I've been very patient with this one and I'm enjoying every second of it)

I really do love the effect you achieved. In fact, I think the technique makes the art even somewhat similar to the impressionist style of the Zelda: Skyward Sword game. Which is a pretty beautiful art style in my opinion.

Wow - I can imagine that's a very time-consuming technique! Although, it certainly makes it all the more fulfilling, I'm sure. Especially since it's turning out so wonderfully.

I agree. It is a different approach but I think it is going to be wonderful in the end. And thank you!

I use colored pencils. I have over 140 and they are my precious little babies But true quite a bit of them are multiple pencils of the same color so I have 72 different colors.

I kind of like to collect them

Oh I've been using them too, but I don't have that many XD
I wasn't sure if it was crayon or colored pencil-you just are really swell at coloring XD

I collect Zelda guidbooks and the mangas

I have the mangas as well (Well they are currently with my younger sister who is reading them a couple states away) and I do have one how-to-draw book themed on Zelda. Hmmm...I haven't looked at that in ages, perhaps it is time to bring that out again.


Thanks again!
