Description Yui and her guitar!

Once I had this image in my head I had to draw it
Yui is such an inspiring character, and when I feel that I don't make any progress at playing the guitar I just think of Yui - if SHE can play a guitar that I can do that as well!! xDD

I liked the outlines (apart from her hands and the mistakes in the guitar probably noone notices) and when I colored it... well, I like how the face turned out, but... the color palette is an enemy of traditional drawings xD The two types of blue and her guitar's colors just didn't want to look right and I'm not satisfied with the way I shaded it <.<

Furthermore the colors were "too dark" in a way so I added a colorful background that fits Yui's personality to my mind

...Her head and the word "Yui" are my favorite parts in this picture

By the way, the staff (Notensystem) should look the way it does in case someone wanted to criticize that the lines aren't straight enough! >.<

I'm impressed that you did this in traditional media!
(Omg, how you did the name and lines like that is so awesome!! )

I too am a musician / Nerd-wannabe-drummer, which ever you want to use. But yeah, I played guitar once and it wasn't that hard. But I prefer the sounds that I can bring with hitting stuff.

And you gave her that classic "jump up and tuck my legs behind me" kind of pose. I think that those are funny because it goes from that to "...and hope that when I land I don't bust a joint or break my effin guitar."

I'm sorry, I ramble. Fantastic work!! ^-^

Thank you! I'm proud of how I made the name and the lines

I've once tried to play a keyboard but somehow that's not what I wanted... but playing a guitar is so much fun! I've never tried to play drums because I never had the possibility to do so o.o But I can imagine that it's fun as well!
You're right about the... "effects" this pose can have Fortunately neither happened in this picture xD

Yeah, I looked at her pose after I commented and thought maybe she was just doing a guitar slide on her knees.

... I keep meaning to comment on this picture, but I've been too busy this whole week preparing your V-day gift! @.@
I'm sorry! ;A;

... Anyway, I just love the colors in this picture!
Especially the shading of her hair and eyes, as well as the rainbow-colored... music... thingy that I can't think of the name of, for some reason...
... I wanna say stanza, but I think that's for something else... XD

And her clothes look really nice! ^^
... Although, I do think that you shaded in her right arm and shoulder a bit too darkly...
(This coming from somebody who knows next to nothing about shading... XD)

Oh, you did an absolutely wicked job with her guitar... >3
... Well, there are still a few mistakes the I spot in it's outline, but, other than that, it looks really awesome!

Gah, I wish I had a guitar! I'm sick of this crappy keyboard... XD
... Lucky you have your Rita...

I hope that drawing this picture has really inspired you to keep on practicing, both with Rita and your art!

Don't apalogize, there's really no need to do so! It's not as of you have to comment all of my drawings And you really put a lot of effort and time into this gift!

Thanks! I didn't like the colors at first, it looked a bit dull <.< So I added lighter colors, too ^^
I only know the German word Now I looked it up at Wikpedia and it says "Staff" [link] but when I hear that word then I have to think of something like this [link] <.<

Her clothes are just her school uniform ^^
You're absolutely right, I really dislike the shading because it didn't come of as it should The main problem was that I didn't have the colors I wanted, had to mi them a bit and then it was harder to shade it and ended up too dark <.<
And you DO know how to shade - just look at the way you color eyes recently, it's really amazing!

Thanks! You're right about the mistakes, but when I realized them it was too late to fix them

Maybe you should wish for a guitar, too! I really love guitars, they look so cool! And guitarists are always my favorites Also I have to admit that "Guitar Hero" was finally the trigger that made me wish to own an electric guitar! And now I have one!

Yes, that's what it did! Lately I'm unsatisfed with both, my art and my guitar, but I'll never give up on them! >.<

Ich hab zwar keine Ahnung, wer der Charakter ist, aber ich bin immer wieder von deiner Liebe zum Detail fasziniert. Die einzelnen, hauchdünnen Saiten, die zahlreichen Knöpfe (blergh, spiel kein Gitarre, tut mir leid, falls es da Fachausdrücke gibt), die Spangen im Haar, die Andeutung einer Beuge an den Füßen... und natürlich die Augen o.o

Was soll ich sagen, ich mag es

Amalika In reply to Fiver-rah [2011-02-16 16:15:52 +0000 UTC]

Dankeee seeeeehr!
Freut mich, dass es dir gefällt xD Ich mag Details, aus irgendeinem Grund fällt es mir dann leichter, ein Bild zu colorn Mehrere kleine Flächen sind einfacher zu bewältigen als wenige große, weil man dann schneller ungeduldig wird Zumindest ist das bei mir so <.<
Die "Knöpfe" haben schon Namen, aber die Hälfte der Fachausdrücke etc. merke ich mir sowieso nicht, weil ich die so selten brauche, und es ist nur verständlich, dass du die nicht kennst <.< Psst, du hast nicht gehört, dass ich die selber nicht kann! >.<

Könntest auch du mit kurzen Haaren und coolen Gitarrenskills sein ;D
Ich mag den Namen auch -also, wie der so geschrieben ist, in den bunten Farben. Und somit gefällt mir gleich der ganze Hintergrund, mit den Noten und so. Sehr schicker Notenschlüssel ; )
ich kritisiere deine Notenlinien mal nicht - aber die letzte Note würde nie so aussehen

Mit ein bisschen Fantasie geht das! xD
Danke! Hat auch Spaß gemacht das so regenbogenartig zu machen xD
*hüstel* Ach bei der Note... ob der Strich rechts oder links ist, was macht das schon! <.<'''''
Mal von dir abgesehen ist es bisher auch keinem aufgefallen xD

looks really gorgeous and cool, everything is spreading the energy and inspiration around the paper, the vibrations of the sound on the notes of the background. Also the guitar is wonderful, even her pose is of a rockstar doing a concert, yeah!.

I hope you will do a drawing of your character playing with "rita", right?
