Description Finished! *dies*

This was an assignment for drawing class. It was pretty much a free-for-all, do-whatever-you-want-as-long-as-it's-drawing-media project. I had lots of fun with this.

The title comes from one of the Abney Park songs I was listening to while working on this -- "The Wrong Side". Very steampunk band. X3

I would also like to point out that the colors in this photo are almost nothing like the original. X( It was much too big for the scanner, so I had to take a digital photo. I edited it quite a bit in photoshop in order to kind of replicate the actual piece. So if you're wondering why the white border looks digitally painted, that's because it is! At least it looks better that wierd shadows and creases and magnets and.... *blah blah, rant rant*

There I am being negative again... just ignore it, I really did love this project . I hope you do too!

Very nice. She kind of looks like you. Coincidence? What size was this?

Yes, coicidence. People keep making that comparison... dunno why, but I didn't intend it to be so. I do want to base my next hair-cut off of it, though XD.

It's 18x24 inches. Standard 50lb drawing paper. (which is why it's so wrinkly. eww.)

I love this! The colors and composition are very well done The texture in the background is great and I love the way you did the white lace!

And on a side note: 'The Wrong Side' is one of my favorite songs to listen to while I draw

(Ugh, late reply. Sorry )

Alright! Someone who listens to Abney Park. They create such great atmospheres for drawing and painting.

That's okay!

They really do! Abney Park is always on my playlist when I'm drawing, no matter what.

Ooooh, it is quite steampunk! The gears and the clock numbers, I dig it! I like how you gave everything a kind of grungy/rusty feel. And the outfit is freakin' fantastic the lace OHGOD THE LACE. XD

Elle-H In reply to Paimonerra [2008-10-15 00:36:34 +0000 UTC]

Some of the grunginess comes from the bad photo. In real life everything is a bit softer and more vibrant. But grungy at the same time. Hooray for wierd watercolor effects!

Lulz. The lace was my favorite bit to do.

The composition is really nice. I love how you handle clothing, btw. (You, too, must be a clothing nut like Haku!)

Thanks ^_^. Oh yes, I am. I don't usually dress very fashionably, but I love to draw them. And I love Haku's clothing designs.
