Description This is for ~Tiiko416 for catching my 2000 kiriban! Omg =_= So sorry this took a long time... But I really want to thank her and all the other wonderful people here on deviantart who have given me comments/favs/watch/etc. Very,very thankful to you all!

This is a drawing of Anna Tsuchiya, a Japanese singer,actress, model, and lyricist. She's half Japanese, 1/4 American, and 1/4 Russian. Her songs for the NANA anime are pretty good ^^ yep.

Hm yeah... for this drawing I tried to focus more on how to use the colors, and less on smoothness and details. I tried using multiple colors for her skin, like blue, purple, and red... I'm happy how it turned out, but not on the scanned version =[ Yeah that always happens to me, eh?

-Used Verithin Prismacolors and a reference picture

LOL now that I look at the pic again... I must have been high or something(its the Orange Range songs! I swear!)while doing the colors...

Wow, this looks really, really amazing!

I love the way you made the details more "windy" instead of sharp and smooth - it looks so much like a photo taken in motion I love the background so much! And her skin tones.. they look just plain breathtaking. I especially like her eyelids, the darker red

A sure
