Description Drawn by jadedragonne.deviantart.com/ar… .  This was very difficult to color.  Even though it shouldn't be, this might have been the most difficult I've colored.  It was so difficult that I actually bailed from finishing because my impatience for backgrounds was showing very clearly, so I did something I've never done before and cropped the best part from the worst.  As hard as it was, she was actually very fun to color and is a very cute Cutie Pie.  I must commend the fine details in the drawing because there are some lines so thin and close that I had to use a magnifying glass and keep one eye shut!

Prismacolors, Copics, Promarkers, Paint, rubbing alcohol, and a paint brush.

I love the colors on this one! Fantastic job on her skin and on the color scheme of her clothing. The hair is a really pretty color too. I love the deep brown you chose. The sky is so mysterious and misty looking as well! Great job!

Erik, Erik...  Don't be so hard on yourself! I think you did a great job on her. I like her skin tone, really warm and realistic, that you highlighted with the perfect shading effects, like on her hip and shoulder. I love her deep chocolate hairs too, they make her look like a really really cute Cutie Pie indeed! I'm glad you had fun coloring her, even if everything didn't went like you want and even if I put so much small details in the lines that you had to use a magnifying glass

I loved coloring the hips and small of her back (and that butt slightly visible in her skirt).

I've finished others I wasn't satisfied with, but I wasn't ashamed of them as I still posted them. But this really didn't represent my skill level and attention to details. I felt rushed and unfocused, which I think is insulting to the drawing and I was ashamed and you can see it (even slightly while cropped). Thanks for not being upset! And for the compliments!

HiHi! I must admit, I had a lot of fun drawing her curvy body. It was a fun pose to draw, and I likde the challenge to make her butt look like it was slightly visible yet, not showing.

"It's bad. It's pretty bad. Mmkay."

But thank you! I cropped it close so it wouldn't be noticed. Too many uneven layers of color and unable to stay in lines. And just poor color choice!

Thank you. I actually love the hips and lower back, too. So, thanks. I think it's not a stretch to say you like drawing curvy hips and such, so I like that you like the coloring! It appeared that the Maori use a lot of red, black, and white in their traditional wardrobe, and I love those colors. This is one I'd actually like to see you color.

Why, thanks! I just couldn't stay in the lines and I could've done much better. I have a few like that that I still posted. But I didn't feel like this one was up to my skill or focus. And I just feel ashamed to do that to her lines.
