Description
Well well well. THIS has been sitting on my computer since the end of last year. I colored it over the summer, but never quite finished it. The background was always the problem, and needless to say, I said, "Heck with it, I just want to get this picture DONE."
Yeah, an attempt at a profile with a background. It sucks, I know, and there's a bajillion things wrong with it. The shading is crap, his hand is weird, and the folds in his clothing are completely off. His hair is buggin' me too. >__>
This was colored completely by mouse, since I hadn't gotten my tablet when I colored it. Lineart was done with the pen tool.... some touch ups were made by tablet though.
I'm actually not hating it THAT much, but I know it could be better. I'm just glad I can call this somewhat finished.
No stealing, thank you!

Nice job on this! Don't worry, your shading is just fine. I really love the way you did his hair, though. And for some reason, MV always looks cute when he's standing in the rain. ^_^

Aww, thanks so much! <3
This is old, and I'm even more angry at the shading now, but hey, it was with a mouse... xD; So I guess I can't complain too much. But I still think it's sort of cute too. x3:

Eheheh, Minishnapped.
I have the next chapter mostly written out, and since I'm in a writing mood for once, I'll try to get it done. I'm terrible at updates, sorry. O__o;;;
All you need to get better at drawing is study anatomy and realism, and from there, life-drawing. It takes a while, and you've got to be willing to do it, but believe me, it pays off. Then you can go into a different style of your choice.
I'm working on it. I had the bad habit of drawing anime before realism, and now I need to do my realism. I should've done it earlier.

Dude, this rocks. The grass is sweetness, love the rain, adore the way the outfit looks, I just love the whole thing. It's no way crap! Of course, I understand horribly critiquing your own work, but seriously, this is awesome.

Aww KM, thank you so very much!
There really are things wrong with it, but I'll keep them in mind to help me do a better job on my next drawing.
Thank you again!

HE'S GOT CUTE LITTLE FEET! <3 Aww...this is so sweet. Good profile. I love the coloring technique on his robes and hat you used for this one--it fits perfectly with the dreary, damp, rainy theme of the rest of the picture.

Koholint In reply to EvilYardGnome [2006-09-24 17:38:46 +0000 UTC]
Thanks so much, EYG! You always give the nicest comments.
I like his feet too. xD I forgot to add that to the description, so here will have to suffice.
I wish I could draw a profile half this well again sometime...
Thanks again!

I love his hair!
Rawr! I want to draw hair like you.
The rain and the folds on his skirt-thingy is so pretty o.o

Thank you! It took me a while to figure out how to draw hair very well at all.
Really, all I do is sketch a basic outline of the hair, and add lines. xD The "secret" is out!

I LUFF HIS ROBES!!
This is truly AMAZING. I have NO crits whatsoever, and + I suck at giving crits.
But onto the picture! I'm definitly getting flashbacks of this guy...
The hand is very awesome, too!
I love the background, hair...etc.
Aw heck, I love everything about this!
Koholint, you've done an amazing job and you should be proud.

Aww, thanks. There really are a million mistakes though...
-__- The background is half-assed though, and since he's a Minish, the grass would tower over him! But nobody needs to know that, do they? xD
Thank you so much for the kind words!

Caramal In reply to Koholint [2006-09-24 18:32:38 +0000 UTC]

And I never even thought about the grass part...
Well, I certainly think it works with the picture, don't you?
Absolutly no problem!

Hey, I remember when you showed me this long, long ago in a galaxy far away I know what you mean about the errors and such, but come on, I mean the coloring is pretty sweet for a mouse
Plus I love his little claw-like feet. And, yay! A profile!

But yarsh, it's a profile. It killed me to color it with a mouse. I'm so glad I have a tablet now.
