Description I promised myself to submit more sketches on this account, instead of keeping em hidden for years and years, waiting to finish them but never getting around to it, until I start hating them for not reflecting my current skill level anymore.

so here, instead of doing that, I'm submitting a second sketchdump, with 8 pieces. 6 of these are pencil work, although one's corrected digitally, and two are digital work.

Feel free to download for max view.

In order:
1. Generic girl with long hair blowing in the wind. Did in a class that annoyed the living daylights out of me. graciously scanned for me by *LadyCrimson
2. My effort at realism that I'm most pleased with so far (not that I've had a lot of practice just yet). The girl was very beautiful, which made drawing her very fun. Reference: [link] from ~Lolitagirlie-stock
3. Generic round faced girl with no arms. LOL, can you imagine that? I was doodling her in a class, and the class was over before I really finished. should have drawn her some arms before submitting her, sheesh. o.O
4. this one started out in class, but I cleaned it up digitally a bit. she looks sorta interesting, but I doubt I'll finish her. it's just a portrait with no real purpose right now
5. also class doodle. and it's inspired by the teacher of that specific class, who was just such a sweet and kind person, with this very "nice person" look ^^
6. hmm, the expression for this piece is what I first drew, referenced from a still in a weird video I was watching online. of course I didn't manage to get the expression down just right, but she still looked pretty cool, so I gave her some character elements, hair, a fur shall, and a fur hat ^^
7. my only pathetic attempt at drawing Rukia from bleach that didn't end in misery. I'm not bothering trying again lol, I lost my interest in this anime around the first time they started doing fillers. (Rukia - (c) Tite Kubo)
8. lol, ok, this one has a fun story over last easter I went to a friend's country home, with a larger group of people, quite a few of which were major D&D geeks when they saw I enjoyed drawing, they were like "draaawww our characters!!!". so I didn't mind one bit, just asked for references (and of course as total geeks that they were, they had about 3 D&D books with them) and I drew the whole group. After I came back, my style was fixated on drawing with a lot of details and armour-y things... so this is how this dress came to be lol This reminds me, I _still_ need to bug those guys to scan my sketches of their party...

the hair ^-^ I simply adore how you do the hair! all flowy even when still- if that makes sense

Hope you get those guys to scan in the picture!

I will eventually lol I just hope it won't take forever. one of those pieces I desperately want back, because the chara just turned out so badass he had a full armor, which I shaded very heavily it was very different than other stuff I've ever done lol

and thank you for the compliment on the hair. I LOVE drawing hair, even when its flow and movement defies all logic

but where's the fun in gravity/logic bound hair I usually draw my hair a tad more bound- think Queen Amidala before she became lame ^-^

thank you ^^ my fave thing about that piece is that it scanned in a sepia tone the pencil I was using wasn't particularly unusual (I think) but the scan had a brownish shade ^^

yeah the sketch looks really nice. I thought it was Ariel at first, then I remembered you're staying away fm fanart, and then i saw that she was wearing a hat.
