Description
Contest entry for 's contest; Draw a mew mew character dressed as your favorite character from another anime. So I drew Ichigo dressed as Meroko from Full Moon wo Sagashite. It's the anime-version of her outfit with the ugly colors. x_x I'd do the whole black and pink thing, but in the manga Meroko wears fishnet stockings and I can't draw fishnets for my life. DX Yeah, I know that this is all horribly unoriginal but I don't really participate in contests enough so I decided to draw something for this one.
Sorry about the crappy digital backgrounds! I was totally stumped when it came to doing a traditional one, so I just made this boring one. x_x The actual drawing took forever for some reason. I tried to make everything perfect. Unfortunately I was too stupid to realize that coloring red in red lines wouldn't turn out too good. DX Plus I tried to do foreshortening here but it didn't turn out good at all. My dad insisted that I made this look real but I'm like "Real? Pssh... heck no." But I did find out an awesome way to make the skin.I used my flesh-w/e colored Copic for it... I used the blender a bit where the light areas were, and while it was still wet, I colored with the skin color and pressed lightly where the blender was. Then I used the blender a little where the light-ness was. I like the outcome. I made it a bit darker though on PSP. I made a few dumb mistakes I need to point out though...
-I should've drawn Ichigo's bell and made the ribbon blue.
-I messed up on the buckly thing that held up her tights or w/e. It's not supposed to be blue, but I didn't have the reference...
-I drew ties on the boots instead of buckles.
-I made the zipper too fat.
-The colors are too light, The blue is supposed to be more of a cadet blue but it's too light. x_x
-I totally screwed up the hands.
Well, I guess this is all the description-ness I need here... enjoy!
MATERIALS USED: Micron 05 sepia inking pen, Micron 05 pink inking pen, watercolor brush markers, Copics (for the skin), and PSP X for the BG/editing.

I like Meroko better without the fishnet stockings makes the outfit look alot better and I think the anime outfit looks better than the Mangas.
Technically i think i like the red and Pinkish white version of her outfit lots better.
Great job on this, keep it up.

This is a well-done piece, yet Aries can see some minor-yet-glaring problems here, mostly in the pencil work.
The high points on your style are definitely the eyes and the facial structure. That alone is a dead giveaway that you're American, yet at the same time, you try to keep proportions, colors and realism, which tells Aries you're no slouch. Yet Aries can tell that while you've got skill, you've got zeal, and you've got vision, you're still plumbing the depths of all of them.
The problem is this: your body structure, especially here, is off in small, small ways.
The hands especially leap out at Aries in this one. You're absolutely right, y'killed 'em. But it's not just that. That left ankle says one thing to Aries: broken bones. The angle it's at with relation to the knee does not look in any way normal. Or non-painful.
These are things y'can clear up with a model, like a photograph pose reference or such, but they're problems in the pencil phase that y'hafta start watching out for. Start looking at more pose references, they'll help a lot.
