Warm-hearted and sweet but intelligent in her look and form, with a brightness upon the piece in its entirety that simply causes one to smile. How lovely you've drawn her once again! Beautifully done!Β Β

Oh gosh, this is even lovelier than I thought, thank you so muchΒ I gotta say, you drew that Shawl really well! Do you use fashion magazines as a reference?

Thanks!
Sometimes. I only have a few on hand that I record into a sketchbook for future reference (mostly for hair and shoes though) and just for the sake of practice. I don't really use the fancier stuff for my current characters but the drawings are there if I ever need them. I try to mix and match clothing I like but most of the time I also use google to fill in the gaps when I can't find what I'm looking for. I also have artbooks of fashion from different decades like the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. but I haven't looked into those in a while.
There have also been the occasions where I've seen people in real life wearing clothing that I absolutely found cute or interesting during commutes, so I try to record them (usually as a really crappy sketch of the shapes or a brief description of what they were wearing so I can look it up later). That's how I came up with Ari's hoodie vest/long sleeve combo :3

Ah wow, that's so cool! I think I should try & think clothing when it comes to my characters as well. It might seem shallow, but fashion can be Β very important in designing characters & giving people a feel for what there like as characters(i.e moody people normally wear dark clothing, whereas happy people normally wear brighter clothing). There's a really good tumblr post actually about how fashion can be used to help develop characters, but I can't really find it at the moment.

Ooh, well let me know if you ever find it again <:Β
And I'd have to agree. It says a lot about who a person is, and also what kind of background he/she comes from. Even the manner of how those clothes are worn is a nice subtle hint at a character's personality as well.
You should definitely give it a try!

I think I just did:amazingstoriesmag.com/2013/07/β¦ , & don't worry, I'll be sure to. Maybe I could do what your'e doing now & draw my cavepeople characters & have them wear modern clothes?

I knew you'd say that. I won't do it right away though. I'll probably do a few more pictures of them as they are just so people get a feel for the characters, then I'd probably draw them in modern clothes.Β
If I drew Frostnip & Mayu, would you drew my OC's in response? Just a hypothetical question.

Oh yeah that's fine man, do whatever you feel is best, I'm looking forward to seeing them either way.
You mean like an art trade? Sure, I just need references.

Absolutely lovely! Love the style of no outlines, it just looks so much cleaner. Vibrant strong colors all go well together here, beautifully executed. ^_^

Thank you so much Mickey!
Every time I think I need to go back and shade for these pieces, I just don't- I really enjoy the simple clean look too. I'm so not used to working this way but I guess that's what makes it a blast.

Mayu's so precious
I really like how you retained the shawl for Mayu and the scarf for Frostnip with their AU selves.

Thanks man! I really wanted to keep those parts similar and Mayu's was more fun to reinterpret.

No problem :3
Mayu is just so huggable X3 This version of her seems more joyful. (not to say that the original ghost Mayu isn't cute in her own way!)

Nah I get what you're saying. And naturally this Mayu is more happy, she's not a freaky ghost! xD
