Description
I was printing out pictures to use as reference for a drawing of some of my characters playing musical instruments when I came across this great Asian painting (or, at least part of it) of a man playing the flute. He was my model for the guy in this drawing (I named him Noir; partly because of his hair color, partly because of his expression ^_^ ) The rest of it just followed, I guess. The woman's name is Aria...just because she looked like an Aria.I found the painting here: [link] I really wish the web master had credited the artist, though. I don't even know what this painting is titled...
**pencil, ink, ink wash, pen, brush, cotton balls and medical gauze (for the background effect)**

Rather beautiful....you're so good at drawing faces and hair. The color scheme works well, definately gives that ancient Asian vibe.

lol i dont even bother with them
aside from the most simplistic, its stupid cos it'll really denifit the pic but the medias i use jsut dont seem to suit them. I also dont like the idea of ruining a pic by doing a background

Right on! They're so lively! Aria is sooo beautiful! ( Noir, too... )
I love the fact that this was done with ink, cotton balls and gauze. It's like a traditional Japanese Sumi-e painting. Of course I don't think they used cotton balls (or maybe they did?) but you know what I mean right?
