Description Where do I begin on this?? Well first of all this is a fanart piece for 's contest.

And secondly this is one of my favorite pieces ever. Not to get proud of myself...but I really am, this turned out way better then I expected. I've been wanting to not just draw more lately but also not mess around when I draw and make real finished pieces. So it started with the figure, and I had to put a background in. I used reference for the pose and the plants in the background. The inks were really pushed on this as well.

Lastly, I installed my roommates small tablet last night thinking since it was so small it wouldn't be that great compared to the huge one I use over at the school computer lab. I was dead wrong I think I even like it better. Note, that I've only been using tablet for like 3 weeks, I am extremely happy with how it came out. The colors were done in a channel method. I guess I better stop here before I get to big of a head >__>;

Time: Close to 5 hours

This is Beautiful! I love the complimentary use of lines, and the background must have taken forever. Great work!

The use of lighting and shading in this one is amazing. Especially when you look at the face and the rest of the skin that is visible.

You'd probably do pretty well at Vector art.

This is great. I like how you used thick lines for the outlining. All of the plants are very well done, I really like the tree. I can't find much to criticize on this piece. Well done, I like this a lot.

The tablet does in fact make things a lot easier, I'd recommend a small size to start with.
