Description
(okay so the first time I submitted this the preview didn’t work at all so...had to make it a different format so here we go trail 2)Got this done a while ago but didn’t get to uploading it till today.
This is my attempt at drawing fanart of Fruits Basket/ Furuba by Natsuki Takaya. I think I did a pretty alright job at this seeing as how I really tried to go out of my way to focus on each person separately before moving on to another person. I was trying to hard to have each person have their own unique detail of their own from each other. (Trying to pick colors for Momiji’s clothes took so long) Although doing so made the completion of this take a very VERY long time. @_@ I got frustrated a lot and blanked out several times but I finished it!
Starting from Top left going right to left: Uotani Arisa, Hanajima Saki, Souma Akito, Souma Kureno, Souma Kagura, Souma Ritsu, Souma Momiji, Souma Hatori, Souma Shigure, Souma Yuki, Souma Hatsuharu, Souma Ayame, Souma Isuzu (Rin), Souma Hiro, Souma Kyou , Souma Kisa and featured in full body Honda Tohru.
I think the backlash of this piece is that I’m still trying to get the hang of doing backgrounds and I think I did alright but I need to work on that still. The odd side effect of doing this is it seems to have drained me of drawing anything else since the day I completed it. I feel worn out or something. @_@ I’ll get back in the groove later though. =3

aww welcomes. everyone starts somewhere so you shouldn't down yourself. How do you get to Carnage Hall? Practice! Practice! Practice! Although thats music but same meaning implied.
yep will do I'll comment on your art as well. Oh and yes I suppose I am a bit of a fan. I don't really own all the manga but yes I have read up till there. I've read volumes after volume 17 as well. Haven't finished the actual manga just taking my time on it though. Mmm the rooster, I gotcha. I was born under the year of the Rat. Though I tend to like Shigure out of the bunch though.

.....I'm gunna, like, go kill myself or something. Compared to this, my fan-art and drawings are horrible. I hate them now. You drew Tohru with really red hair, I noticed..... but that just adds to it. I love it. You don't know HOW much I love it, it can never be put into words.

Nuu no dying. Nah I don't think you're horrible. You need to practice and we all do. I mean oi some of my old stuff makes me wonder if I really did it.
Don't hate your work cause everythings a stepping stone to how well you're going to be later. Oh yeah I made her hair red.
I dunno I didn't want to put it brown even though I know its brown but I wanted to make it more red to cast off her dress better.
Thank you so much for the love and comment. If you can't describe how much you like it is a good thing.

Thank you. I like them too but my favorites tend to be Shigure, Aaya and Hatori. Drawing wise I really like how Uo and Rin turned out. (surprised self) Thank you for the fave btw

I was talking about the drawing. And I had a "blond" moment I ment Uo-chan's my favorite not Hana-chan.

Thank you and I tried to get everyone looking slightly different and trying to show their character. Oh I’m happy you could tell who was who. I was actually trying to combine how they look in the manga and anime together so then it would be some what of a cross over of the two. (aside from Kureno and Rin) I would be worried if it was too hard to tell who was who. @_@ I appreciate the fave as well

(I wasn't sure I was making it all moody but it came out alright. Yep they match each other well I question the look I gave Kyou after it was done. Kinda looking at Tohru all concerned oi)
