Description Last one for a while, I swear.

This is the cover of a journal that is a very (very(very(very))) late birthday gift for my friend Haley. She's been having a hard time finding some original ideas so I thought I'd give her a nice muse to help.

The anatomy is way off and she looks chunkier than I intended, but overall, Im satisfied with it. I'll be offering these for commissions over the summer.

Some other pics of the journal: [link] [link]

Ink, Copic markers, and silver paint on a Moleskin Cahier Notebook.

She was actually supposed to be a bit chubby, but her knees certainly weren't supposed to be so wide I do rather love it overall though

Same as the other piece, there's actually nothing I can say. Awesome piece. I'm actually trying to find something to critique but..there's nothing haha

Thanks! I'm actually really suprised her body came out as well as it did, considering I had just started experimenting with shape when I did this. I'm glad to hear it was a success.

I love her hair
and you lie! her hips aren't bad! They compliment the flow from the hair to the bottom of the book...very flowing and free.

TouchOfWhimsy In reply to fireball124004 [2011-05-24 20:27:37 +0000 UTC]

So do I!

It's not her hips as much as the area around her knees. It makes her look unproportional and less flowy.

This is so gorgeous, I love traditional art like this, her curves are so beautiful <3 The anatomy is really good and i love her hair and her face C:

TouchOfWhimsy In reply to Chao-Illustrations [2011-04-17 21:11:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!

I have to disagree about the anatomy though; the left arm is too close to the torso and the swirly part of her skirt should be narrower.

Gah! It means so much to get such nice complements from you!

Chao-Illustrations In reply to TouchOfWhimsy [2011-04-19 18:01:42 +0000 UTC]

Well i think her arm is fine but the part i thought looked really good was her torso, she has curves all in the right place C:
And i would so buy one of these off you as a commission, i love stuff like this C: Would you ship them to the buyer too?

TouchOfWhimsy In reply to Chao-Illustrations [2011-04-19 18:09:09 +0000 UTC]

Well, I do love me my curvaceous ladies

Of course I'd ship it to buyer; not much point in buying a journal if you can't write in it. You should try drawing one for yourself. I know you're primarily a digital artist, but I think a drawing in your style would look awesome on a journal.

Chao-Illustrations In reply to TouchOfWhimsy [2011-04-19 18:30:02 +0000 UTC]

Well i do love doing traditional stuff too but i just draw digital stuff alot more ^^
I might have a look round the net and buy some black cover journals, they might be a good thing to sell at cons actually

TouchOfWhimsy In reply to Chao-Illustrations [2011-04-19 18:37:04 +0000 UTC]

I hope you wouldn't mind if a recommend a product then?

These are the journals I used and, although there are the brown ones, there are black covered ones too. The covers are pretty sturdy, and the paper is nice, if a bit thin, they come in three different sizes and three different types of paper.

Hope that helps
