Description My entry for *Heather-Boicourt 's contest. If she lets me enter a sketch, that is.

This is the first thing I've done in a very very long time that I've been proud of.

...which usually means I'll hate it tomorrow, but if I keep fiddling with it I'll ruin it, I always do.

So yes! I really like this, please don't bash it, I'm sure I'll see all the glaring horrid things about it when I look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow. =] *hugs*

GO ENTER HER CONTEST NOW!

If you don't know her art, she's a truly amazing artist. She has this incredible ability to...see poses and put them down on paper. I've seen her draw everything from a cat, upside down on a beanbag and using her toes to hold up an ice cream bucket -- to a baby kangaroo squirming out of its momma's pocket. She blows me away, every time she uploads. When it comes to comments, she's a bit shy, but I know for a fact she reads and loves every single one of them.

I just had to favorite this Whiskerwing because it is so beautiful! The pose is just waw and I've run out of words to describe this because it is just so wonderful! I'm sure she's going to love it!

Eep, thank you!! I really realy REALLY enjoyed doing it, I stayed up late putting on finishing touches and had to force myself to stop before I ruined it. I dont' have the heart to ink and color it, I like it too much as a sketch.

Dursann In reply to WhiskerWing [2006-07-03 15:48:16 +0000 UTC]

Yea - tis realy preety as a sketch.
Could you mabey scan and copy it? Then ink the spare?
It's good you enjoyed it! And all of that work clearly paid off.

WhiskerWing In reply to Dursann [2006-07-03 22:14:12 +0000 UTC]

I wish I could, but I've never been able to do that...make a copy. I know a lot of people use light tables for that sort of thing, I've just never been able to justify the expense. (Even ten dollars for a little kiddie one). I don't make money off of my art, so I can't buy lots of goodies to play with. =]

Dursann In reply to WhiskerWing [2006-07-04 15:09:45 +0000 UTC]

Ah - I was thinking of the ones you get in corner shops - 5p for a copy
Luckily at home we have a scanner/copier/printer - only 'cause it was on a discount if you bought just about the rest of the computer equipment.

WhiskerWing In reply to Dursann [2006-07-04 17:05:37 +0000 UTC]

Aaaaah, but the problem with that is that when I ink, I erase the lines underneath it, and I couldn't do that on a regular copy. =] I suppose I could make a copy and then erase on the original though. Hmmmm...

RedOctober90 [2006-06-21 21:49:45 +0000 UTC]

Wow. Just wow. I would never be able to draw a Kimino I'm not that ethnically smart, lol. I don't know what the little designs on all of them mean. But I do know that the little wrap thingy (not quite sure what its called) goes right up underneath the bosom, if that helps any

WhiskerWing In reply to RedOctober90 [2006-06-22 00:44:53 +0000 UTC]

LOL, if it takes ethnical smarts, I'm screwed. I just looked at pictures of kimonos, and tried to remember what my yukata looked like. XD

Shelagnoa [2006-06-21 04:10:54 +0000 UTC]

This is beautiful. I love the detail you added to her kimono, and the simple rectangle framing her is awesome. The face is very well done too. Great job!

WhiskerWing In reply to Shelagnoa [2006-06-21 15:24:18 +0000 UTC]

*hugs* Shelagnoa! Have you recovered from the plane trip of doom yet?

Thank you! ^^ I've always wished I had a kimono with a cherryblossom effect on it. So now I got to draw one!!

And I'm glad the rectangle turned out well. ^^ I like small, framed backgrounds. I think I'll start adding them more often...it'll be good practice. ^^ =Marshroots is my hero.

Shelagnoa In reply to WhiskerWing [2006-06-21 18:59:30 +0000 UTC]

And yes, do the rectangle more, in all its minimalistic glory!
