Thanks you guys.
And yes I drew her. It took about 3 hours over 2 days. Here is her in full release. This is larger and took about 6 hours over 2 days. On Bristol Board again. The backgrounds are done in photoshop to save time and money in graphite. I no longer just keep the white backgrounds for copyright reasons. Just an added protection. :\
They lose a bit of detail having to shrink them so much. But not much to do about that on the net yet.
And Jozay don't feel bad... I'm over 30 and been doing this since I was at least 8.
Well art anyway. Anime not so long but it's not so hard if you have an art background anyway. Just practice lots. Don't get discouraged and never let anyone tell you, you need 50 dollars in graded pencils to do good drawings. They may help... but all my drawings are done with a good ol #2 pencil and a 1.00 soft graphite stick. OK I go through a lot of #2 pencils... LOL but they are still cheaper than a ton of "special" pencils. Invest in a really good pencil shapener though.
