Wow- you have a nice way there with coloured pencils ^^ I'm a big fan or texture- and this has alot of it!!

Small thought- this screws up the pencils, but if you want a smooth finish, fine sandpapeer is great to rub on the paper for a super smooth finish. Didn't know if you wanted to know- thought I'd share in case ^^

*yay! more coolies entrys!!*

[emoticon] Very thank you! [emoticon]
Thanks for the useful advice, but i always do my pics with ONLY the pencils.
I just have a bad memorie of it, you know once i rubbed the pic with a handkerchief, and then it looked smoother, yeah. But when others saw it or asking me how i did it, i couldnt lie (i CANT [emoticon] ) so told them the paaperhanky and then they said
"Ooooooooh, its easy if you did like this." [emoticon]
So, i have my paper and pencils and i make smooth it with only the pencils ^^
Very thanks for the comment [emoticon]

Great colouring! And the lineart is gorgeous, too. I especially like the idea of her having two pairs of wings. [emoticon]

Cheers [emoticon] She's a character made by Micheal Turner- a professional artist. I made it as a get well soon card- google "Soulfire" and "Grace" and you should find his MUCH beter version ^^

Wow this is really cool! I love the colors and the pose! you both did really well on this. [emoticon] Makes me wanna whip out my colored pencils again. x3

Anyway, very good job on the anatomy as well. [emoticon] I would only suggest a bit more study of how clothing folds and drapes, since the back part of her clothing (draping from her waist) doesn't quite look right somehow but, other than that I think it looks superb. :3

Oh, and I just noticed. XD The transparency of her wings is really cool. [emoticon] I love subtle touches like that, makes a picture even more interesting. [emoticon]

Thanks ^^ ummm.... clothing for me is very difficult, and I'm still learning alot. I do try to get it right though. If you know any tutorials, that'd be great [emoticon] It was fun to draw though, and the creator of this chaacter loved getting the picture which was the main thing ^^ I don't draw females ofen, so it was a nice change at the time ^^

no, don't take it harshly. Heck I still need to work on clothing folds and stuff myself lol. x3

I did find a book on clothing folds but it's a bit dated now. I'm not sure how easy it'd be to find. It's called "Dynamic Wrinkles and Drapery" by Burne Hogarth. well actually... its original printing was 1995 so it's not too old... but even so. you could probably look on Amazon or something. ^^

Hmmm... Hograth is well known, but I really don't' like his art style- he's very nobly and twisty and its difficult to see what things look like. His dynamic lighting book is good though. 1995 is still pretty new- I still swear by Jack Hamm's How to draw the head and figure book- that's like... 50 years old now. It has THE most comprehensible write up on how to draw a human I've EVER seen. I learnt to draw from it, and many of the best how to draws on the net are taken directly from it. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Head-Figure-Jack-Hamm/dp/0399507914"> A link to the amazon listing</a>

(Sorry if the anchor doesn't work >.> [emoticon]

Yeah- draping isn't something that was important enough to me. When I iron out a few more thinks and get more collected, I'll start researching it more. I'll check out the Hograth book, but if it's like his others, I'll probably get all confused with his art style and give up. I need to find an artist that makes sense to me [emoticon] Thanks for the comment though ^^
