Description
FULLVIEW?More contest art! This is Leaf, a natural green thumb hailing from within the corridors of the mind of Ms. 9th Symphonia of Gaia (soon to be formerly). Isn't she so cute? Her dynamic pose is just perfect for me to try out some new, more versatile shading techniques.
...If I told you how long this image took me, you'd all point at me and LAUGH. -_-lll
I hope the background came out okay! This is my first time digitally coloring dark skin, and I'm apprehensive about the effect! @_@
o.5 blue gel pen+PSCS2
Comments? Cocerns? Critisizms?
PS. My art auction on Gaia's ending today~ (yay!)

I loooovee her. Her expression is cute and the bell of her skirt resembles a blossom, which is exquisite and very appropriate.
I think you did well on the background and her skin.

I was thinking about entering that contest... (and draw that particular character too!!) Your entry is going to make it harder for me to win. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha...I think it's because Leaf's character gives a lot of tempting artistic freedom...
No way, if you entered, I'd stand absolutely no chance against your mad skills! XD (in fact, you'll probably take gold again!)

I dunno, I think this entry has pretty high chances >_>
