No problem, thank you for clearing that up though ^_^. Sorry to sound a little curt with you back there..... sweatdrop


As for the mediums I used--the majority of my art (first post and some of the second post) was done in Ticonderoga, Prang, and Prismacolor colored pencils. I'm a big fan of Ticonderoga--since the colors are beautiful, and the lead is strong enough to avoid breakage (I press harder sometimes, and Prismacolor just doesn't hold up under the pressure). The rest of it was photoshop, while the last girl in the bunch (the blond with the pink shirt and blue shorts) was more colored pencil. None of these were done in marker (I didn't get into marker until recently to be honest--and still have not fully mastered it *shakes head*).

Here are some other pieces--all of which are more 'current', as in--they have been done in the last year or two. These were all colored in photoshop, since I needed to really buckle down and learn the medium at the time ^_^.

Yep--except for the DBZ one, which is pigment ink.

I'm glad you posted more of your original work. I really love your style. Though, for me, at times the proportions seem off in areas, but they were done stylisitically so, for the most part, it works.

I know your new at photoshop but i find i must prefer your traditional media art and colorings. I'm also a sucker for traditionally colored pics and sometimes prefer a good color penciled pic than a photoshopped one.

I think with practice, you'll get that photoshop coloring down pact (cause i know i sure as heck don't).

Last just one little thing that bothers me (keep in mind it's a me thing): it's mostly the size of your girls. They are all so...barbie doll like thin. Granted, yeah, that's what anime is and yes, i've drawn (and still do sometimes) really skinny girls. Since we've seen that you are good at drawing from observation, i'd love to see a more "normal" looking girl, you could say. Or maybe I'm just jealous cause your girls all have that perfect waist i'll never have! razz

Anyway... there you have it!
