@ Becca I imagine I'll either be posting it on DA or on my livejournal, but i can certainly link it here at least. Don't hold your breath though, I'm very lazy and I'm starting university soon; I won't have much energy to work on it. @ candlelighted You really think so? I'm flattered! I think it's more to do with my very expensive coloured pencils than my skill to be honest. XD

No, don't say that. I have expensive (at least I think they would be expensive if I hadn't gotten them for free) colored pencils and I'm not that good at coloring. I just don't have the patience for it.

@ candlelighted
The ones I have are prismacolours and a set of caran d'ache watercolour pencils, so they're about as expensive as it gets in my local art shops. It's really not that hard though, the trick is to keep the pencils sharp and not to press too hard. If you're aiming fro smooth colour that is.

Thanks, the girl who it's based on likes it as well (thankfully). She even asked for another picture to put on her wall at university.

Don't be jealous! But yes, practice will solve all. You'd be surprised by how much drawing skill deteriorates without practice, even when one is naturally talented. It has a real 'use it or lose it' quality. I'm flattered that you like my art so much!

Ah, shy, we haven't had any new pics from you in ages. Won't you grace us with another picture?

I'm just working on one now. I haven't been drawing much lately to be honest, I've been really uninspired. I can't seem to think of anything to draw or write or even daydream about, it's actually pretty depressing, I had to force myself to start working on this one.

Well, you can try some more fan art. Like maybe some from Kerosene or Crashing...or The Fade since that has no art yet. Or even MALICE since you cheated got lucky ( ) and won a copy. ^_^

I don't want to be spoilery though. I didn't bring the Fade with me to university either, since I only have the teeniest amount of shelf space so I couldn't find any of the descriptions I'd need. Besides, I haven't finished the one I'm working on yet, and it IS fanart.

Ok, that's fine. ^_^ Just wanted to give you ideas. Looking forward to your newest art, though. ^_^

Same here! I can't draw myself so I really like to look at other people's awesome pictures instead.

Heh, that's funny, part of the reason why I read as much as I do is that I'm a terrible writer!
