One thing I really look for in traditional media drawings is detail within clothes and how people have lighted it, what light source and such they use. This is just... so brilliant I pretty much can't see any flaws with it D: You made the clothes look real, the boots have that gleam-like shine and the shadow beside it too. The hair is another thing, you've made it look so strandy and realistic. I love it all! It's rather hard to achieve something like this! ^^

I'm sort of astounded, ya'know? It's amazing. I love your work!

Wow, thanks Fluttur, glad you like it. I did use reference for the pose and lighting on the face and body, but I had to make up the boots. I just tried to follow what the light was doing on the body for clues. I tried to render the boots much lighter then the body so it would look like they were white and shiny. I did the same with the bikini.

As far as the hair goes, it happens to be a weak spot for me. Thats why I worked so hard on it.

Its not that hard to achieve something like this, it just takes practice and patience. I think this is something you can do given enough time. I'm a professional artist so I have to work really hard at this stuff. I just put in a lot more time then most people thats all.

Thanks so much for the comments, I really appreciate it. :)

No problem at all!
Oh wow, really? :o It's always so hard to get the lighting on shiny objects right, especially with out reference! But I certainly think you achieved the look of the Bikini and Boots to be a lighter colour than what most people do and add too much dark shading (Counting me >__<; Lol).

Really? I would never have guessed! You did brilliantly.

Yeah? I do, in a way, have a type of photographic memory when it comes to drawing. Once I draw something once, I seem to be able to do it again with no problem. It's just the initial first time that takes the longest for me to get right. I also seem to be a little too lax at times and take, like... less than an hour to draw most of the stuff I do. Compared to others I feel like I hardly put in enough effort, hahah!

No problem, once more! I comment when I have stuff to say, so yeah! :D

Lol, if she reads minds, then I hope she can't punch through the internet, because I'd have a broken nose. :P
