Description This is so.. whoa It's the first time I finished a drawing with a tablet! It took me about a (painful) week to get used to the hand-eye thing. The old, faulty tablet slowed me down a whole lot. But I finished 75% of the artwork in a day after I got it replaced 8D. Colouring has become so much faster. What was I doing all these donkey years?! D8<

IT BE NANA AND HEI, POPO! 8D How's that for a corny title?

This was really fun to work with. It's more like a shoujo manga cover. It's good practice for a manga-ka wannabe, I guess O_o? Have I ever mentioned that every new piece I make is like an experiment? It feels like they're all different and I never stick to one style of drawing or colouring. I never had the luxury to draw more than 10 illustrations a year. Hopefully I'll be able to do so soon

I seriously don't know how furisodes and the obis work even after referring to one How To Draw Manga book. It's rather embarrassing ;A;

I love your style and use of patterns. Though I'd have to disagree with you about it looking like a cover (covers are usually a bit simpler and centered lower). I think it looks like the colored fold-out posters that come inside of manga ^^
