Thank you all so much!!! Now I want to do another one! XD Any suggestions??

So I'm getting a little coloring happy ^^



At the request of Verdandi

Update 12/27/12

I did this coloring for Christmas ^^ Oshiokyo did the vector tracing



I love Eternal Sailor Moon

and I also did some drawings for some people for Christmas as presents ^^ but I'm not sure if I will post them too

Luna!!! I love your colorings sooo much! They're so pretty! I really love the one with Usagi in the chair! It looks awesome and such pretty colors <3 It's my favorite of the recent ones so far :3 Although I may be biased! haha <3

Also you should totally post those drawings because they are amazing and everyone should see them!!!!!!

*glomphuggles* Thank you soo much Verdandi!! I might post the drawings soon XD I've got some other drawings to scan in and post too so expect a big update soon!

I colored my Secret Santa page from Verdandi ^^ She cleaned if for me I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out, I just wish the colored pencils didn't look so grainy >.> I reduced the noise twice on my computer and it helped but it took away some of the color too. The hard copy looks so much smoother than this. *sniff sniff* I wish I could prove it!

Sorry for the double post! (again)
But I just wanted to share.


I really like using colored pencils ^^ What do you guys think? Do you like my pencil colorings or digital colorings better?? I'm thinking about doing this picture in digital too for comparison.
I'd love to hear your opinions and suggestions! <3

I really like your pencil colorings. Your digital works are really nice, but I think there's so much more life to the colored pencils, even if you don't like how they scan!

Also, I think the scan on this latest one turned out really well! I have one question for you though - what program do you use for editing? If it's there, you should try to adjust the levels, bringing in the two outer edges of the levels adjustments will really make your colors pop more, and then that might help when you finally reduce noise? Just a thought, I don't usually reduce noise on my colored pencil scans.

I looooovelovelove the last two you just put up!!! Very cute and very beautiful

Thanks so much! I use Paint.NET, it is a free program between regular Paint and Photoshop. Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to try that on my next one

Update!

Sorry for the lack of updates!

I did this for my art class a few months ago XD the assignment asked us to do something with symbols and theme and we had to use a bunch of different mediums.


and a closer up pic:


Sailor V color over:


I'll try to get some scans from my sketch book sometime soon! I just didn't want to forget about these while I was remembering ^^""

Update!
I have some drawings this time ^^

I doodled this quickly on some notes that I was taking but I think she is quite cute ^^


A another quick sketch, inspired by Sailor Cosmos


Not my usual style but I really like this one too.


Sailor V, not my favorite drawing...eh it looks weird, I didn't do a very good job *sniff*


Hatsune Miku


Really proud of this one, this was the first time that I've drawn all of the inners together. (I find it really hard to draw more than one character in a picture ^^"" 

And a coloring:

I like this one too.
Sorry for the big update! Thanks for looking at my art ^^

I love the Sailor V drawing, the face looks stunning ^^
and the sketches are really cute too!

Wow Luna!! Great work!!!

Just a hint or thought something they taught us was to blend the colored pencils like you would do a grayscale drawing with either a blending stump or a q-tip and just go back and forth over the area you want to be smoother till it's where you want it or close, at least. A lot of us had that same problem in class.


Keep up the great work!!

Thanks for the praise Ai! Thanks for the tip ed! I'll be sure to try it out!

I love your latest coloring of Usagi and ChibiUsa  Colored pencils can be difficult to blend and shade with but you did a lovely job

 Thank you so much Steph! Colored pencils are tricky sometimes, but they're my favorite XD

I've tried making graphics! Please give me some constructive criticism, I need it ^^''

Graphics Attempt:

i loved this second one!

Thanks so much you guys!!

I love your sketch where Usagi is waking up!

You color so well! I can't color at all u.u

Thanks nerf!!

I have a minor update today. Just some graphics I've been experimenting with. Graphics making is fun but I usually struggle to come up with ideas  but I'm pretty pleased with these. As always please let me know how I can improve my skills ^^

New Graphics Stuff:
