The theme was 'friendship' I wouldn't normally draw something with this theme, but I like how it turned out.

Done in photoshop with the pentool and tablet.

Style - Gothic Lolita

Probably the most common lolita style. The traditional blackxwhite scheme is very recognizable, but not all gothic lolita is black and white. This style incorporates the darker colors and themes (like cross motifs and veils) from Western goth into the more adorable lolita style to produce a very unique style that takes a lot of practice to perfect. So it's darker than sweet lolita, but much sweeter than Western goth. Most lolitas start off with this style because it much easier to find gothic items locally and it's very easy to coordinate.

Aw, thank you so much, I love drawing in this style - as you can see from how repetitive I can be
This is certainly not one of my favorite works, but I appreciate what you are saying, and thank you for it

I marvel so much over this style of digital art, as I know absolutely nothing about how it is achieved at all. I can only make very simple manips with very primitive programs, but I'm pretty much stuck with it. It's good to know that there are those who apply themselves with tablets, stylus, and all those wonderful programs and create such amazing things.

You did such a great job on the clothing, the amount of elements and the color spectrum are just right so it doesn’t look to crammed but still interesting enough

Thanks for your compliments I am glad you like it, I was also pleased with the colours is was sort of unplanned but I think I'll use that scheme again!

i love this most of all for tis style and how it doesn't look traced from anything, or like anything i recognize right off the bat.

i love the muted colors as well. and all the stripes/forms going on compliment that well.

I really like the way you did the expression of the shorter one. Especially her eyes. The taller sort of has this blank look on her face. Very cute carictors.
