Description
This was made for one of my bestest friends, who isn't into manga but still supports my passion, and who has always been there when I needed her the most. ^^I haven't drawn CCS for a while, now it feels strange using that style again... but drawing Tomoyo's hair is so enjoyable! <3
The reference for the pose is from an official illustration; Tomoyo and Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura belong to Clamp.

That is BEAUTIFUL! Could you elaborate on how you coloured this? Was it traditional paint? How did you get the ink to stay?

Thanks a lot! <3 <3
Yes, it's all traditional: the tools are watercolors for the coloring, and one of those pen which simulates china ink for the black ^^ (sorry, I don't know how these pens are called in English!)

Thank you! Did you first paint it and then do the inking or did you ink first and then paint? I simply love this style!

No prob! ^^ I usually ink first and then paint, though for this one I did some extra inking even after the painting, to strengthen some lines.
Thank you! X3

I see! Do you use waterproof ink then? How do you get it to stay when you paint over it? Sorry to bother you again!

No prob! ^^
Yes, it's waterproof, so you can watercolor over it! Watercolors usually aren't thick enough to cover the ink; if when you're done with the colors the lines still look too faint, you can re-ink them.

Thank you very much for your information! I would love to try painting and inking together like this, that's why I bothered you with questions.... >___< Thank you!
