Description Prismacolor/mech. pencil, no ink in this at all and no reference for the pose/outfit. Just a practice on coloring, perspective, composition, folds etc. So if this is inaccurate or in general bad, it's because I was working on some of my worst fears when it comes to art. Failed at some things and had to touch up in Photoshop CS.

Every time I look at this it makes me yawn, damn contagiousness >>

I love the sheets, beautiful work, and I think you got it all right too

I have a picture like that too, I look at it and yawn my head off. And then get frustrated looking at it because I feel like sleeping.

I love this picture! I really love when you color with colored pencils, honey. You are so good at it. Also, it's great how you dew it and didn't erase the pencils lines when you colored it. It gives the pic such depth.

Brilliant image and much respect for doing it and trying new things, its a breath of fresh air when you see someone breaking from the comfort zone and trying new things.

I think the perspecive came out beautifully. There's almost a three-dimensional quality to it. Even in the thumnail you could tell that it was an overhead view. The forshortening on her trunk (chest and abdomen) are really great.

Frastus [2006-06-09 01:07:34 +0000 UTC]

Well I'm fighting the urge to yawn myself and so far I am winning.

But I love the prespective on this one!! So good it is, and the bed cloth looks nicely textured too... and well of course, the main character, nice job mixing a human yawn and a cat yawn. Must be what makes it so contagious.

Woah, this is really amazing!! I think this might be my favorite piece of yours, if only because you took risks and pulled it off so well! The perspective looks so amazing, I love the angle of it, and the hand that she's reaching backwards looks so good! All the creases in the bedding look so real and I love how you did her top!! Really great work!

Ahh, more gorgeous colouring! The folds are awesome, and the perspective on her figure is very well done! Your characters have amazing style. I really love the way the leg and feet below the knee are a shade darker, that works perfectly. And the purple and orange and beige go really well together!

*Unburies self from internets drama to comment on something for once!*

Whoo. o.o Yay for tackling a lot of issues head on. :3 I'd say you did mighty, mighty well. ^_^ Only thing that stands out to me is her tail looks kinna flat.

All in all, it's quite awesome. ^_^ And really pretty, too. :3

FuchsiaSeraphim [2006-06-02 14:22:30 +0000 UTC]

That's really lovely. I always did think it took a flare to use colouring pencils successfully- a flare you evidently have. The colours are beautiful; very rich and really stand out.

Such a cute picture; I possibly would of liked to see this CGed, since the combination of traditional media and photoshop slightly distort the overall beauty.

Shanella [2006-06-02 02:01:01 +0000 UTC]

I really love the perspective, you made it appear as if there was a camera above her and that's a hard perspective to show. The folds in the blankets look very nice, I love how you shaded them. The character's design is something I also like, her loooong fluffy tail and occasional spots. Her ears are gorgeous and the pose is divine. Great work, I love it.

SirMartin1 [2006-06-01 23:18:22 +0000 UTC]

how DID you keep from going insance with the meticulousness of those folds and detail of the fur and hair?! this is phenominal if there are mistakes youd need a laser micrometer to pick em up!

Cab-Rod [2006-06-01 23:06:52 +0000 UTC]

Don't feel that frustrated with the perspective.Think that making it is very hard and you did it good enough to show without realizing any mistake(sincerely,it's hard to realize them) Vera has a good clothing this time,I really liked the long socks and the pose of the legs.The hair and the fur has a good colouring.The expression really incitates to yawn,because I did it...or maybe is because I'm commenting this picture at 1:00 am?

Whatever,just one thing I disliked:I wouldn't added the mark or painted the floor with photoshop.Although you first see the figure and the bet,soon or late you end watching other details of the image and the change from traditional to digital media is uncomfortable for me.

Maybe I spoke too much for a practice drawing,but I think these ones are the best ones to be commented,because you could do a better version or simply,as you've learnt of your mistakes,you won't do them and you'll avoid them.
