Description I've got mixed feelings about this picture.

Firstly, yellow is a very hard colour to shade with certain other colours. Second, green doesn't make for the best shadow colour. Thirdly, my shading is far from the best in this picture and I'm also trying to figure out painter properly. And there are small weirdnessess here and there.

However! I scanned this as double the size I usually do so I really like the line-art here, I'll probably do it this way from now on even if it takes a full day to do the linework. I like the movement of it and the very top of the list... Tomoe actually, for the FIRST time since I've drawn her, actually looks like Tomoe to me 8'DDDD HURRAY!! 5th time's the charm I guess.

This was a a giant excuse to draw Noriyuki... in his disguise from Book 12. I loved seeing the boy-Lord in commoner clothes. I dunno why. That just had me tickled pink. (But I generally love Noriyuki in that book) It's just a darn shame he has to wear clothes because his markings are absolutely delicious X333 Especially in the scene where he was bare chested and we properly get to see the black and white clashing with each other. I love it.

This scene doesn't really happen in the book.. ..but whatever XDDD it was lots of fun to draw. I don't have to make sense all the time.

Anyway, I'm disappointed with my colouring skills ;____; I'm generally unsatisfied with my colouring and I'm not sure how to fix that. I'm trying to get more confident with cast shadows. It's ok though. but I expected better from myself. I like the actually 'drawing' part of the drawing though XDD if that makes sense.

Things that went into making this:

Secrets of NIMH, Atlantis the last empire, Sleeping Beauty, All 3 Back to the Futures, the Life the Universe and Everything Audio book and more podcasts than I was able to count.

I was stuck for a title

Please hit download if the image looks a little fuzzy. thanks!
