Description Another illustration Hahhahh... And it's another small one (-_-) But no poem this time, lol
Well, this is the Runaway Princess from my story, the one Nin and Domi are supposed to find Her name is Merlyn I guess you all can tell that she doesn't want to be a princess?
Huhm. I built her character off of an older drawing, "Princess Stella, Jester Luna"[link] hahah Well, I thought she fit with the story. So. LOL!

Tools:
Faber-Castell Manga illustration pens S, M and B (black, of course... There were grey Bs in the set too)

Oh wow, thank you! Yeah, it did take some time But I guess I'll have to, should I have any hope of making it an illustration for the book I'm writing

I loved your inkwork and composition in this! o.o Your art seems like a very unique style of children's books illustration! I'll definitey feature this one in my next journal. :3

Oh, WOW, thank you so very much! It makes me really happy to hear that, because I'm writing a children's book right now, and this is supposed to be one of the illustrations

OMG! I'm amazed at all the details that you put into this picture! You must have a lot of patience. My mind would explode after awhile. XD lol. Pretty awesome picture!

Cokemad In reply to ashforyoursoul [2008-11-08 20:56:54 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Well, I try the best I can I guess what makes it easier for me to be patient, is that I have a goal with my drawings now: I want to illustrate the stories I'm writing, and to do that, I must become better! I can't have crappy illustrations in the book, 'cause people won't want to buy it then!

Sorry for the late reply

You're welcome!
I usually lose patience with myself after awhile. I love drawing detailed
pictures but I either get lazy, impatient, or I simply don't have the time.
And it gets bad when I do sketches. Sketches are supposed to be simple and to
get the main idea on to paper like poses and such. But I go into detail-crazed
mode. And then my head explodes afterwards because I get frustrated. XD lol

Cokemad In reply to ashforyoursoul [2008-11-15 00:34:00 +0000 UTC]

Hahahh, ooohh I understand that all too well XD It used to be like that for me too Now I don't do the details when I draw the sketch, I do it afterwards instead. It's a hella lot easier, I've figured! I don't get tired of drawing that fast anymore, and I can add lots of stuff here and there XD I don't seem to able to finish, so I've got new problems to replace the old ones... Yay... (-_-; )

ashforyoursoul In reply to Cokemad [2008-12-10 01:58:47 +0000 UTC]

Sorry that it has taken me so long to comment back.
lol I have been getting lazy about that.
Anyway, I'm starting to draw the details after I am
done with the sketch and it makes it alot easier for me.
It was like a slap in the face. lol I usually can't work
on a single picture for more than 2 hours in a single sitting.
Like you said, I will add stuff here and there. But I usually
don't get them done so I have tons of unfinished pictures that
I will have to finish....eventually.

Cokemad In reply to ashforyoursoul [2008-12-12 23:26:58 +0000 UTC]

Hahahh, yeah, well, I feel even worse, 'cause I take a long time to answer too I don't have internets in the city, though, so I guess that's why
Oh, I see
I do draw for a long time, but I really shouldn't... I always end up drawing from am to pm, and that doesn't help when I have school to attend the next morning
Aww, that's too bad I would like to see what they (would?) look like

ashforyoursoul In reply to Cokemad [2008-12-13 00:11:48 +0000 UTC]

The only time that I spent more than 2 hours on a drawing was a drawing that I did for a friend that died in a car accident. This is the picture: [link]
Anyways,some of my best drawings come from when I draw in the early morning like 3AM. But I can't stay up that late anymore...I usually pass out before that time. lol
I was thinking of putting up some of the unfinished pictures to see people wanted to see me finish them. Hopefully I can do that soon. But I get pretty lazy. lol

Oh, that is so sad I'm sorry for your loss! I guess something like that really would make one push oneself harder It's beautiful!
Hehehh, yeah, it would be great to be able to stay up that late If I ever really become a writer, I'll sleep during the day, and write at night
You should do that, I'd definetely check it out At least you'd know if people like the idea

Once again, I got lazy about commenting back. I'm sorry. XD
Thanks alot!!!
I would totally become nocturnal and work on pictures at night but
I have school to worry about. I mostly draw at night during the summer
because I have nothing to worry about.

Thank you, thank you so much! Ghah, I've been practising and forcing myself into adding more detail, hahah It takes a lot more time, though
...I was thinking to use it to illustrate the story I'm writing... if it ever gets published

alexilaiho2009 In reply to Cokemad [2008-10-26 00:40:57 +0000 UTC]

you're welcome ^^ lol I've tried to do that but always end up ruining pictures when I do I never know what to add

That'd be cool. lol. I bet it will Just gotta write and bring it to multiple publishers until it does ^^ If your writing is as good as your art, you'll have no problem

Yeah, I know what that's like I've had my share of screw-ups, that's for sure... I didn't think of it this time, though I guess that since princess dresses are kinda supposed to be detailed, it might have been easier (Nice reason, lol) Well, I really don't know

Thank you! It's so nice to know that you believe in me!
I really hope it'll work out... Nothing's for certain when it comes to those things.
- But first I need to finish that damn story! Noes!
