Description In spite of all the things you never wanted. When You're left out in the cold. You dance like a queen. Your silhouette is still my reflection. You speak to me in riddles.

Is something on your mind? Hands are cold as ice she says. Tell me about your secret life.

These are song lyrics that I thought represented Izumi. Akire's mother.
She's a fortune teller, and a roaming gypsy. She gives her life for her lover and her children.

Copic, prisma markers, Faver-castell pitt pens,White gel pen

This is my favorite Erika drawing of all time. Having the privilege of knowing her for like 8 years, I've been able to see how much she's grown artistically. I feel like this picture is a beautiful example of what you can do with years of practice, and now she can flip through her portfolio and look at the physical reward for all of her hard work.
Congratualations on a beautiful drawing bestie<3

It's AMAZING!!!
Incredibly detailed, with all the patterns and folds and beads and that small blue tear in the corner of her eye and the white gel pen patters on the scarf - I can hardly take my eyes off of it!
And I adore the colours you chose for this
I love the pose and the way the scarf adds to the movement and fills in the space
This is so awesome it makes me want to draw something like this! And the lyrics you gave her are awesome, too, and fit the way you portrayed her in the pic.
Simply amazing!

Well Thank you and some credits go to you as well because after looking at your drawings, they made me want to brave drawing movement in clothing.

The colors are great and work well with each other, and the attention to detail is inspiring. The movement, the color, the emotion... this picture pulls you into her world and you can't help but imagine being a little girl listening to her mother sing and dance.

Very nice use of marker. I wish I could get clean lines like that the first time around. I always have to start in pencil & go over/erase several times.
Keep drawing!
