Description Full view please. >_<

While I was finishing up the shading for this picture, I heard "On the Way Down" by Ryan Cabrera (I think that's his name...) and I thought it fit well with the picture. The couple looked more angsty at first, but I toned their expressions down a little bit.

I know there are probably a lot of problems with this picture, but I'm actually kind of proud of the shading. I don't usually shade like this on my anime pictures, so this is like a first. It just takes so much time. @_@ And I admit that I got a little bit lazy with shading during the end. I can only spend so much time on a picture before I start getting tired of it. I was going to draw a background, but then figured looked okay like this.

Anyway, sketched in pencil. I did the lyrics in Photoshop 7.

O.O OMGosh, that's so cute! I can't beleive I didn't comment on this earlier. . . T_T Forgive me! The peaceful expressions on their faces is so sweet, and the use of value and light in the picture really give an overall serene feel; with the way the shading is done, I really imagine that to the right side of the bed there's a window with a blue-sky sunny day outside. ^^ I love the attention to detail in this picture too, such as the wood carvings on the bed and the stripes on the boys shirt. I love how you did individual looking hairs on the head too!

I luv it, so I'm gonna fave. XD Kay? *Steals*

Pencil shading is fun XD And drawing two people interacting is not an easy task so kudos on that ^^ The only thing that's a bit iffy in my mind is whether they're siblings or lovers...because given her size in comparison to him, she could be his kid sister.

But I still love it XD Great piece.
