[EDIT] o___o;; Thanks, but yes, I do know that the English word is "Masquerade". "Mascarade" is the French word. I went for it on purpose because it sounds like "mascara" (eyelash thickener), which I find glamourous and fun considering the picture. Just thought I'd clear that up, considering the amount of comments I receive about the title.


Needed to vent out after the events that you know of if you've read my journal lately.
So I did what I do best to relax.... draw!


My new markers arrived at home!! They're The Love. I also bought a few more skintones/powdery pinks, because that's a colour scheme I really love and have been craving to use for a while.
So there! I'm finally able to add a little bit more of colour to my artworks, in a much less painful manner than with pencils.

This is a kind of tribute or gift for ~Fushigimidori , who is a fantastic artist coupled to an adorable person. This is rather inspired of her artworks.
I've been wanting to draw gothic lolitas since I came back from the Japan Expo. (Incidentally, this convention has been most inspiring, I've met so many talented people there *___* )

I basically recycled an old pose from one of the oldest pictures in my gallery: [link] .
I didn't change many things, just slightly the angle and hand. And of course the character design, obviously.
It's one of the few old drawings that I still kind of like. God how much I improved since back then!!

I hope you will enjoy it!


[Made with Staedtler pigment liners, Pantone markers, colour pencils, white paint]

Beautiful dress, I'll say. I love the gal's hair too. Coincidently, that's the type of hair I want for my sweet 16. It's beautiful and the quality is fantastic, I will tell you however that the hand seems too big.

Hey again, I said a couple of months ago that I am going to try and recreate this outfit for my university Masquerade Ball, which I'm still going to try and do! But I was wondering something; I've been asked to make a poster to publicise the event and this piece came to mind. I read your terms and conditions about using your work and so obviously if I were to use it I would give you full credit. The only thing is I may need to crop it slightly and remove part of the background to save printer ink... would that be alright? If not then that's absolutely fine, I'll try and draw my own or something
Hope you had a good Christmas and new year! x

I take it it's a student event, not something you're making money with? If so, sure, no problem. Just please credit with a link or something to my website on your posters, so that everybody wins!

Yeah, you're right. I didn't notice that on the sketch, and once it was inked it was too late for correction.
