Description This was a Fakiru fanart I drew for a friend as her birthday present. I'm depicting Ahiru and Fakir, married, and in a rather intimate situation. As newly-weds I drew Ahiru with a rather coy look while Fakir is much more...confident, shall we say?

However having never drawn any sort of intimate fanart before, this was also a challenge for myself to see if I can actually draw something of that order. At first I was really flustered about drawing it, mostly because I have half embarrassed and half worried that I wouldn't be able to pull it off. But I was really surprised by the outcome and how much other people seemed to like it after I first posted it on LJ (which surprised me because I know intimate Fakiru fanart isn't every fan's cup of tea), and I hope you guys here on DA will like it too.

The picture itself was generated from four different sketches on four different sheets of paper because I have yet to figure out how to draw two characters so close together on one piece of paper. After I scanned the pencil drawing into the computer I added a tan colored layer and a tan colored gradient on Photoshop, then erased away some of the tan color to create the white chalk look for highlights, a visual effect I picked up from CLAMP's art work.

Wicked drawing!nice job with the night dress Ahiru's wearing.Also Fakir always did seem possessive 2; probably because of the tragic lost of his parents.But i love this piece. Full marks my friend

I love the colour effect in the background and how Ahiru is still IC from the faint but visible blush to her cheeks

Oh my, I really like the effects you did to create the shading and how it came out. It's so pretty.

I also like they're expressions, it makes them appear just a little bit shy and hesitant even though they're pretty comfortable around each other.

I thought about that actually. XD I always imagine Fakir afraid to become a daddy because he's scared Ahiru's going to lay an egg when she gives birth.

What a gorgeous drawing. It's relatively simple, yet so deeply evoking a scene right in front of my eyes (and that even though I actually have no clue what Anime~ they both come from!).
Both characters seem very deep and have a look of who they are and a story in their eyes. Feels thus as though the drawing itself tells a story.

Additionally, the effects you described come over very well - and it's great that you described exactly how you made them. Aw (L)
