Description Β 

I've been meaning to draw Samantha diving for a few years now, and I finally felt comfortable enough with my skills to pull it off.

Despite the idea for this piece taking years to see the light of the day, I actually completed this in under a day. Drawing Samantha wasn't hard and she only took me ~10 minutes to sketch (digitally), but the clouds took a bit of effort. I'm pleased with how they turned out, though.
Also, this is my second entirely digital piece. Ha, I've been sketching with my tablet so much lately that holding my drawing pencil while using my sketchbook the other day felt so weird

Oh, and I still intend to update Samantha Falco's ref sheet. Some of her colors and markings are slightly different now. I'll try to get that done before I leave for Florida towards the end of the month.

I think the clouds are nice.Β  Samantha is about to catch a very unfortunate pigeon I'd say.Β

With a top dive speed of 250 mph, she'll not use her talons: the impact alone will snap the pigeon inΒ  two.

I'm happy to be the first to see this as a wip today. Now here is the finished pic and you've done a great job.Β  The clouds look very nice. Well shaded. I love cell shading technique.Β  Samantha's anatomy is great and the blur effect helps give this the sense of speed.

Thank you The cell-shading technique is very nice and I love using it in my own art. Haha, I knew I absolutely had to apply a motion blur here.
