Description
Originally done on paper, plain old pen, most of it drawn free hand with pen directly, not pencils! >
Colors and shading were thrown in on Photoshop. And yes, I mean thrown. This was more something on composition, lines, and patterns, pretty coloring would've made the piece too complex and distracting, thus the rather monochromatic colors and the lack of shading for the most part. >< I know, total artist babble. No, that is not a Maiko, maiko are too sweet, I just simply choose a Maiko-esque hair do, namely the momoware style. It's one of my characters(Setaiha) with her hair done up in a style similiar. This is something a little different then I normally upload, this kind of babble is usually left to rot in my sketch books, but I really liked the composition of this one, and it wasn't utter babble sketching, there's some reaccuring motifs and story elements. ><

Your line work and style is great. It's elegant, yet it's has an edgy, dark feeling to it. The title you picked works really well with the piece, too. You can't see scars on her, but the images you used around her seem to reveal deeps ones inside.

your thoughs on the color of this piece are dead on...i love it exactly how it was and i agree that there would have been too much going on if you had used either more color or meticulously done color
i love the balance of the piece...the music staff really serves as a path for the eyes...guiding them through picture
it's awsome that this was done in pen right from the start!

This work seemed very interesting to me due to the colors used, emotional layers and hidden meaning.
Even the title makes you seek the mystery within - that's oriental in every way

Thanks. I find naming a piece very important, and I thought I would play off the complexity with a simple title.
Thank you for your words.

beautiful designs and symbolism. I love how I can't see the face of the figure, so I'm forced to focus on the elements around her. elegant piece.

Beautiful work. Love the incorporation of red into this. Really adds to it.

this is crazy like something out of my sketchbook. i think you should stick with one type of coloring though. blend/gradient or solids. personally i'd choose gradients to make it more tattoo like.

this is so dramatically conjected, but because of the lack of colour, this doesn't at all look over the top!

wow I like this. the hair is so perfect. I like the all the details to look at, all the things hidden inside. I think the slight redish shading is effective in drawing in the eye. :wink:
