Description
A small piece I made last night while reading the newest installments of Gothic Charm School [link]Portraying the Lady of the Manners rendered in my own style, inked with felt tip pen, and coloured with pencils for that softer look.
Don't ask me how long it took...

Wow. That's really awesome. You should show it to the Lady of the Manners. She loves fanart.

Thank you for the kind compliments. And I'm aware of the Lady's liking of fanart. Tried to find some place where I could post it upon completion, but to no avail.

awesome anatomy and form, perfect use of expression, and it all holds your personal style of drawing. great work all around. no photoshop or a scanner over there? would take your stuff up to new levels. I may have a copy of Photoshop for you.

Yay! Thanks for those wonderful words! 
No photoshop, I'm afraid. Been wanting to buy it for some time now.
But I do own a scanner. Never been one to photograph my art.

This has a very soft look, despite the harsh look of the character.

It does? hmm... think you're right. Might be the work of the pencils. They tend to make the pictures softer to look at. Actually love those old photographs where the photographer painted in eye, hair and skin tones on their initially sepia toned portraits. Might've been a subconcious source of inspiration.

I've never heard of this before, but the concept is somewhat reminiscent.

You haven't? Huh... guess that is one of the tidbits of information I've sucked up from somewhere (and taken for granted others knows of too).
Heh... though they used watercolour to paint the eyes, mouth, hair, and whatnot, people who commissioned the colouring of said photos had to get things right themselves. Mistakes could not be corrected.
A common mistake was to give a brown-eyed girl blue eyes. An error which often meant quarrels amongst couples who'd spent large sums on one piece of chemicalized paper.
Oh, the most common colours used were blue, green, brown and red.

How long did it take?
Just kidding.
I think this work is just amazing! Beautiful! I especially like her face and her lips! But everything is just perfect.
Might have done something more exciting with the background?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm glad you find her appealing.
Still, yeah. Background could've been better made.
But considering the lady was done right after 1am, and I was beyond exhausted at that point, a hasty, wishy-washy background (which looks much better on the original) was all my brain could muster at that time.

Oh lovely! I'm sure she would be most pleased with this rendering of her self. I personally always she her cradling a cupcake, looking absolutely gothtastic in a board meeting, simply because the idea of her having a desk job amuses me so.

Hehehe... Truth to be told; I too imagined her in a similar manner, but ended up like this once I began drawing.
Oh, I must say you have an absolutely adorable avatar.
