Fancy Samhain: A Copic Marker Illustration

Fancy Samhain: A Copic Marker Illustration

I was hoping to get this up by Halloween....aaaand it's gone. So in the spirit of keeping the holiday alive... dead... immortal.... here's a video treat (not a trick since I wasn't originally planning on recording this one)! Things I learned during this color binge: 1: R39 Garnet, E29 Burnt Umber, R24 Prawn make an awesome hat gradient @_@ 2: Ruffles are scary! 3: Don't leave masking tape on paper for a month...peeling it off is heartbreaking... I fell in like with this picture http://sakurafairy.deviantart.com/art... So I totally used it for inspiration/ a goal. I want to get better at people drawing and coloring skin. Skin is oddly difficult to get right and I find that it can definitely make or break an illustration. Her expression in the original is like, "Minion, please..." *eyeroll*, but I made a multi-liner boo-boo and had to expand her iris so it's looking out at a more level angle instead of up. Please check out her deviant art for more dresses of awesome and examples of her sewing prowess! As always, please leave some feedback on what you liked, didn't like, could like again after I beg forgiveness and eat a jar of Nutella.
