I redrew the right portion of the hair and made the ponytail more apparent. Other than that, some more shading is done.

There's some inconsistency on the left portion of hair. I'll fix that. Than I'll move on to her poorly drawn hands.

The face is looking pretty good now.

One problem with pastecoin.com is that the site makes you wait for a confirmation before it becomes possible to download. The other download sites are better, because they allow you to download as soon as you have paid.

da2ce7 said on IRC wants to be in the background, so he will. So, I am making one exception....there is a background spot available.

I got the hair the way I wanted. All that is left is more shading, more shading, higher level shading, and more shading.


I started work on the cloak. One of the major feature is the hand grabbing it. I will be working to perfect that.

I continue to shade and make modification to the hair in the hope that I will have awesome badass hair.

Otherwise, I am working that right hand, gripping the cloak on the left.

Shading attempt on hair is still in flux.

Otherwise, I completed drawing the outline of the hand. Redrawing the cloak is now making signifigant progress.

I started coloring and shading the cloak. We'll see how this turn out.

The hair and face are looking good. Here are some things you might want to consider.

The USB stick still looks like a cigarette to me. Maybe if she had the plug end showing, instead of being in her mouth?

The upper arm still looks a little like it's coming from someone behind her. I think it might look better if the lower edge of the arm ends in a curve that marks the start of her elbow, instead of going on in a long straight line as if the elbow is far away under the cloak? But I'm lousy at drawing, so I don't know.

By the way, I love the way the socks/tights reach different heights up her legs. All the best nerds are disorganized in some way about their appearance.

The plug is sticking out. I guess it wasn't obvious enough.

Ok, I'll make the curve more obvious.

Not true. The knee cap is on a different level.

More coloring of the right side cloak. I readjusted the left arm's curve to be more obvious and made the width smaller.

As for shading, I learned that I did it wrong, by examining how real clothes fold. So I am in the processing of examining how they fold and how is it shaded and apply that to the girl's cloak.

Today is generally right side cloak coloring and cleaning day.

More coloring and cleaning of cloak! I also continued to refine the hair and the left arm.

Folds are hard for me to understand/draw but I think I am getting the hang of how they work.

Hair looks great! The purple side of the cloak looks great (especially the folds), except for the way that the bottom of the cloak ends in a straight line exactly lining up with the bottom of the chair. The thumb on her upper hand looks just a little too thin at the tip. Compare it to the thumb on the lower hand, which looks very good.

I don't download every version, just once every three or four versions, but it's fascinating to see this evolving.

Thanks for the feedback on how things look. It really help.

Sometime I don't get downloads at all, but it just mean that I need more fans and more exposure and more artworks.

MOAR coloring and adding folds to the cloak.

It's too bad that I don't have much time to do other details, such as fixing the thumb and adding more shading to the hair. Thumb a total failure but I did get some shading for the hair.

Oh, I know some anatomy, but it doesn't mean that I am going draw them well. For the record, I used my own hand as a guide.

Yes, I know that the eyes are way too big, and the shoulder too narrow..but that's just anime style.
