K-ON: Sugar and Spiceby *cartoongirl7

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Traditional / Movies & TV

Materials: Copic sketch markers, PS3 for adjustments.
Time: 15 hours.

My K-ON! take on a Vocaloid video OTL;;
I figured I might as well try my hand at bright pinks and reds (I hate soft girly pink), but then half way through the pillows, I realized that I seriously lack these colors. I used like eight shades of pink/red/magenta, but only four of them made it though my scanner /fail.

I haven't drawn anything for the past month, so I feel a bit rusty. In any case, this drawing had to be done D:

Requested by a friend, who's birthday is tomorrow!

Your composition is great here! the line work is solid and the folds in the sheets and drapes are well done, but I have one issue. All of the papers are flat. They seem way too 2-d for this image, and given that you can do a great job on the drapes, why not add a wrinkle or two to the music sheets? There is also a problem with the foot that faces the viewer, it looks like its turned to far inwards over her leg. . . Otherwise, this is a very beautiful piece. The girl is cute too I like the way you used the blueish green to contrast against so much pink, good choice!

What do you think?

One thing that really stood out to me in this picture was the professionalism. The colors are in perfect sync, all the shading is fantastic, and it's very clean. You've obviously mastered using the Copics, and are knock-out amazing at every aspect that can be put to use with them.

Another thing that drew my attention was all the little details. Every time I looked at it, my eyes drifted to another specific thing, and it just blew me away. I adore the strawberries, they seem to work so well with the theme. The lace on Mio's clothing is beautiful, and putting a design on the curtains instead of leaving them blank was a nice touch; I think it shows character. And i just noticed you can see her leg through the curtains as well, which is more than an impressive look on things and take on detail.

Mio's clothing again works into that colors aspect. She stands out, obviously catching the on-looker's eye. Her personality really stood out to me.

Overall, this is an amazing work of art, and you are an extremely talented girl.
