PLEASE FULL VIEW! So you won't miss out on the nice little sparklies

Okay. I'm not slacking! I swear! This pic is just a practice drawing I did cuz I was getting lazy, thus the lack of my usual mass of details. But worry not, all of you detail lovers, you'll like my next picture I promise

Anyways...
First thing to adress...her HAND.
Yes, I know its big.
No, she is not part man, since she has a large, manly hand.
Yes, I know when a hand is pressed to the window, it's white, not a darker shade. I totally blinked out on that when I colored it.
Yes, I totally screwed up the proportions of her hand compared to her body.

Here's why: When I drew it, I fully intended to make her hand only SLIGHTLY larger, since she's pressing it up against the window (which is in front of her, btw), so you know...the hand would seem bigger. BUT. I totally messed up and made it too big, and I didn't realize it until I inked it. I nearly exacto-knifed this picture up out of frustration, but I didn't since I already took a long time inking it. Oh well. This is just a practice art for coloring anyways...my next picture has much better anatomy than this, no worries there

Hmm...description. Well, the title says it all. It's pretty much just some random girl staring out of the window, deep in thought. Or memories, I guess. I made the overall colors soft and feminine so that it fit the mood of this picture.

Materials used: Sakura micron pens, Prisma color pencils, with LOTS of blending w/ my Clear blender marker, and a touch of prisma markers here and there.
Size of actual picture: 8x11 inches, I believe. It's small compared to my other works, cuz this is in the new sketchbook I got

Time Spent: 10 hours. Oh so fast.

Thats a very pretty pic - Looks so cute like she is longing for someone ^o^
I did read that the hand was probably not perfect,but to me , I don't notice the flaws *blush*

Btnw - I hope you didn't mind I used your'e pic as a ref for the arm for my pic ?
I tried to search everywhere for a good pic with a hand pressig againts a window or something,but nothing - til I found this (I only looked at it,not tracing or copy it - I would never do that btwn XD )

I must say - I been doing the same mistake on my pic too,that with the darker shade,instead of
light color,but meh -I don't want to go and fix mine,haha ^^
Realy hope your'e not mad at me for using it as a ref O.o

Hell no you did great, dont doubt yourself and tell your self you messed up. I could never draw that good so be proud. (we always learn from our mistakes)

Oo, pretty XD I love everything with the hair especially, but the entire drawing is beautiful; the way she touches the window, fingers diverged, makes it all so much more life-like.
