This is my personal bookmark! No, it's not like those flimsy tall ones, I hate those! XP The fall out and rip easily <.< I made it for the current book I'm reading: Watership Down by Richard Adams. It's a really good story, you should read it if you haven't!
Originally a little pencil drawing on an index card, Toby said that I should color it on openCanvas - so I did ;3 And with his help, I finished my bookmark ^-^ I'm really proud of this one too! It's my very best colored drawing! And it was lots of fun to draw and color I'm not going to set it up for a print, but if you want me to, just ask! ^^
So d'you think Akiko likes her beanbag chair? I wonder what she's reading!
This is quite a colorful drawing you have here. The varying colors of orange, red, and blue make the mood stand out as very bright and lively, even if the activity is a simple reading of a book. The background manages to mix very well with the foreground, and in the end, it does look like a lovely illustration one would find in a children's book.
The shading style is simple, yet very effective when it comes to the cute style you use. The red and blue shadows are what I most enjoy about your coloring method. It manages to smoothen the shapes pretty well! The composition itself is a very adorable presentation. Just reading a simple story (which is probably filled with even more adorable stories!) in the comfort of a beanbag chair is, again, a relaxing a concept to look at.
I'm pretty sure you can tell I admire this picture. You did an excellent job on it, no doubt. ^^ You're improving rapidly! You'll see, you'll be on your way to drawing more illustrations as inspiring as this.
You are reading Watership Down!? That is my FAVORITE BOOK EVER!!!! I had to read it three times before I had enough, and then read it a fourth time because I loved it so much! The sequel is so-so, but the part called Speedwell's Story rocks! X3 Nice book choice, and I like the bookmark!
