Best Friends Forever

Hey everyone. Long time no see, eh? It’s been what, a couple weeks? Seems like it’s been forever.

Well, I’ve been having fun with some old pictures the past little bit. I come to bring you awesomeness made by the ultimate awesomeness—me. Just kidding, there’s no way I’m THAT conceited. Anyway, just thought I’d share a couple more pictures with you.

I drew and colored this a year ago this month (the blessed month of December). I never posted it here on FAC, but nonetheless, the drawing is a little old. I don’t like the original colored version, so I decided I wanted to redo it.

First, we’ll talk about the technicalities of the picture. I’ve been playing around with layers and styles and other things like that in photoshop. The background is one of my experiments (using a pattern with the bucket, overlay with the gradient, etc). I’m not necessarily sure it suits the two of us, but I like it anyway. I’m still learning how to properly shade and highlight as well as clothes in general (clothes are strange entities that are very difficult to color XP), but I think I’ve improved over the years. Purple is my favorite color, so that’s why I’m wearing it and I think blue looks really good on my best friend, so that’s why she’s in it. Please notice that this picture is a year old, so that anatomy isn’t the best. Also, I used a base as a reference for the actual, but I’ve lost the link. If I find it, I’ll put it in here.

(Hehe, the hair gets its own paragraph XD) I’ve been experimenting with different ways to shade and highlight the hair. Instead of trying for an anime style, I went with a more realistic style. I’ve become rather attached to it and it’s one of my favorite styles that I happen to use. It’s my favorite part of MY style too. Please do not bash it. I’m working on finding an eye-coloring style that I like. So far, this one works for me (Ignore the fact that I hate black pupils. I have too much fun not drawing those in XD).

Anyway, now I’ll finally talk about the people who see in this picture. I’m sure you recognize my anime self on the left, or at least I hope you do (from the two pictures I’ve posted of me already XP). The person on the right is my bestest best friend in the entire world, YoriXYamiForever!! I’m sure you can see the names next to us, or at least, I hope you do. I am Lego, full nickname is Legolas Greenleaf. My best friend is Ghost Wulf, or just Wulf. I adore her to death XD Just thought I’d share with you our awesome friendship.

I think that about covers it. . . . I don’t think there’s anything else XP I hope not.

Anyway, please leave me comments. I need the love. Also, if you have any drawing or coloring tips or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to drop those off with me. They make me feel good.
