Winter for Yokko by PuraTori

Winter for Yokko

Description

Something new from me! Finally... (so I'm assuming no one will see this)
I know I've ignored updating for months now since I'm too much of a perfectionist and should just leave my works as they are and post them up so I can see my progression. Ok enough of me... to the artwork!

Initially a Spring entry for Yokko.deviantart.com 's season contest but it eventually turned into a Winter theme. (I just love blue too much...:)) I knew the competition was off so then it will just be an artwork dedicated to Yokko whose artwork is refreshing and has a unique flair. :D

The lady depicted is fashioned in a Victorian themed dress.

Utensils:
Mechanical Pencil 2B 0.7
Inked with some random pen I found... (I bothered to check now... it was a Unipin 0.1)

All of it coloured on Photoshop. I used those free brushes which came with photoshop (i.e. butterflies, roses) and overdid the picture with them! hahaha.. so noob.

I used meisan.deviantart.com 's watercolour texture for fun and thought the outcome looked really interesting so kept it in the final piece. (and plus I fail at watercolour and i was really excited...) Her style inspires me. This is where I got her awesome texture pack. http://meisan.deviantart.com/art/5-WATER-COLOR-TEXTURE-PACK-123401719?offset=25#comments

Enjoy.

and yes, if you want to view it on devianart for some odd reason: http://a-o-i-t-o-r-i.deviantart.com/art/Winter-for-Yokko-137104735

If you did check, you must have noticed how lazy I was as I pretty much implanted the description from there and put it here. : )

I love this picture. The detailing on the dress is really good. Man, why do so many people on here make my pictures look fail.

Aww thank you very much! With your talents and continued practice you can easily surpass many. Good luck!

Always the artwork is beautiful when so much effort is put into it... And needs effort and beauty to get featured status.

PuraTori on September 27, 2009, 5:55:27 PM

Thank you very much. And from hard work an artist cannot be disappointed, therefore I am very pleased and will do my best for my works in progress. : )

I'm blown by this picture, mostly by the bow and hair.

I love how the bow mimics a butterfly that's just such a nice detail.

PuraTori on September 22, 2009, 3:54:00 PM

Thankyou! : D The bow was quite fun to draw actually, adding frills everywhere haha.

Thank you! ^^ Yeah it would probably look better if I drew the butterflies myself. : /
