Let Me help you up

Oh god...were to start. Okay, well this is the first picture I've ever submitted, were the pencil sketch took more than 1 hour to draw...which is a big deal to me, considering it usually takes me about half an hour then straight to the scanner!Holy crap though, Tenten was hard to draw!And my page wasn't big enough to fit her in!!*cries* But anyways...THEN the lineart took forever, and I'm horrible with lineart...I truly am.Then of course, the colouring. I seriously think I need a new shading style! I like the sketchy line-ness thing I do on oekaki's, but with photoshop...meh, it just doesn't look right. Maybe I'll teach myself to -dun dun dun- CELLSHADE!! Haha, ya right! Anyhoo...Of course, I DID have to try to do some different shading style on the skin, because skin just doesn't have the right...texture to have my normal shading...even though I don't use my shading for texture so much...I'm rambling...but ya. So, sketch, lineart, re-drawing Lee's head,colouring, then adding an unoriginal background...about 6-7 hours of my life gone. But all in all I'm very pleased with this pic!
