Note: The description was copied from my DA page. The image I used was an original character.

I wanted to do something a little different than what I usually do, and that's doing front shots of characters. I don't do it that often and well, I need new things, right? I hadn't really been trying in the last few pictures that I have submitted. The shading was really simple and that's because I wasn't really in a dedicated mood. Hahah so yeah, that's why a lot of my stuf wa simply shaded. Today, out of boredom, I wanted to draw an image. I hadn't worked with hands in a long time so, as the title implies, I drew a lot of hands in this one. You can tell I need practice haha

I wanted to practice doing hair again :] I think it looks really awesome in this picture. I also wanted to work on fold again, since I hadn't touched those in a long time as well. I think they turned out much better than before :] Eeep!! :3 For those of you who have been watching me, you guys can kinda tell I have a fetish with sewed lips, yeah? ^__^ I love sewed up lips!! I thought it was quite appropriate for this image.

I wanted the eyes to stand out, so I used warm colors around them. I made the image less saturated than it really was to fit the mood. Ohhh yes...I also have this thing with like...lip piercings X3 I love them!!
