Sketch Diary: Colored - Portrait of a girl in my mind

And POOF just like that, it's colored in. I was trying out a couple different techniques and such on this so I'm relatively pleased with how it turned out. Skin is still a bit... blotchy. But that's what happens when I use cheap copy paper hah. Maybe I'll call her Cotton Candy Girl.

Sketch Diary: Inked - Sherlock movie clips

I've been cleaning up my old sketches and sketch books, scanning everything in, tossing old stuff that means nothing to me, and, in the case of this sketch, rediscovering those old sketches that I still love. So I inked it in! Always need more inking practice. Drawing in pencil doesn't really have to require a steady hand, smooth stroke. But ink is more unforgiving. Going back over a line to smooth it out can be disastrous, ending up with a line way thicker than what was originally desired. Stuff like that.
