Stone Maiden Final

Pencil, watercolor and watercolor ink on watercolor paper

Final lineart

I'm gonna stick roses in at the bottom and on the vines on the girls. But lineart is finished for the most part. Due in four days oh god.

Story Roughs

Our first assignment for Children's Book Illustration was 12 roughs. Here are the most successful ones~







I got a good review but I need to make my style less "anime." I get that a lot. This change is going to be time-consuming and difficult, but for the sake of my grade (and I really do like and respect my teacher), I'll try.

I'll be uploading progress shots as I go.
