Character (Joeri) is mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the traditional I mentioned, sorry for it being late. I spent a long time trying to get it to look like the original, and while it's still lacking (the scanner ruined a lot of the shading), I'm pretty pleased.

I actually have a name for this character, Joeri (pronounced Your-ee), it seems to be a Dutch name for a boy, but I like it. :)

She'll appear in July looking completely different, but just look for the handle-bar crown she wears. :lol:

The anatomy isn't great since I couldn't reference it, and I realize her hair makes her head look big, but overall it's alright.

Titled "Prelude" because she will appear in my future works, so this is the "beginning".

Time: About 6 hours
Tools:
--Strathmore Drawing Paper, 9" x 12"
--Kimberly Graphite pencils pack (ranging from 4H to 8B) I only used 4H, HB, B, and 2B
--A variety of mechanical pencils for small details and Sanford Design Pencils
--Photoshop for edits and sparkles*

*Sparkles added in Photoshop because I don't have white paint (and I don't want to ruin the original either).

WOW! This came out AMAZING! All the little details just make it so much more beautiful, definitely deserves a fav. The pose is great, and the expression fits well. The wing thingies on her arms look fabulous--amazing job!

Thank you very much! The glowing effects were done with pencils and took a long time, so I'm glad you noticed that.

The shading is very light because my scanner isn't very good, but at least it's presentable. :hug:

Wow... you used a huge pencil range XD
The detail is quite amazing... I especially love how the wings came out. The way you did the shiny gems and stuff is great. It just looks wonderful. I don't really think the hair makes her head look big... it just looks like she has a lot of hair =) The anatomy is great for no reference, but her feet do seem a bit large. I really love how you didn't just make a bunch of light spots and a bunch of dark, but really used all the different pencils and incorporated all the shades into it. This is really nice. I shall fave it.

Don't look to others for knowledge, this is your story.

:lmao: I actually only used 4H to 3B (skipping in between), the pencils came in a pack with the huge range. I should edit that in the description.

Thank you, your comments are always so well thought out. I'm glad you liked the wings and gems, I spent a majority of my time on them. And thanks, I guess she does have a lot of hair. ^^;

Mmm, now that you mention it, her feet might be on the large side (the back foot), thanks for the critique!

Sketching/shading is always my favorite and a strong point, so I'm glad my years of shading practices paid off (even though the scanner didn't capture it correctly). Thank you! :hug:
