Reference: x

Wasn't really aiming to make this look exactly like the reference image, mainly wanted to convey emotion.
I wanted to try drawing something in mainly black and white ^^ Also wanted to experiment with the watercolor tool in Oekaki more (Though some bits where I used watercolor were covered by bits where I used the pen tool in the end haha)
Overall pretty happy with the outcome (Especially since I tend to avoid drawing humans [I'm terrible at them!] and this is my first drawing of a person using Oekaki), had a lot of fun drawing this!

Outstanding quality of work with great values! I love it!

This is incredible. There's so much emotion and calmness in this.

This deserves a feature and deserves to be in advanced oekaki. You're amazing at drawing people! :3

Haha, I suppose I never really focused on humans? I always stuck to animals, as that's what I'm comfortable with, but it's always nice to go out of your comfort zone once in a while. This is actually the first human drawing I've ever drawn with a ref, which probably explains why my proportions normally look off! But thank you :)

Thank you! I originally wanted to put it in sketches and experiments, but since that was the board that appeared when I first saved, I didn't really give it a second thought, so.. that's that?

I'm flattered! I wouldn't say really good; just an artist who tries and strives to continuously improve x)

Thank you! I'm glad that what I wanted to show came through in the drawing!
I'm not sure I'm ready to be put in advanced oekaki just yet (The works in the advanced oekaki are just jaw-dropping!), but definitely am trying to develop my skills to the point where they will reach where I hope they'll reach!

Haha, the sketchiness of the face definitely throws off the realism a bit!
Thank you!

There's still a long way to go before I produce works that may actually be comparable to an actual photograph, (Interestingly I wasn't actually aiming for a photorealism piece for this one) but thank you! :)
