Artist's Comments

I wanted this to look somewhat like a scene out of my story ^^; ~ "Iris" (yeah, I think I'm going to stick to that now...) is a bit of a bookworm and likes to study all sorts of sciences and history :D so here she is snooping around the library...I wonder what she's researching?

Trying another slightly different style that's closer to my older work, more colourful and saturated don't you think? :S

It's a story I've had in my head for years called "Pursuit" I want to illustrate in some format but it's on hiatus since my drawing style keeps changing ^^;.
Thanks very much for your interest though!

thank you ~ I want to put more effort into backgrounds now ^^; but that'll double the amount of time I take to create a painting *dies*

98% of internet forum users put false statistics in their signatures to pretend they're better than everybody else. Put this in your signature if you're one of the 2% who are WAY too smart for that nonsense.

I love the way you color. Nice work on this!

The colors...!! *_* So lovely and so saturated... Haha. And she looks so innocent, yet intimidating with that expression. Such pretty eyes... I really like the way you painted the lips too. Realistic and feminine. Awesome use of perspective on the bookcase too.

It's always good to see people guessing a character's personality through my drawings - especially when they get it right, it means I'm doing things right!! haha. Thank you :hug:

I really like this one *FOR SHAME not commenting earlier*
This picture is absolutely wonderful! First, the entire composition. It's so well done :aww: I don't get to see a lot of backgrounds in painted pictures, nor do they usually contain any sort of perspective. The character design and clothing are also well done. And the colors! Like I said, you've got this tranquil style of coloring. It's very rich :aww:

But what I like most of all is the scene itself. You've captured a moment in the making with this scene. Just wonderful, really :heart:

Thanks ~ I don't usually make backgrounds like this, it was just I had a long summer break so I thought "why not?"

wow its amazing! wat type of utensils did u use
:iconmrjin:
thanks ~ there's a walkthrough of this in my gallery somewhere but the things i used in this painting were:
-large, wide flat sable brush for background wash
-medium round synthetic brush for filling in base colours and general painting
-small round synthetic brush for details and shading hair
-hard bristle cheapy paintbrush (flat/wide) for flicking paint
-dipping pen with ink to draw lines
-painted with watercolour


I think that's all the important ones haha. Hope it helps!
