I started this in one of my art classes, and I really enjoyed it so I finished this piece. It has been a long while since I had uploaded some traditional artwork. I really hope you guys enjoy this manga/comic styled art piece.

This is an old character I made about 3 years ago. I haven't drawn her in so long! She has very fair skin, light blue green eyes and platnium blonde hair. My sweetheart ~Battosai8055 says she looks like Marilyn Monroe. ^^; I think she does too, hee hee. She's dressed up for Halloween, she's so sweet, she isn't anything like a witch. :XD:

:iconleoshi:
Good gravy my lady, this is really quite an outstanding work. Fancy in that you don't need color to convey the message of the picture for that matter. What vivid detail here as well, especially in the clothes. And wow, I really like the details in the wrinkles. In a way I think they look a bit better in monochrome, they draw more attention to themselves. In addition the visual contrast between the highlights and shadows in the clothes feel much more natural then the faded transitions in your color works. Eh, to me at least, which to me make it feel like a step up.

Moving on, I like her posture, it feels natural and I don't see any particular flaws in it's structure. The pumpkin she is leaning on also feels natural, again no flaws. I'd say something about casting shadows, but seeing as how the scene feels very evenly lit with very soft if not nearly flat light, it's doesn't seem to be a significant issue.

Lastly, I like the background. The roses are a really nice touch, they give this one an additional dark twist. It's a clever addition really, again no issued with it.

Well done I believe, overall I can't find any glaring flaws within this. An excellent work worthy of the holiday! =D

This looks more manga-y than comicy, though I can see the comic influence with the inked lines in the hair and pumpkin.

I also like the deviation shown here. Deviation is good, I like experimentation.

But seriously, what is Flash?

And yeah she does look like Marylyn Monrose lol.

You're right, she does kind of look like Marilyn Monroe. I get a very classic, '50s-ish vibe from her. The little details everywhere make the piece just that much better. The shading is absolutely gorgeous. I love the pumpkin in the corner, it's adorable! I think the best thing about this picture is just how perfect and precise everything is. The color scheme of only black, white, and gray really adds a lot, too. Fantastic job. :heart:

Happy Halloween to you, too! :D

:D Wow! Thank you so kindly for the sweet comment! :huggle:

^_^; You're right, but comic artist ink all their artwork with pens while manga artist used these texture print pads. I only used pens, but it looks manga stylish. ^^; I like experimentation too. Thanks for the comment joe! :glomp:

:D Yeah, I think people should put up more traditional stuff. Digital isn't everything. :XD: Thank you so much for commenting Bettina! :hug:

Wow Jojo! Did you do this in marker? I think I can see the marker marks and some sharpie marks as well! XD Heehee! But this is great! The shading is absolutly wonderful! I really love the flowers on her hat and the humongus beads in the background are greatly drawn with the shine! It's all amazing Jojo! :glomp: I actually thought this was suppose to be apart of a manga, it's drawn so close to one!
Again, great job on this Oneesan! :hug:
