Way cool. Nice work! I do like the color scheme. Also, it seems like there is some really precise drawing going on. Nicely done.

Aw thank you so much! I'm glad to hear someone else likes the color scheme as well! I'm a huge sucker for tans and reddish browns. Haha and what can I say, I love me some fine detail work! :D Thank you so much for the sweet comment, I really appreciate it. c:

Wow! I love you're sona's design! And your art is cute! ^3^

Hehe aw thank you so much! I'm flattered you say that :D

Saw this on the front page and all I could think was D'awwww! Then I thought MUST HUG SOMETHING. Then I thought I should write this down.

So I did

Keep making pretty art o3o

Haha how amusing! Well, I'm glad to know my art can make people want to hug something! xD

But really, thank you so much for the kind comment, I really appreciate it. <3

The transitions between blue and green and blonde and green in the hair looked like marker lol. That's some great pencil work.

Wow, I just realised that they did it in pencil o.o; I agree with you, Bonus, it's pretty awesome how they did that o: I can't get an even/thick colour, but that might be because of the pencils I use? They're some weird Japanese ones that come out kind of pastelly and gross. Suggestions?

I've noticed that the paper really matters for CP's. I really only have access to cheap printer paper. You can't blend on it, holes in the color show up. The pencil definitely matter too. Most people prefer Prisma color pencils. I have a healthy mix of those and crayola. The crayolas make me rage lol but I've seen people do a lot with a little, it just takes time and practice to explore what you can do with your materials.

Yup, it really has to do with paper and pencil brand, like Bonus said. I almost exclusively use Prismacolor, and I only really use other brands if nothing else is available. They're nice because they are soft with strong color, unlike Crayola and other "none artist grade" brands that are very hard with weak colors.
Paper also makes a huge difference, but you can definitely work around paper type more than quality of the pencils, I feel. I actually did this on a type of paper made especially for pens and markers. The paper is very slick and great for blending markers, but... not great for pencils, especially not colored pencils. But I was able to work around that, tweak the way I colored, and I don't think it turned out half bad. :D

Anyway, hope that was some help to you! Sorry for rambling. :'D;;

Huh, I guess you're right! Funny thing is, I wanted to color this in marker, but I had none with me yesterday... maybe I'll do a marker piece of her in the near future. o: But thank you so much for the compliment! I quite enjoy using colored pencil :]

Anytime ^_^ I'll check back for the marker one.

I'll look for the marker version as well~! I love your art, Boq
-Surprise hug attacks walks away awkwardly- o.o;.....

And Bonus; Thanks for the tip on pencils ;D I'm not exactly experienced with the whole colouring, or even drawing biz, for that matter. I only really became interested in seriously doing art maybe... 2 or 3 years ago and haven't practised as much as I could've ^^; I wasn't aware paper made a difference, I've been blaming my poor pencils and my own lacking ability (Which still probably has most to do with it...) for messing up my pictures. I'll get some new sketchpads and those Prismacolour pencils next time I go to store

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat actually >.< I'm no artist myself and talk is easy, but that's what I've heard and learned in the past couple years.
