'Caught in the Act' | inks, copic markers, white colored pencil, white gel pen | 9x12 | Commission

I finished  daemionfox's commission yesterday afternoon.

I'm really happy with how Ruby's jeans turned out. The first color I was using to shade her jeans was coming out thin and streaky, so I ended up rubbing more color in some areas than others. Then I thought I'd try to fix the coloring by making creases and wrinkles.

Using the blue lines for the mirror worked well. I ended up laying a layer of BG11 down over everything first, then laying colors lightly on top of that. It gave everything a nice bluish tinge. A soft layer of white colored pencil on top added the slightly faded look.

As for the lace on Ruby's bra and panties, that was just done freehand with a wine multiliner. It looked too plain otherwise.

As to why Max would sneak a peek at Ruby and take a picture... Max and Ruby do eventually become interested in one another. And, we all know that Max tends to do stupid things that are not good for his physical well-being.
