Kanea in her mid twenties was quite hard getting her to look right! I need to practice drawing clothing alot. I like the sketchy feel of the clothing since it's not what matters for this. How ever I need to learn Razz

Kinda weird she looks like she's looking forward in the picture I draw but the photograph looks like she's looking down. I need to scan these things in tomorrow so they look better Razz

Did you use references for this? Because if you didn't, it's good and looks like Kanae. But it doesn't seem like she's in her twenties. I'm not sure what it is but there's something missing to make her look older and more mature.

Ya I feel I did better but I feel your right. I guess Ill attempt drawing her face some more. I feel if I get the face the body will be simple since it's not stylized.

The references were first. The sketch I did of her realistically and this picture. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l174/rocketmangrf/vlcsnap-408013.png

It looked more like risu the first time, but I liked the eye's. The eye's never changed.

I saw this image of her http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l174/rocketmangrf/vlcsnap-46342.png and it helped correct the facial features.

And http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l174/rocketmangrf/Ryoko_by_ylf13.jpg For the shirt that I did not put much time into XD

I'm not sure. I will completely redraw this tomorrow and hope I stumble on some magic.

YOu can see a little where the sections were stitched together but it looks good. That must've been a pretty big picture.

Oh I know, do they bother you? They were so small it did not really bother me, but sometime ill scan it in better. Working on a painting in photoshop right now. It's funny how much it has actually changed today, but it's still the same concept. "Dreaming"

Not a bother at all ... you can just barely see the conection points. Looks good.
