A WIP. C:

 

[Lita Rutherford]

Oooo so pretty ^^  

[Darkmoon Dancer]

She will have henna all around her once I finish coloring and shading her. Not sure if I want to put something into the background behind the henna or not.

Ideas as to what I could put back there?
EDIT: Or input as to whether I should put anything behind the henna at all or just leave it white/transparent?  

[vballlvr5]

should i color my art or just leave it sketchy  

[xo maho]

Pretty art so far, everyone heart Good luck!

@DD - Henna looks really pretty on Numbers 18 & 19 if the henna is something close to this color. I think a simple skin tone background would work.  

[Darkmoon Dancer]

Oooh, very nice, yes. I like that combo. Thank you, Mahogany! That will definitely go into consideration when I get around to doing the background.

The other big option I'm considering is just doing straight black henna on a white background, because Habibi's henna is jet black, so it would match. But I will try out both and see which I like better.

More WIPs shortly guys!

I love & hate henna, mostly because it's such a pig to draw but it is so pretty ^_^

Any more thoughts/input on the recent sketch I posted anyone? ^_^
I need to search out some flower refs, I might give Xochi a floral border..  

[Darkmoon Dancer]

I know what you mean Sayuri XD
It takes SOOOO long to draw O_O

And I think your sketch was lovely, nothing I can see that really needs tweaking or anything. Looks great!  

[xo maho]

@Sayuri - I think the skirt-thing is cute ^_^ It works. If you can find any good refs, I think an orchid would look really nice up in the top right-hand corner with some ferns or whatever extending from it down and across the top (like the way these are set)... Tropical theme, kinda.  

[Sayuri_Nitta]

Thanks ^_^
I found a native flower, so I'll see how patient I am and try and draw a border lol

I did a rose one once for a commission and I got sooo fed up of drawing petals whee  

[Sayuri_Nitta]

Yeah, I think it will have to be a corner thing, her wings fill one side of the paper blaugh  

[vballlvr5]
