Art Trade: Okie-Pokie

And now... the first digital drawing of 2016!!! Yay!!!

*AHEM!*

Now... this is my part of an art trade with the sweet who wanted her OCs together. For reference, she gave me this piece here:  Since the reference was chibi, I tried to improvise drawing them with my style that is not chibi. As I was drawing and coloring this, the final song from Disney's Cinderella (Animated) was playing over and over in my head. XD


I have to say that in my opinion, the final look seems decent. Believe it or not, the wing I forgot to draw in my sketchbook, so I had to draw it digitally using my tablet on Gimp. The piece was drawn by both tablet and mouse. I also used the technique to create a shine at the bottom of the eyes that Konnichibot showed me. I'd like to call it the "Crescent Eye Shine" method. Then I added a darker color to the top of the eyes. I also added some shining to the OC's hair which was a first for me. There was also shading used on their clothes, faces, under the chins, etc. And of course topping the piece off with a Gimp Gradient Background. I decided to go with a contrasting pastel type of color gradient background. 

Tools used: Sketchbook, Letter H Pencil, Micron Pens for Outlining, Eraser, Scanner at the local copy center, Gimp where I used the "select by color" tool to copy and paste the outline on a new canvas where I digitally colored and drew the wing using my bamboo Pad (Tablet) & mouse and topping it once again, with a Gimp Gradient Background.

This piece really helped me with new coloring methods and adding more!!!

ANYWAY, I hope you like it dear!!!  ^.^
