Description

All right....doing an A4 motive with alcohol based markers was the stupidest idea ever.
I had to redraw the whole thing 'cause I messed up the colouration for the face. It's ok now but I couldn't get rid of the streaks..
Maybe it's just not possible with this size.
I also wasted a lot of time and colour on the hair because I wasn't quite sure how it should look in the end. Grump 

To be honest, I like coloured pencils a lot more. They're forgiving and you don't have to ponder for ten minutes before you're sure what to do next. With the markers, I was kinda afraid, I'd ruin it some way or another. The colours are beautiful and intensive but one should really stick to small formats/areas with them.

Looking for inspiration, I stumbled over a website with stockphotos and instantly took a liking to  this one. So I adopted it for this picture.

All that aside, I like it very much.
This year's our 10th anniversary and I wanted to celebrate it with a drawing or two! All the best, my darling. :heart:
By the way, this was Seth's earliest design from 2005, inspired by the character Azura from You Higuri's manga "Gorgeous Carat - Virtue of Darkness" (no kidding!).

Critique and tips are welcome!
