Miku art (finally)
For my, erm, eleventh day of Creative Boot Camp, I determined to finish the picture of Hatsune Miku that I drew with my tablet and have been working on with Photoshop for-seemingly-ever. I didn't do any creative things yesterday (I watched lots of Vocaloid videos XD And we went mini-golfing!) so today I'm doing double-duty, which is allowed on the weekends.
This is the first picture that I would consider complete that I ever drew entirely on the tablet - no scanned pencils or anything, just blank-canvas-file-to-finished-picture. With a BACKGROUND. LE GASP. (It's a pretty simple background, but it's more than I usually do!)
I like to draw people sitting on streetlights, for some reason. Holy cow, Miku's costume is complicated. But the little lights and things were one of the funnest parts! She has a TON of hair *laughs* I really got better at using my tablet doing this. Of course, it helped to have![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
astillac explain the brush tablet options to me XD
I LOVE CLOUDS. They're so much fun to paint! I had to scrap a bunch before I found a method I actually thought looked good, though. Her boots were probably the hardest and the most rewarding part once I figured out how I wanted to shade them. I kept forgetting the little green accents on her clothes and had to go back and put them in. Vocaloid mascots are fun to draw because they have a general design with a handful of characteristics that really stand out, so you can draw them pretty much in whatever style you want and as long as you keep those characteristics, they're recognizable. Anime is often great like that too XD

I'm very impressed with this. It looks very professional.

I don't know what her arm-thingies are called either! *laughs* But doing the little lights was wicked fun. I'm really really glad you like it! The bird was totally random; I didn't base it on any real bird, so I'm glad it looks good XD
Once I discovered that people have pink in their skin, I became a much happier painter :3 The lamppost gave me much grief! As did her boots. Thank you so much, Mama ^_^
