Greetings all !! I like never come to this area...or at least maybe only twice since this past July. Perhaps I have been missing some good things, huh?
Ruika's name, and 'drawing' just caught my eye, and so I had to turn here to see what was up. I do draw, and paint, but have never done anything digital at all.
The poses in the two I looked at above, especially the latter one (from Final Fantasy) are very well done. The emotion, tones, framing and lines all work together to capture the essence of what is there, but isn't there (a very Japanese thing) and the highlights just to the left of the face work wonders in that regard too
I like those very, very much !! Nice job !! yatta ze !!
