Aw! I love her expression in this one--like she's about to say something, and is rather sad or something. Definetly not the expression you normally see her with--she seems to be a vicious, crazy kinda character normally--at least, her smile always apears to be vicious... Again, trimming down the image would be good--cuts out some of the white empty space along the top. Be careful when you ink--don't loose the nice lines you have with the hair! My advice would actually be to try photocoping, or printing out a version of this pic, if you want to color. Your lines are nice, clean and dark enough that you can actually do that--a lot of professionals color images that way. Actually, printing would be better than photocopying--the nice shading you have would have to be eliminated for a colored version (even though it's great in a sketch, you know?) Either way, I recommend doing lineart on another piece of paper. If you can afford it, lightboxes are heaven for that, but the way I used to do it was to make a piece of carbon paper by scribbling intensely on a piece of scrap paper, putting my 'clean' paper underneath, and tracing over my image lines (usually with a cheap ballpoint pen, like a Papermate) on the original--that version was sad, though, because it ruined the sketch. Hmm, well, there are also ways to 'make' a lightbox, but I can't quite remember them right now. Either way, good luck! I think seeing colored versions of your FLCL images would be quite interesting, indeed. (Btw--I've never seen FLCL. o.O)

I was skimming your gallery, just glancing through the thumbnails, and without even seeing the title of this one I went "Haruko-kun!" This is a dead on rendtition of everyone's favorite alien. You've managed to capture her eyes and her hair to near perfection, and I applaud that! She has an expression that mirrors Naota-Kun's in the final episode, right before he kisses her, and its pulling at my heart strings! lovely job, and if you're thinking of adding color, I say go for it! ~Windresss (waiting for a character drawing of Eri-chan and "The Eyebrow" Amarao!)

i love this scene in the show "ur the one i saw first, takkun" its one of haruko's more "innocent" moments...definately a well done drawing. i just love ur style and it really looks exactly like that scene. i love ur work, keep up the awsome FLCL action! XD!!!
