Heh, this picture, the "afterthought". I never really even planned on doing this one since I'm busy right now with a major project painting (it'll be a surprise!) and my first big Derwent work, but somehow this got snuck in there.
I probably did this reproduction to test out the new mediums/tools used: India Ink, Caligraphy pen and Gouache. This was mainly done in watercolour pencil. Obviously, this isn't one of my greater works since I didn't spend too much time on it, but I just loved the pose of Mumo when I saw that picture ^^.
Dedicated to Molly-chan of course, who got me into the whole Peach Girl wave ^^ Is Mumo the girl's name btw? I totally guessed if it were that or Momo.. LOL.. anyway, enjoy! Thanks for viewing :-)
Peace. Love. Anime.

This is a really cool picture. You have got Momo's eyes DOWN! (It is Momo, btw, Momo is Japanese for 'peach.') I like that it has her out in the sun, it's like showing that she's not afraid to be herself even if she does tan too easily! I personally like her tan, I think it makes her look cute. Anyway, great pic!
