It's so cute. I love you're preteen kim/ron pic also. Are you going to coler this one? I don't think so...I started to, but quickly realized that it looks much better just as a sketch. Don't want to ruin it And thanks Would you mind if I try coloring it? Or at least inking? I've really been wanting to get into digital artwork but don't have the artistic talent to do the actual sketch worth a tush...

Oh, not at all! Go ahead I'm actually kind of honoured you would even use my sketch in the first place, and I'll be interested to see what you come up with I did do a half-finished coloured version, but even if I do get around to finishing it (which seems unlikely right now), I won't be posting it for a whiiiiiile. So knock yourself out!

Here's a start... Preliminary black/white inkin' is about half way done thus far, so I just took a quick chunk out of it that doesn't look too horrible. Right now, I'm just trying to match the line thinkness, and once the whole thing is finished roughly, I'll refine/soften the edges and whatnot (KP's chin-line is THICK ). It's been pretty challenging, especially while using The GIMP on a laptop... Critique? Criticism? Go for it. [EDIT] OMG! I'm back to 100 posts!

Whoah, that's looking awesome so far, Will! It's interesting how you're trying to preserve the varying thickness in the lines...how are you managing that with this "Gimp"? Never heard of it. Can't wait for the final version ;D What do you mean by that quote? That it's better uncoloured?

And y'all probably forgot about this... Alright, here's a set of Kim's layers (about 20 or so) as a preview of what is yet to come. I've completely re-inked it, and added some color just to see how it would look. More would be shown, but I'm still working on Kim's hands. Trust me, you don't want to see how they look right now. Seriously... I haven't had much time to work on it lately, but expect the full image to be done over the next month or so. [EDIT] Oop. I think I already noticed a coloring error... Kim's entire left sleeve is red, instead of going to the grey yay far down. Don't ask me why I choose those colors either, I was in a hurry. Something more suitable will be used eventually. Got any comments? Critique? any of that jazz? Shoot it my way.

I've never used GIMP before, so I can't suggest any solutions in a how-to way.
Being able to look at something and study it and learn from it is in teh very core, what it means to be an artist and draw, so by doing just this much is something you should be proud of. I like the grey part of the sleeve. It adds balance to everything since Kim's other colors are already very very red/warm. It makes it look like those popualr two-fer shirts with the long sleeves built in. I like it.
I can't really comment further since I can't see the rest of the pic, but from what you have I say it looks good =D The porportions are nice. And line variation is always good no matter what the style. It helps things stand out, hold boldness and such. Good examples of that is regular American style comics. Check out thier ink =o That's lots of line variation right there! From this studying, this pic you'll pic up a lot more than just the KP style. Keep up the good work!

And the actrual picture, the in the rain one. That is so adorable! =D The two under the umbrella like that. I really wanna color it. <3

I like the softer quality of the pencil lines and the way you illustrated the raindrops hitting the umbrella. From my past experiences, umbrellas can be pretty irritating XD;

It's nice to see you here, I just love your art style. I appreciate it when great fanartists like yourself take time to critique those of us just getting started. So you like the clothing colors? I'll probably keep them then, and the over/under shirt style is what I was aiming for too.

Thanks for all comments for the original sketch! unferthidol: hehe yeah, the umbrella was a pain Glad you liked the rain, though, and yes, I also liked the end-result of the pencil. jao: you can feel free to colour it if you want. Although I'm already flattered that people actually want to colour this! Loving your progress so far, Will Of course we haven't forgotten Haha, it's kind of funny that you picked that colour for her shirt! I based the sketch on her outfit from the opening of Emotion Sickness, and it's exactly that colour ;D As for the sleeve, it's really no big...looks great so far anyway. I ran into the same problem with the sketch, which is why I just thickened the line of her chest to cover it up ;D Progress is going very nicely, I think! Can't wait to see the final product!
