ALEXANDRITE

☼This piece was sold as a print at Yushi-Con. I have 2 more left so if anyone is interested hmu.
You can also buy this piece as other prints and products at my shop here! ==> http://www.redbubble.com/people/perana/works/17359079-alexandrite☼
I quickly drew up Alexandrite here the night before Yushi-Con. It was difficult to position her the way I wanted; hence, her arms are kinda all over the place.
Done with Shin Han Touch markers and prismacolor markers on bristol board.

Heya! Sorry for the late response but thank you for your comment! <3
TBH it was such a long time ago that I got those markers (like actual years lol) so I don't remember how much I paid exactly? I want to say it cost over $85-$90 for around 100 colored markers?
I guess to keep it short: they are definitely pricey, but if you can shop around and get bigger bundles to get a better value per marker, they are very much worth the price, in my opinion. Hope that helps!
Overall it's got a good feel to it, but I do have a few things to say.
It looks as if you ran out of room at the bottom and scrunched up the body so it would fit, the pelvis is way lower than that. The arms should be coming out of her side, not her back. Don't sacrifice accuracy for convenience. And lastly the hands look a bit wobbly, I recommend practicing those more.

Thank you so much!
Ahh definitely. It was somehow just annoying trying to fit her onto the page. But yeah, this is surely a sloppy piece and I knew it was gonna turn out like this as I worked on it. ;_;
But overall lessons learned: 1. Don't rush a piece the night before anything so I can create better quality stuff and 2. Hands shall be the bane of my existence; therefore I'm going to start doing hand exercises to get those little appendage fuckers right.
Again, thank you so much for the critique luckylime and for aiding me to better myself as an artist~!
