Although this piece is relatively simple and the hand looks a bit wonky, I did push myself to add rim lighting, a background, and draw at a slight angle. This is my first entry into any contest. It's a drawing of Catwoman from DC holding an emerald. The background is intended to clash with the smoothness of the character. This piece is completely traditional. The background consists of cheap water color and some colored pencils while Catwoman is drawn with copic liners and copic markers. Constructive criticism is appreciated as I'm still quite a beginner and hope to improve.
