...or 'Utsukushii Onna Desu'- and you'll have to look up that definition yourself ;)

This is a style I haven't done in a long while- sketch pencil shading! My uni friend, Leanne, requested an illustration of her Japanese friend Nami from a photo reference. Looks rather like a geisha at rest, particularly with the hair done up in that way (and with rollers no less). Being a kind soul, or at least having one on loan, I drew it up, showed it to her live as well as through email. She was pleased, Nami was pleased I've been told, and she said it was okay to put up on DA, so here it is! Hope you like it :D

Materials Used: 5H-8B Sketching Pencils, photo reference.
Time Taken: An hour and 40 mins approx.

Thanks :D it does look rather serene, with perhaps a slight melancholy, though the bright lighting in the original image, and the light shading here, makes it look more relaxed than depressed. You also get a :hug: for :+fav:ing it :)
