Description

11"x12", colored pencil on white paper
~20 hours of work

I sketched this out back at the end of December, but didn't finish it at the time. There won't be any prints of this one because my scanner woefully mangled the subtler shading in the drawing. There is actually a LOT more shading than you can see here, but the scanner so badly yellowed the image that I lost the softer tones entirely. There should be more shading in her face, hair, dress, and on the ground.

The water pattern in the bottom of the kimono is inspired by the woodblock prints of Hiroshige.

I want a kimono that looks like this. *sigh*
