Skullie

What started out as a sketch on my planner turned out into an ink and color pencil endeavor that ate my entire day.

This was Skullie around 7pm yesterday. She’s one of seven art trades I’ll be working on this year. I remember praying before I actually started coloring her with color pencils because it’s been a while since I last colored using any traditional media.

I seem to have fallen in love with coloring all over again.

Sad thing is, the scanner doesn’t pick up colors as well as it should. I adjusted the scan using Sugar‘s tutorial, but I still think the original is much better.

Strangely, the scanned image looks… *squished*? It’s probably my monitor or something, but please tell me what you think when you view the original illustration.
