    Mid-Autumn Kimono
    [​IMG]
    Size: 1024x1280 pixels
    Since the theme was a party and not a birthday party, I decided to make something else.

    It soon Mid-Autumn Festival, a festival is just bigger version of a party right? Hmm.. but I want to draw kimono too, let's just make festival in the kimono!

    That's was how I got my idea at that time, if you are wondering what is written on the left side lantern numer 2, the poem is in the link under here. It's named Thoughts in the Silent Night

    Evening Party
    [​IMG]
    Originally I was going to leave everyone faceless to give it the feeling of it could be anyone there in the picture. Instead I gave most of then some outline to indicate the faces and added a face to the one person in the party who is the center of it.

    Now that you mention it... but the art in that novel is much much much better than this lol The whole thing wasn't intentional though. I had planned for the face to be a bit different, but I couldn't draw it or it would take up too much time as late as I was already. I do love the silver and blue combination, so that was set from the beginning. If I had more time I could probably polish the whole thing more.

    Love your kimono btw, the colouring is just sooo nice. I really want to know how to colour things like that. Very vibrant and a nice twist on the theme.

    I wonder how the finish touch will be like~
    I even thought it may be a fanart~

    and I'm glad to know you like the kimono too~
    As for how I color my drawing, well~ I mainly try to find a main color I like, and then add a darker and lighter shade to almost everything I will color. Just like the night sky from my art, it's have at least 3 colors parted up in their own space, then I blur the different shades to give it some depth. If I don't get it right, I could start over or use some color editor. (y)

    just remember I'm not student of art or anything like that, so it may or may not help you anyway~
    ps. I use countless layers too~

    I'm not an art student either lol, but my sense of colouring isn't too good which is why I tend to randomly ask for advice. But thanks, this helps me. I've been wanting to colour with rich colours but I always tend to colour things too lightly as you can see. :blobsmilehappyeyes: (Also hurray for blobs!!!)
