Sketchbook Sunday #15 – Monochrome depth

So, I’ve got about fifteen minutes left of this sunday to write and post this. I want to go to sleep really bad, but I’ve been working on this little tidbit for the sole reason of having something to show here today. I want to keep up the rhythm of always having at least something to post on a Sunday, despite not really having sketched or drawn much this week…

Not much to say about this small portrait really… I used Sakura Micron pens to make the original lineart, having first sketched the girl on a sheet of marker paper. I decided to practice how to make the lineart a different color, and also to try and give the character some shading to indicate depth. I tried to stick with a monochrome color scheme, and went for a shade of turquoise to suit her… slightly confused style… Is it just me, or is it hard to imagine a punk-rock girl dressing up in a top with a ribbon and a bow? Also, that thing on her nose is supposed to be a piercing… I looked at it just now and thought “Huh, that kinda looks like a wart”.
