Artist's Comments

i haven't drawn kabuki in ages and i gave her a new set and style of clothing. different set of colors too. cropped blazer+hoodie and a tunic length long t-shirt with golden koi fish. the shirt and belt sitting at her hips make her torso look kinda long. (i also screwed up on her choker. oops!)

compositioned it in a similar way to "pretty in pink - sugar" image.

materials: 11x14in bristol, markers, color pencils, and microns

It's hard to believe that golden koi - kabuki by *buki is traditional media, it looks so smooth and is well-blended. The shadows on the jacket and the details such as the jeweled belt and the koi on her shirt are just a few of the elements that make this such an amazing piece.

I like the patterning on the shirt, and the pose has a lot of personality. Neato!

She's so beautiful!! You're marvelous with those colors! So do you color with markers (Trias?) first and then shade over it with pencil to make it pop out?

Ooh, I love her shirt! I wish it were real! I'm glad to see Kabuki again and she's looking fantastic. The coloring is outstanding and I love her pose! And of course, I still adore Pretty In Pink :D

yup (i also use prismas and copics). i lay on the markers first because marker ink won't sink into the paper properly if there's a layer of color pencil on top. if i don't have a darker shade or if the shade is way too dark i then use color pencils. :)

But no place can it blossom more,
In some, but not in all cases,
Than in the eyes of a broken before. ~ Rebecca Eccles
