Riviera traces, Traced with pencil Options

[DavidSchinkel]

I've made traces that are based off of those telephone card artworks that are shown in the Dept. Heaven World Guidance book. I've traced them for fun. Credit goes to Sunaho Tobe for the artwork. What do you think?

What do you think of their swimsuits?

[Rhiannon]

I really like your pencilwork. The shading is really nice and you used it to neat effect whenever water was involved. Ladie's face didn't turn out quite as well as everything else, though. She's blushing in the original art, right? I think to get that to work right you'd have to trace very lightly over the blushing spots to use as a guide (to later erase), and then use that fabulous pencilwork of yours to make her look like she's blushing without the help of pink/red colors. Or you could just use those lines that are used in anime-style art to indicate blushing.

And before you ask "What do you think of their swimsuits?" I must ask you if they are the original swimsuit patterns! Cierra's doesn't look like what I remember, but I feel like Serene's does and I don't remember what Ladie's was like. Maybe I should stop being lazy and check since I have the book.

Well, if they ARE your swimsuit pattern designs, I like the simplicity of Serene's and I like Ladie's, too, although it makes me think of fall... I really do hope Ladie is not swimming in the fall. Although, maybe I should not be giving her that advice since I have actually swam in a lake in the fall, and probably more than once.

Those swimsuits come from my head. I gave Serene a sports bikini because it fits her.
