I fnd olny three flaws in this image, but the coloring and lineart are superb. The flaws have nothing to do with quality, but wth accuracy. First of all, in reality a kimono does not have that many folds below the waist but if it's easier for you to draw and color...Second of all, Botan's hair doesn't flow that way and her hair isn't that long. The last flaw is with the title, because Botan is not really a Grim Reaper. The proper term is spirit guide. What she does sort of makes her the equivalent of our Grm Reaper. I uess when Yu Yu Hakusho was being translated, the guys translaiting ut decided to dub her the Grim Reaper to help American viewers understand. And if you haven't noticed, there are there are other spirit guides in Yu Yu Hakusho. Hinageshi olny appears n Bonds of Fire one of the YYH movies. Lena and Ayame appear briefly in the series. I wish people wouldn't concentrate on Botan when there are other unloved spirit gudes out there. and other unloved characters such as Genkai...
wow and all this done in colored pencils...amazing... AHH I NEED TO NEED TO COLOR BETTER!! ARG!! i mean i did mine in colored pencils....and it sucks.... i give you props on your coloring and on how much it looks like botan!
I LOVE HOW YOU DRAW AND COLOR AND YOU DREW BOTAN EXCELLENT!!! THIS IS MORE THAN JUST GOOD!!!!! I WORSHIP YOU A BUNCHES!!!!!!!!!! YET ANOTHER FAVE!!!!!!!!
Cute! ^-^ I love Boton! Wish they'd put out a subtitled version of YuYu Hakasho.
Your coloring is always so nice. Usualy when people color with pencil, it comes out a gritty mess...yours look like you use a lot of color pencil, but you are very skilled in that medium.
I notice that the lower part of ger face looks a bit too narow, though. I also noticed this on Milli. It makes the chin look too long, and the part of the head whear the eyes are a bit too wide in comparison...I'd sujest making the face just a tad wider where the jawline meets the neck than you curently are. Basicaly, don't start tapering the outline of the head much untill you reach the jawline.
I know you hate posts like this, but oh well. Deal. :p
I realy am liking your work a lot, though. Feal free to point out flaws in my work, too... Sometimes it's hard for an artist to notice his or her own mistakes. ^^;
