Shikshin's Art

[Shikshin]

Hello ^^
So, I don't know how big these pictures will turn out, but I hope you can see them OK. I did a pencil drawing of her, then blew it up and used carbon paper to trace it onto a canvas where I started to paint using acrylic paint. The canvas isn't finished, but I hope to find the time to soon. I may have to start the canvas again, or paint over it because the last time I painted on it was around a year ago, so I know the old layers of paint won't blend at all >.<
Anyway, what do you think? I have some other quick chibi drawings lying around somewhere that I randomly do when I'm bored in class so I may take pictures and post them here too ^^
Constructive criticism welcome.

それはすばらしい美術品です。That's a very well done work of art! I wish I could paint. I have always done realistic portraits of people and I have been practicing drawing cartoons and in anime style, but I don't think I have made much progress. You are definitely way better than me; I still need a lot of practice with anime style work.

Here's my thread if you are interested. Just ignore my amateur anime drawings though, haha.

Hi! that is really nice! I wonder what type of medium you used when you draw this. I just think that this is very nice and the detail was well shown on the canvas. I am very excited to see your other pictures so keep us posted if you still have more photos to upload. but one thing I noticed it has a different position that the original picture. is there any reason behind that?

Thankyou For the pencil drawings, I used a couple of different grade pencils, I've forgotten which now. Probably a HB, 6B and a 4 or 5H as they are what I use the most, unless I have to do a significant amount of shading where I would use a lot more. The different position is probably from when I took photo's of the pictures as I couldn't scan them, I took the one of the canvas at a bit of an angle, so I'm guessing that's why.

I really love the detail in the pencil one
