This one is to say thankyou to the deviantart community.
I get such warm responces and wonderful comments when I post my art here, it really makes me smile. I am just a complete amateur who loves to draw in her spare time so being teated like a real artist by some is just amazing for me Thankyou all so much!

Please Full view as a lot of work went into this, honest

Done in Opencanvas and took arround 25 hours so complete. Im pretty happy with the result! Especially as it deviates quite a bit from my usually style. Im not really into very cutsie anime, but I thought id try my hand at it and I like the results! Plus people have been asking if I would do a more traditional style (big eyes little mouth) for a bit and since this is for you guys I thought id have a go I just hope the colours arnt to light for your monitors as I just bought a snazzy new one which shows colours mega bright compared to my old one

Actuly I think the linework was the hardest thing with this; sketching and inking took me over 100 layers, seriously. Then another 60 for colouing ;-; I wanted to try and go for that soft cell look, but ended up deteriorating into my normal colouing style XD OC doesnt have a blur brush only a smudge so I couldnt do it that way.

Oh you a print is now available! Anyone who does buy a print and cares to tell me will have a feature and a thankyou in my journal The text is removed on the print hehe Also soon should have this available as magnets and postcards

Id totally love any feedback you could give me on this one <3 Especially critique Though please dont mention again that the handle is at the wrong angle for the umbrella I noticed to late to fix it and everyone keeps telling me, heh. But feedback would be brilliant, thats what make DA so great Any questions? Feel free to ask, ill do my best to answer!
