Christmas 2016

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to minna~!!!

I thought I wasn't able to finish this drawing in time for christmas.    Lucky it was complete in time. (computer was down for quite sometime.. so drawing was delay..  using my brother's laptop first..)

Have hard time choosing the colour concept for this drawing.    

I didn't realise colour problem while sketching, I decide to go with red for the roses but forgotten so were the holly berries... it's gonna be red too. It's too near to each other, overwhelming patch of red all around her head.. Probably not able to draw attention to the character. Tried adding  leaves to break down the overwhelm red on her head.

Thought of posting the green background version.. but it doesn't feel right in someway. Don't know how to describe..

 Yep... This is the original colour I end up going with.   Perhaps too much red again... What am I thing... But I really love the colour.

Of course, there are 4 other different background colours I made.  (messing around with filters. I just have to XD )

3 over at my artblog here.  ziseyueliang-sketches.blogspot…

And another version here in DA. >> ziseyueliang.deviantart.com/ar…

Lots of photos references from pinterest and花瓣网

I guess it kind of like a habit, wanted to post a Christmas drawing on DA every year. (also because I hardly post much these several years..  I always felt bad not able to post more nice drawing and got  less active in DA these several years.) (major art block is one problem too.)

That's why it every year, during this day it's important for me... This is a sincere thank you gift for my dear friends and everyone here who still likes or comment on my drawings. 

Thank you so much.
