Kaoru Kamiya

Fanart sketch done in 2001, From Rurouni Kenshin. It’s kinda old but I find it looks cute so, I color it. This time, no speed painting. Just take my time to color... Really enjoy doing this piece. You might notice there are mistakes in the sketch, especially her right eye. but I’ll just leave it untouched since it’s an old sketch..

I wrote her name with ougishi software which I found last year. It’s fun since I don’t really do calligraphy thingy.

**Somehow, I find it easier to draw without guidelines but proportions always ends up looking funny … I only learnt to begin to draw guidelines in mids 2005.. But it looks rather stiff.. lol **



This is what I did and use..

Sketch with pencil > scan > color in ps…

Mechanical pencil 0.5 HB
A6/7? Sketch book
Ougishi: for calligraphy

Time taken: 5-6 hours?
Reference: Nobuhiro Watsuki’s manga.



Character belongs to Nobuhiro Watsuki.
