A gaia character commission for Tiva boon. I actually really like the way it looks over all, but my coloured pencil work in this one (especially the skin) could have been better. She's supposed a rather serious looking individual, pretty but powerful, and not to be messed with at all.

The coloring is wonderful. Perhaps the texture on the skin should have been different from the dress, but the texturing on it makes it have a lot of depth and makes it look like *material* and not just *color* on the page. Very nice work. I love the inks for this one too - I hope they're still up.
I can't really help what the texture is, because it's all coloured pencil on one surface, but I'm glad you like it. ^^ unfortunately I think it's mostly because of my scanner, which... is being kind of funny lately. but I did the best I could without making it look pixilated
I don't know what kind of paper you've colored on - but you might try putting a stiff board, like a plastic board that the Japanese school kids use, under the paper to see if it changes the texture of the colors. If it's got a soft surface underneath it, it's likely to sink down, be soft, but if it has a harder texture, it might cover more firmly and solidly. You can get a pencil board almost anywhere if you've got an asian market near you. If not, laminate a piece of index board.
But I think the texture on this piece is still really nice!
That's a pretty good idea actually. I jus put it on top of my sketchbook or a magazine to colour it. well, this one looks ok, but I'll try something different next time I colour some human stuffs. ^^ they sell pencil boards at any art store too, so I may pick one up if I can come across some extra cash someday soon.
