The first one I drew for Debbie-chan’s contest~<3





I probably outdid myself with this. I rarely do artworks with pencil alone, since I’m very, very messy when it comes with pencils. ;n; Which is kinda why I bought a Tutorial Book on Lead Penciling which helped. I applied some of the techniques given there on this artwork. The background too, is from that book. I was listening to swoony, love songs my mom was playing on the stereo, which helped me get in the mood. :) Seriously, I am so proud of this one! I was going to color it digitally but I decided not to. ^^

I wanted to give this a somewhat wintery feel (I think it would snow already during Ishida-kun’s B-day) hence the dead-looking trees and, snowy ground *hopes it looks that way* It’s actually a park where the two are. And oh, the scanner hates me. ;n;

Here’s a little backstory. Orihime was busy going around town looking for 'the perfect gift' for Uryu. He noticed what she was doing (except for the reason why) and by late afternoon, Orihime asked Uryu to go meet her in the park. Orihime gave him the gift and told him all the effort she did just to 'make him happy for once on his birthday' since she seems to notice that he wasn't really been happy during his past birthdays. She gave him a hug too. Uryu was indeed happy and thanked Orihime for being so thoughtful. He appreciates the gift but appreciates her show of affection more. <3 *points drawing*

AND I'm feeling hungry. ;_; I had a VERY hard time getting this through because my internet is slow this morning. ._.

Kyoooot. The likenesses are pretty well-captured, and I'm also fond of the skeletal trees in the background. :)

I love pencil drawings. That is so sweet ^_^ <333. Their expressions are lovely. Such love in such a desolate setting, but I dig the bare trees :)

This one's good. really good!
You should make a tutorial one day and show us what techniques you learned...whenever I try some pencil art it gets really messy...

I love their faces and hair and the trees and Orihime's skirt...

It's funny. I was looking at the picture without having checked to see who did it. I thought, "Gosh this looks like something Alexa would draw." Lo and behold it was you! This is such an amazing drawing. You were successful as usual with the characters, but the background you put them in is very skillfully done as well. What a very pleasant surprise! <3

I seriously need lessons from you on how to make them look more Kubo-style when I draw them *stares in awe*

This is truly lovely. I think I would have added a slight blush on his cheeks, but I love his expression already.

I LOVE PENCIL WORK! Orihime looks so sweet. I like the juxtaposition of the desolate background (nice job) and the warm couple. Thank you so much for this.

Wow! you really outdit it yourself in this one dear :**** So far is my favorite one of all your works *_* And it looks really awesome they way it is.

Beautiful I can stare at this for a long long time~

Favorite things about it: their expressions, Orihime looks just gorgeous and cute at the same time, and Ishida is so, so CUTE *_* I liked also the patterns in their clothes, how natural they look in their interaction. And the fact that I can feel the feeling *.* Beautiful!

And the technique is pure WIN!
