Maana

This ATC was for the advent calendar, so, I drew this some time ago, but I'm posting it now after the fact. Maana is a character from a story/project of the person my calendar was for. :) A lot of fun, especially because it's not the kind of thing I typically draw at all! (As in, she's clearly not a plant... LOL) Leaving my comfort zone at least occasionally is a good idea, I know! XD

Another page in the sketchbook! This time, more contrasts in saturation than in hue or brightness... For the fun of it.



Materials:
- suuuper awesome sketchbook from antaresnox; a "boring" white page today (hey, I have to use them at some point, right?)
- ballpoint pen (a normal one that writes in blue)
- Derwent Inktense pencil in Deep Indigo (this is, essentially, almost a watercolor pencil except that after drying the color becomes waterproof so you can add more layers over it - very useful)
- Acrylic pens: Amsterdam Acrylic Marker in Ultramarine and Yellowish Green; FlySea Acrylic Painter in white
- waterbrush
