Drawings: Riida & Nino~

[rikke_leonhart]

Okay, so today I kinda took revenge for not getting ANYTHING done the past two days, meaning I finished not one, but TWO drawings :D

Let's not talk about how I haven't drawn a single line on those pencil drawings of Neeners and Sho. Sorry, AG, it doesn't look as if you're going to be finished anytime soon D: ...perhaps before Christmas?

These two drawings are meant as sort of companion pieces to Stars.

And I can clearly tell that I haven't drawn anything in a month, my hand was so unsteady T__T
But I'm really satisfied anyway :D

Pen and marker, you know the drill.

 

25-30 minutes
Pen and marker

Clearly, I'm getting rusty... 30 minutes? Come on T___T
And I spent the most time on writing his name, since it's the first time ever I've tried writing it down in kanji XD
Why does this man have so expressive eyes?

 

* 

30-35 minutes
Pen and marker.

This too, the name took the longest, along with the #"¤%&/# hair over his eye ><;;;;
I love that little smirk of his. So hard to draw, but it wouldn't be him without it, now would it?
..this is is actually my first ever finished drawing of Nino O.O

Reference photo: HERE.


And the finished piece for Stars can be seen: HERE.

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

Ah, I just meant I was getting rusty in terms of time. I usually don't spend more than 20 minutes on marker pieces^^;;

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked them :D

[sutewi.livejournal.com]

wow O-o
I'm currently drawing a picture of nino xD''
but not like yours X-x
I really love your pictures,
I never tried to draw with markers ._.

really good work <3 ^-^

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? Are you going to post it when it's finished? :D I'd love to see it!!

Thank you very much, I'm very pleased that you like my drawings.
You've never tried markers? It's my favourite medium, actually. Pencil has its charms, but pen and marker are truly something special. It's so very decisive when you've drawn something, you know?
I like that feeling of needing to get things right in the first try.

Thank you :)

[elleipsis.livejournal.com]

These are amazing! I have always loved pen and marker drawings, emphasising the shadows and such^^
Ahh I love Ohno's eyes, but I bet they are a nightamre to get right. I particularly love the way you have done Nino's hair.
Beautiful ♥ You are really talented^^
Thanks for posting!

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

I'm positively in love with pen and marker drawings, too, I love them so much!

You're right about Ohno's eyes, and especially because I'm always too lazy stubborn to sketch it with pencil first.
I'm happy that you like Nino's hair since I spent so much time on it :D

Thank you so much for your kind words :)

[evolardnek.livejournal.com]

Ah- Ohmiya (^__^) Nice!

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[thesidulus.livejournal.com]

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you :)

[malimono.livejournal.com]

The kanji writing is so perfectly done. :D And i love Ohno's expression.
Amazing. ^^

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

Oh, YES! You like my abuse of kanji XD

Thank you <3

[arashitonews.livejournal.com]

This was absolutely amazing! You are amazing! I love your drawings. Ohno's expression! And Nino's shadow and hair-covered face! ♥ This was amazing.

SUGOII! those pics of O-CHAN and NINO are my favs from that batch of photos..but you did a great job!

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

They're my favourite, too :D

Thank you so much!

[llcdone.livejournal.com]

what do U mean rusty. I think you got it right on, especially like nino's one.

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

Rusty in terms of time :)
I very rarely spend more than 25 minutes on pen and marker drawings. I meant, that I haven't done this in a while, I could tell from my speed (or lack thereof^^)

Thank you so much <3

[trivialaffair.livejournal.com]

XD Hello god.

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

shgdkfsf?

HELLO MORTAL.

[limegummi.livejournal.com]

Great job with the drawings. :)

I like the Ohno one a lot - it's very, hrm...Ohno-ish. Ahahaha. Like, I looked at it and "that's Ohno!" popped into my head. I actually didn't recognize Nino at first. Maybe it would've been different if I was familiar with the reference pic beforehand. I think the hair confused me and made think it was Jun. Well, that's just me being stupid. ^__^;;

[bigfatwitch.livejournal.com]

OMG. My jaw totally hit the floor when i saw these because i recognized which photos they were from and they look really accurate. You're crazy good at this! Thanks for sharing your art with us ^__^

[kanesu.livejournal.com]

Oh hells. I wrote a longish comment but it timed out.
*angry - too tired to be really angry - still not sleepy*

8D In short the previous: I love you, I love the pics, I'm gonna have these too up my wall (no, you have no say in this) and ..um..I love you? Again? Possibly. Always.

[rikke-leonhart.livejournal.com]

Ah, it doesn't matter <3333333333

I'm not even going to say anything about the wall-thing except *grumble*

I love you too, always <3

/Off to Hebrew class!
