This image(2nd of three) is for the Beauty Contest that was on the front page newspost a little while ago.
I'm switching to working on this one, because the Contest is calling for this one [formal attire] first. I'll go back to the swimsuit next week.
The colors ar working out okay, I guess.
I'll add in the foot when I can figure out how to draw it.

Aisu: Thanks for continuing to give such helpful comments! ^_^
Ah, yes, it does feel like that in the inks…I didn't want to mess up the ink by attempting to do the gradient, even though it looked fine in the pencils. Maybe I shouldn't have erased it after I inked. Although the visual draw in the base colors is subdued as compared to the ink, it IS still rather distracting…but I don't want to change it at this point in the game. D:
Sad? I meant for more of a neutral expression, as she isn't the type for formal occasions. Rather get physical *groans at connotations* or be utterly casual. I guess I'll have to mess around with the eyes and mouth a little, so as to get the right emotion. It's bothersome how just a subtle line [generally in the face, but it could be elsewhere] can make such a huge difference on the spirit of an image.

[There was something else I wanted to say, but in that monstrous reply to Aisu, I forgot…hm. I hope I remember when I'm not in a lazy mood.]
