Oh, more pictures!

I really like the third one - looks like a photo, the kind of picture someone places on his desk so he can always look at it. The two look so happy.

Nice work!

I think I prefer the sketch version of Ataru, though...it seems to lose some of its dynamic quality in the lineart version.

And I agree with Cyalis on the Padawan sketch...it definitely appears to be a happy moment!

Third one is my favourite, too--like Cylis said, it's like a nice snapshot and really has that "moment" feeling to it. It's really natural and relaxed, like someone just came by and snapped a photo of them.

I think varying line weights in the inked pieces would help with giving back the dynamic feel, although sketches are usually looser and more full of movement just by nature (goodness knows I've killed a lot of sketches by inking them...). Ya gonna colour 'em? Very Happy

I'll color the sketches, but not the lineart. If I try digital coloring, I am sure I'll ruin it. I so suck at digital coloring.

I like to print out the scans of the sketches and then color them, this way I still have all the shading from the pencil but it doesn't smear.

Now I just have to figure out which of the boxes from the move my Prismas are in... Rolling Eyes
