.. and it's not anywhere NEAR done!

I get so frustrated with my artwork because I color at a ridiculously SLOW pace!!! GRRRRR!!! And it's not even as amazing as half the stuff I see on here on a daily basis! *grumble*

Anyhoo this is the progress I've made on the cover for the book I've written. I know there's no background yet, I haven't figured out what I'm gonna put there. >> Many thanks to Aeri for her crits leading up to this point. I'm working on the 3rd draft of my book now and let me warn you. Do NOT make the mistake I made and start illustrations after the rough draft!! I have to go back and either:

a) Find a way to fix the two illos I was working on (one was "finished")
b) Start over. Frickin' fracking FUCK!!

So the book I wrote (I'm expecting the copyright back fairly soon I hope, I sent to the Library of Congress for copyrighting back in May '08) is a romantic comedy and that's all I'm gonna say for now (I'm super paranoid). Giga Girl is a main character in the book, only in it her name is "G.G.". ^^;; And no, that's not her on the cover, that's her friend Kae who is the main heroine.

The good thing is that you'll get faster with practice. Trust me! =D

Is that like his shirt collar or something? Cause if it is, I demand a coat like that! <3 <3

I can't wait to see it finished! It's looking really good so far!

It's the lapel on his trench coat. I've been doing this for years and sadly I don't think I've gotten any faster coloring. I sketch quickly, color... takes forever. >>

I suppose it depends on how carefully and controlled you color, too. (I sort of attack the picture in a kind of artistic rage, LOL!)

Oooh I like this one too. What's the book called? You should sell me a copy. :3
