Indulging my love of cute. :3

Today I tried to draw a model wearing a tiger eye necklace for a jewelry ad. I don't think I quite got the ambiance - her pose is too stiff, for one thing - but I'm happy I was able to draw it quickly and that her knit shirt turned out so well. ^u^ My hand was feeling better, so I was able to take the picture a bit further and completed the flats. I'm looking forward to shading it at some point.

For the Gemstone Streak challenge.

Looks like this mermaid found an aquamarine somewhere!

A digital study of a diamond.

Took a breather today by doing a study of a diamond instead of a full picture. It took a few tries but I finally found a style I liked, so I'm happy with it now.
