Hi! =D I'm new here *bow* I did this piece today, no photo reference just from nostalgia =P. Started in Open Canvas and once I finished the line-art I went into Corel Painter 11 where I colored it (I've just learned how to blend with this program, I'm still quite a nub) and this is where I spent a few hours coloring, with a break or two... and lastly, touch ups in PS CS4. Critiques welcome. =D I'm happy I found an anime fan art based community /cheer
