For Viollet's challenge, "HIME."
I decided that I wanted to put more details in my drawings, and so I drew this! Her anatomy is kind of off, since I didn't exactly make a planning sketch at first haha... But I love her dress~~ *o* Simple background and surroundings too, and the flower took forever~~ D: The bricks took forever too... T3T
Reference: "Oriental Floral Designs and Motifs: for Artists, Needleworkers, and Craftspeople" by Ming-ju Sun. It's a book I bought for 50 cents at a thrift store cuz I love the floral designs in it. ^_^ I drew the complicated flower from the book, and it also had a bird that I referenced the feathers for the dress.
ENJOY, Viollet-san and all others!
