zodiac project

[dzioo]

me and a few of my friends decided to make a series of drawings with zodiac signs, both European and Chinese. each of us got one sign of each constelations. I got MY fav gemini sign and Chinese snake XDDDD and so a picture is born^^



sorry, the pic is huge^^; I'm really happy with the lineart so far, hopefully I don't ruin it with further colouring^^;

some explanations. after reading some articles on Gemini posten on Wiki, I found out that usually, Gemini are associated with pearls and Lillies of the valley. they happen to be my favourite flowers, now I know why XDDD. and also, they share day and night between themselves. so, that should explain everything^^ also, the frame is based on cofie's pattern^^ hopefully you don't mind sis^^

and I have a question for you. actually, I'm asking for advice^^; how do you think I should colour this? plain and "flat" colours with minimum shading or complex and soft shading? this also involves the medium, either pencils or computer. to be honest, I'm not sure. I don't have time for experimenting and making 2 versions, that's why I'm asking==; I've been doing alot of pictures on computer lately, so pencils are favoured^^. however, I'm affraid I'll ruin it ;_; help please? thank you in advance^^

Not fashion, no, but I used to do costumes for musicals. That's probably it. Wow, you just made me realise why I'm obsessed with clothing in movies and paintings. It's strange I never realised that before. o_0

I'm sure it'll come out beautifully. I'm really looking forward to seeing it finished. :)
