Okay, so I wanted to do a little drawing for my boyfriend for VD.

He really likes Yoshitaka Amano, so that's the style I'm emulating. The picture itself is loosely based on his avatar.

It's kind of small but... I don't want to do a fullbody. :/

Anything I should fix up? I like the face and hair how it is, but I always have trouble with the angles of torsos.

So, any draw-overs or critiques would be appreciated.

Also! What medium should I finish it in? Watercolour? Or ink?

my vote always goes for watercolor D:

as far as torso problems, there's really not that much torso to see. the collarbone is pretty though.

Man, that's gonna be a hard style to successfully emulate.

That's all I have to say.

Well, I gave it a shot.

It turns out the paper I drew it on is complete s**t so when I tried to add some watercolour.. well it didn't work well.

Then I tried inking it with India ink, and that didn't work either.

So I ended up using a ball-point pen. D:

Here it is. I don't think it turned out too awful, except for a few spots where some ink leaked.

If you want to emulate amano you should add some pink and yellow in there somewhere. Dude seems to like pink and yellow dots.
