Drawingses

I found the stylus for my graphics tablet last night, and threw this together in a few hours. I've been practicing drawing more and more recently, just doing pencil or ballpoint pen sketches in a notebook filled with lined paper whenever I'm waiting for something to happen, and it really feels like I'm making progress - I'm able to put together basic sketches quickly, giving myself something to work on and improve. This isn't my cleanest piece ever, by any means, but for the time spent (four hours, most of that on the coloring and getting used to the GIMP), it's pretty good.

I could talk about what I like and don't like about it, but it really gets up my nose when other people self-critique, so I'll just say that I'm getting better at making the characters be part of their environment, and leave it at that.

There is something mildly disconcerting about the fact that her eye overlaps her hair. Or maybe her hair is only partially overlapping the eye?
