"Likeshine" by Cecilie Larsen

In truth, the whole thing was one giant experiment. Except for the odd scribble, I’ve actually never done computer colouring before, nor in such a grand scale, so I had to chance my luck and hope for the best when I sat down in front of the screen. Everything, even the initial sketch, was made digitally, which is also a first for me, and then I had a greatly amusing time experimenting with the light, the background, the textures, the pose, just about everything. I realise that Likeshine’s posture might seem a bit stiff, but I didn’t dare add too much motion to my image, considering how little experience I have with drawing such. After all, I have never attended a single art class in my life, and I suppose that I am more or less autodidactic when it comes to drawing.
