Oh! And yet, another picture that has come out of my sketch book!

I wish I had a close up of her eyes. I wanted to try something new by making the white shine in her eyes a swirly shape.

I did the background on the computer and drew the origional picture with my good ol' pens! The ones I carry around in my pretty purse all day. Yep. Someday I will get mugged and then my attacker will get mad at me because I have no money. Only pens. Oh yeah..

You are a talented artist! All your art I've seen so far is pretty good, is not darn brilliant!
That background is pretty, what mesmerizing swirliness. Her pose is interesting, like a "I am the valiant bug, heroine to the rescue!" sortof of thing, like she's about to fly off and help her knight in shining armor get back on his horse. Her antennaes are adorable. But I noticed a few things: her head is a bit too big for her body, I think. Also, her legs and feet could be bigger. her right hand looks more feminine, and yet the one clenched into a fist looks a bit...rough. Othan than those though, I see no problems with this pic!
It's...charming.

I like this pose. She seems poised for actions, yet hesitent if she actually wants to join in. Unlike the comment above, I think her clenched hand shows apprehension, not roughness. Love the highlights of her hair.
