Cartoon Printemps

No. I have neither had a brain anyurism or joined the Dark Side.

I spent about an hour today, sitting on the Random Deviant button, and saw a lot of manga. Some of which was good, some of which was...um, not so good? Anyway, I wondered just how difficult the style is once you've had a certain amount of realistic study, and decided to exparament.

It's a manga-tized version of Muchas Printemps (translated in my book as "Spring"). It was a simple pose to copy, and the actual drawing process was rather fun. If...short. My other reasoning for doing a cartoony picture is that I'm planning on offering comissions, eventually, and I wanted to see how long the other "stages" would take. Started it this afternoon at four, finished it at about nine...so not that long. Five hours.

Again, I eyeballed Mucha's Printemps. You can google it if you want to see the original. I probably won't ever do another Manga pic, so enjoy it while it lasts...or thank God for it, either way...
