Your line work is very nice! I like the colors on the first head too, although the shape of the back of the head looks off in the version further down.

**vices** · February 5th, 2011, 11:40 AM

I love the delicate touch of your pencil sketches, but i'd suggest pushing the values on them a tad more, it'll help make your figures and faces pop. I like that you're experimenting with a wide range of mediums, and styles as well, looking forward to seeing more!!

**tronrobot** · February 19th, 2011, 09:21 AM

lovely!!

**Embia** · February 26th, 2011, 08:15 AM

Here two new designs I did today and yesterday, I'm trying to get a more "cartoony" style

. I Hope you like them.

Awesome!! I think you know what you're doing: your sketches are very clean and refined, but still expressive! Good! Pomegranate is eatable? I'd like too..

**Embia** · March 7th, 2011, 03:15 PM

Ivan_Kolor: Thank you for your comment! But I wouldn't eat the pomegranate its already about 1 year old

Here is a new sketch from today, I colored it in a vector graphics program:

Marvelous characters! Quality stuff for sure

**Ellyon** · March 7th, 2011, 09:10 PM

I adore your characters. I really want to see more colored work, interesting combos! Work well together though.

**Embia** · March 8th, 2011, 06:50 AM

Venishi: Thanks a lot! It's really great to see that someone likes what I'm doing

Ellyon: Thank you! I'll post more colored sketches

**lovidovi** · March 8th, 2011, 07:48 AM

I love how you draw your sketches, specially the last picture you posted

**Embia** · May 16th, 2011, 07:25 AM

Thank you Lovidovi!

Hi there,
Here are some new colored sketches after a longer break. I've been too busy with working for a new graphics tool.

Here are 2 new sketches, both colored in Picroma Plasma. I will try to update daily from now on

Hi!

The vectory finish and the recognizable, signature expressions on the girls' faces
are a breath of fresh air, as is the choice of palette. Focus so far is pretty much
fully on faces, so it would be lovely to see other stuff too - with the same personal
style applied!

Best wishes,

Ana

**Embia** · May 17th, 2011, 03:53 PM

Thank you Ana

, I will try to post more different things from now on!

Here are two pieces from today!
I colored them in Picroma Plasma.
