This is a sketch I did of Kagome from Inuyasha. It's my very first attempt at seriously sitting down and drawing by hand. It took me about 5-10 minutes to do the sketch. The coloring took a bit longer. This is meant to be nothing more than a pure sketch. In other words, it's not meant to be anything fancy. The coloring is just basic stuff. The drawing itself has lots and lots of things I would fix or change if I had more artistic talent, but I'm just learning, so please be kind in any comments you leave. Overtime, as I learn and improve, I'll probably come back and make all the changes I want to make, but for now, I'm having fun.

By the way, if you are curious as to just a few of the many things I would like to change, here are some:

1. Her nose is a little too lumpy and needs to be smoothed.
2. Her jaw line needs softening.
3. Her hair needs more definition.
4. Her hair seems 'big' to me, but I don't know if I really need or should change that.
5. Improve the ear definition (I added the definition via mouse; I forgot to draw it in by hand).
6. More interesting clothing.
7. Add a background.

There are more things, but you get the idea.

P.S. - For anyone who sees this image, should it be considered 'Traditional' or "Digital'? I hand-drew it, but I colored it on the computer.
