    Thanks for liking the sketch, so I'd finish it! 8D Haha.
    The complimentary colors thing is where you use the opposite of a color to make it darker for shading. (Red shade with green, orange shade with blue, etc...) I didn't do it for the whole picture, but it's something I've been trying to keep in mind. :V

    Huh. Well, Google told me it was the word for around. xD

    Yeah, it's good to experiment around with complimentary colors! :D It'll feel awkward at first, but after a while you get the hang of it. Though for blue, I use black and dark brown for the shadows; orange is a brighter color, and brighter colors tend to look like they're in the foreground. Using it for shadows can look kind of wonky. xD

    Thank you so much!! I've been trying to get a greater value range with my colored pencils, so I'm glad its noticeable. ;u;

    I really love how dark you made some of the shading; solid highlights and lowlights. It's really nice byway of the poses and the anatomy, too!

    It's been awhile since I actually USED my French, so I can't say for certain if it's 100% accurate. I think it works though. Never seen the word "autour" before, though.

    It's good that you explained the creative process. I should try doing shadows in complimentary colors sometime.


    Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
