A Drawing! Finally!

You might remember that I postponed Friday Sketch for a few weeks because I was working on something big. Kiersten asked me to do a guest post while she was in Romania, and I decided to do a drawing for her. Of course this drawing had to be spectacular, and I finally get to share it! (click image to zoom)

This is Reth from her upcoming debut book Paranormalcy. Of course you guys know I love this book—how can you not? But I don't love it just because she's my best friend. It's honestly a Good Book. Kiersten has taught me so much about writing. She'd never admit to it, but she's much better than me and I'm privileged to learn and read her stuff.

Sorry, folks, I already claim the title of #1 Fangirl. I have at least three fanart pictures to back me up, and surely more to come. Also, I own this shirt, which she sent to me because she knew I'd hunt her down if she didn't.

So BACK OFF.

    Okay, I couldn't zoom in on Kiersten's blog, but I can on yours and WOW. I love his eyes. And the detail is amazing. Natalie, this is one of your best.

    That shirt is hilarious.

    I LOVE the detailing on the rail posts. It looks amazing in zoom and in the smaller window.

    Did you do this on the tablet or free hand? If you got lines that clean freehand, I may have to smack you.

    Also, you manage to not have it backwards like she did, haha, props.

    And that drawing was well worth the wait. Well done!

    I forgot to mention that my favorite part is actually the texture of the background, the trees are lovely ... but of course that's only because there are so many wonderful aspects to this drawing!

    And I'm jealous. I finally got to read a small excerpt on the Harperteen sight (I think that's where it was.) and I'm more excited than ever for it now!

    I want to know the story behind his eyes. Very nice, as usual. The background is especially cool.

    You look like you've just cast a very naughty spell on someone in the full knowledge that it will be several days before your naughtiness is revealed to them.
