Tokyo Mew Mew ~Nya~

Well, it's that time again! The time when Kayla posts some of her art! (Which I know are your favorite posts, don't lie) I may seem to have been stagnant in my art as of late, but don't worry! I have simply been doing a lot of art homework, which looks really cool. However, I'm sure you don't want to see drawings of plants and cylinders, so I haven't posted anything (Plus, the art I've been doing in class is simply to large to scan. Once I get a camera, I may post pictures.)

So, I'm sure you're all wondering what it is that I have been working on (Don't look at the title, cheaters). I have been experimenting with a new style of art. I'm not giving up my anime, I just felt like I needed a more stylized-realistic style for when drawing realistic not anime people. They say that when you try out a new style, you should draw something you know really well, so, I drew..... Tokyo mew mew! (Shocked gasp!) Who would have guessed it?
Without further ado, here is Kayla's Art style 2.0!

So, as far as this style goes, I personally love it. It still needs some work, but I think that, with practice, I can go far! There are a lot of problems that need to be worked out, such as derpy eyes!--where one eye is looking a slightly different direction-- but that is simply a problem of practice.  (Note: Lettuce's eyes are a little weird, because she has glasses in my original sketch. I erased them, but it kind of changed the shape of her eyes a little.) I think Ichigo came out my favorite, because dang! Look at her skirt! I'm really proud of the satiny texture I got. I tried to get the same texture on everyone sans Zakuro, but it looks the best on Ichigo's skirt. For Zakuro, I tried for more of a vinyl/leather effect, but it turned out kind of the same as the others.... oh well! Live and learn! Oh, and Zakuro's hair came out the best! Sleek and shiny, I can do! Pudding's messy mop of hair.... Well, I tried! And Pudding is a lot more forgiving than Zakuro.... I love the fur texture I used too! It's a technique that I am definitely going to use again. It worked the best on Pudding's gloves though. Also, fun fact: Mint's face actually started out as a doodle of Ichigo. The face looked a little too snobby, so I changed it to Mint. And, in Mint, please pay close attention to her tail feathers, because they are wicked awesome!

Feedback! Tell me, what do you think? Who do you think turned out the best? I want to know! Unless you think this is the most awful thing since moldy bread, in the which case, I don't want to know. Let me live in my delusion that this is a wonderful piece of art.

Love and Sparkles!

P.S Just in case the above was a little confusing, I am not giving up my anime style!!!!! Let that be known. I am merely trying new things. Someone can have two styles, yes? At least Loki thinks so. He can use good style and bad style, and still be amazing! Right? good.

Because Loki can be used to justify everything.
