Watashi no Tokoro

For my third vexel, I decided to do something other than just a face, mainly because I wanted to practice doing folds, clothing, and the like. "Watashi no tokoro" means "my place" in Japanese... I thought it was appropriate. =) ...Also practicing a new hair technique, but you can't really tell in this resized version. x_x (Don't forget to scroll over, I'm especially proud of how the right sleeve came out :D) I hope you like!

And I am such a retard for forgetting to enable comments... I really do like feedback :'( *pleads*

thatsneakyfox 2 Dec 05 - 10.01pm	OMG... that's the most layers I've heard of so far... -_- it's intimidating. Wait... I still don't know how to have multiple thingies on a layer... is it possible in Illustrator? That would be really useful... Reply from xD it shouldn't be. My first one had 1700, but that was because I didn't know how to keep several shapes on one layer :) And, I don't know what happened with this one... :'( // Hmm, I'm not sure, but I would think it's possible, yeah. :D Photoshop has a row of 6 little buttons at the top - New Shape, Add Shape, Subtract Shape, etc. and I just click the Add Shape one and keep adding the thingies to the same layer. shrug
