Again, I took an existing character and re.. uh.. re-doodle it. This time I've chosen Risa Shiina from the manga Ubunchu while she's holding a Tux cuddly toy ^^
The challenge was to draw her as happy as I could. My intent was to draw her with a somewhat sweet smile that you're going to melt away.. but yeah, see for yourself. In my opinion, the drawing hasn't reached this sparkling yet..
I know of gimp to cut around for experiments. Maybe I'll make use of this feature sometimes. Just don't like to cut around on a scanned drawing though.
I rather prefer to play with the expression on paper with a good white rubber made in Japan, so that you can redo it many times (the cheap ones are destroying your paper immediately).
If you need to play with the expression, use gimp to cut out the facial features and move around to see what you can get.
