KEYTAR YEAH

I guess I'm a masochist, submitting ANOTHER image when I still haven't answered comments or thanked favers for images like, three or four submissions back. I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. :'D

Anyway, this is a character of my own creation whom I call Mana, named after a kid in a dream I had, in the style of the anime K-ON because I wanted to give it a try. It's actually surprisingly difficult to imitate an art style. I had a rought time of it because thin, consistent lines and minimal shading with no blending is just not my thing. I think I got pretty close in terms of the actual drawing, but I'm not sure the shading is quite right...

All Photoshop CS4. (No SAI this time, whut!)

_{I AM NEVER DRAWING A KEYTAR AGAIN. NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE. AAARGH.}
