The Secret CD+DVD cover wouldn't be difficult, and it would look beautiful. I'd do it mostly black and white but with a few colored pencil accents (like just some flesh-color on the shadowed areas like her neck & around her nose & eyes... brown on her eyes, some gold in her hair, that kind of thing). If you use colored pencil, use Prismacolors (the colorless blender pencil is your friend!!).

If I'm probably drawing a picture of Ayu, I would chose a picture that was a closeup of her face. In my opinion, I would chose either the Memorial Address, ASFXX, or one of the A Best covers.

Same here...


Anyway, I thought from the very first post of yours that the WHATEVER unreleased cover would really be a nice picture. Ayu looks so natural in it an it seems very easy to draw.

that DOES not look like ayu.......omg.....please tell me that's not ayu

LOL @ scary pic!

I think any one of those album covers mentioned would work. Actually, I have to enter an art contest as well and my backburner option is ayu, so my advice is to pick a picture not because it is easiest, but because you *really* like it. Then from there, don't focus on all the details (that's suicide) just work on laying out proportions. From there, after you build ayumi and you have her sketch to your perfection, then add detail to her, add background, color, etc. This is the only way to tackle those potentially gorgeous pictures like "BLUE BIRD"'s cover!

well, i'm not so comfortable drawing by myself, cuz everytime i drew something w/o help, it looked like doggie doo doo.


btw, i'ma make a poll of like 3-4 few pics i'm considering. i'll put the link into the thread when i make it.


moombabista: that person looked strangely like ayu XD;

I also drawed Ayu some time ago (two years or so...) and put it into my deviant gallery but for some reasons it's not working now, there's only a thumbnail left. I will have to upload it when I get back to my home pc

I was just going to ask about that picture, but you guys asked already... She looks like somebody edited her eyes by putting them closer to each other... o.o
