It's Megumi Kato of the anime Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata. A friend asked me to draw her (I didn't see this anime). I just googled some images of her and watched a little bit of the anime. I used that for reference.

After some practise I made this on a request of a friend:
Megumi Kato (anime)

That's my new favourite!
Your shadows are so good, when I try drawing something my shadows end up to hard and flat like a cartoon. Yours come really alive!

I will post here my inkscape creations that I have finished.
If you see something that could be better, feel free to point it out.

Thank you, the power stroke was what I needed.

Thx, I will watch it.

my progress:

I found an awseome drawing online and I wanted to recreate it in inkscape.
But I don't know how to draw the detail so well. I'm talking about shadow of the cloak, lines in the cloak etc.

This is my first image, I made it 2 days ago:

I know it looks like it was on drugs ...
