Copying Yua-chan

Hello, I'm here again. It has been.... a whole week, I have been using it for doing practice on drawing, by copying my most favorite artist's artwork, Kantoku. I've copied this once before, but then because of the very high motivation to copy, so I did it again. To respect the right of Kantoku, I will post the original picture. This is Yua-chan, a character from Visual Novel entitled 'Your Diary' (ユアダイアリー)

I was very, very inspired by this picture as it gives a lot of 'bright' feeling to me, I like it and love the brightness despite lacking of colors. This is much than enough for me to feel its hidden message and I can never have enough of this picture. Thus, I created this first picture.

Sadly, I noticed a lot of mistakes. The body is too small, the position of head, the neck, the detail of sunflower, the position of chest, the ribbon, anything, this means this picture is failed entirely. I was so sad, knowing I have spent nearly three days (from 25st to 27st) to draw this up to its detail. Yet, I wouldn't give up, so I decided to re-make it again from scratch.

I then extended the size of body, and it now looks much appropriate. Satisfied enough by this one, but still, there are some mistakes I spotted such as the cheeks, the position of eyes, the hair, the position of sunflower and some others. Not really close to the original picture, meaning I'm dissatisfied again D:

I do think I will really re-make this from scratch again, searching for appropriate prepositions. Btw, even if the date is 27, I still continued drawing it until now, this midnight.

Nevertheless, only discipline and hard practice will do good, and I have my faith on it.
