You Are Beautiful

_Uhuhu~

Forever. This took FOREVER.

This is the product of many hours of photomanipulation, learning how to make proper lineart, discovering screentones, and of course, coloring.

If you look at the original, you may notice that I have tweaked this slightly. After said tweaking, I colored the manga page as per usual, but the low quality bothered me a lot, so I decided to go back over the lines and then re-color.

I really have no idea what I'm actually doing, so if you have any tips (how to make the lines smoother, how to shade/highlight better, what the heck to do with the background), please tell me. :3

The name of this and the colors are inspired by a palette found here: [link] Props to the palette-maker. (I like palettes a lot!)

Please enjoy!
