Why does dA make it blurry?! Are they gonna make normal-quality uploads a premium-only feature or something??
Apparently my browser was on a slight zoom XD go figure.

This was an experiment of my shiny new wannabe-professional pencils

I'm going to add a background, some sort of a natural "throne"... That's why the title. Well, I have to explain her hands' pose SOMEHOW.
And maybe I'll colorize in photoshop.

I actually didn't wanna upload until I'm done, but I want critiques from anyone who feels they can give me them. my purpose in the first place is to ask critique of certain people, but if someone else is interested, I'd love to hear what you have to say <3

Jealousy gets you to weird places. It burns your soul and threatens your being. But it can sometimes give you inhuman abilities.
I did not pick up a pencil and draw... well, pretty much since my last drawing submission (Apparently, almost a month ago ). I only stared and drooled at the works of some of dA's best traditional artists. I think I've got an enormous improvement from staring I say, the best method to improve is to keep thinking about what you want to draw and not draw it. For a long while. The brain already forgets what it can't do, and is busy focusing on what it wants to be done...
