First Accepting Fate drawing for the month. I thought I’d try colour it digitally this time around and went for some pastel colouring using PaintShop Pro 7. Personally I still prefer hand colouring however.
The original drawing I did is below, before I coloured it. My next drawing will be of William (Will) who is Autumn's mentor and a first class hunter, who she meets after arriving on Motavia. Been a while since I've drawn him.

Love the colors, Lucas. There's just something about coloring that brings the picture to life and adds a very nice touch. Looking forward to the drawing of Will.

Excellent work, Lucas. I think the line work might look a little better if it was darker, but the other colors are vivid and really give a feel for her character.

Nice work with basic tools, they gave a new life to the drawing.
The only thing that didn't work well was the black strips in the sneakers that look broken. Maybe the outlines would benefit from being a bit darker. Anyway, the rest is very good, so keep on doing it.

A person only sees and hears what he wants to see and hear and disregards the rest.

Yeah I agree with the shoes mate. I had some shadow problems with that. It kept on grabbing a larger area due to the grey shadow outline. So I just kinda give in and left it how how looks now. I wasn't too keen on colouring in every little grey pixel that stood out with her shoes to fully fix it at the time.
But thanks everybody I’m glad you like it. Can't say I’m personally a fan of the colouring myself. But I may do some future attempts and hopefully improve.
