Copic Marker Speedpaint: Jump (zkittyz Mini Contest Entry)

I drew this for a contest that zkittyz is holding.

If you are curious about commissioning me, here's all the info you could hope for:

Facebook

EDIT- I did in fact win the contest with this piece and I am so proud of this drawing.
I had no idea how much attention this video was going to get, otherwise I would have made a full on speedpaint that included the rope and all the background bits I left out.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ALL OF YOU WHO LIKED AND FAVED this video and if you haven't already subscribed I would be very grateful to you if you would.

Anyways, I had a ton of fun with this. Please comment, rate and subscribe! I try to answer everyone, but it may be a few days before I can get back to you.

PLEASE Like my page :D

The water turned out great, and good use of perspective as well. I really dig the vibe of this artwork:)

[JordanPersegati]

@ArtByKarenEHaley Don't be, you did a great job!

[rememberthelittleone]

All those little waves in the ocean, so beautiful and relaxing~

[JordanPersegati]

@ArtByKarenEHaley Yeah I can tell. Perspective is a hard thing master, but if you get it down it makes your artwork pop. Good luck with the contest I think you'll do well:)

[zkittyz]

This is absolutely amazing!! Thanks for entering! :)

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

@JordanPersegati Thanks! I wanted it to make people want to go outside and have fun in nature. The perspective was a beast to work out, so it feels good to know that you like it :)

@VivianAndLozo I really like your entry too. I think it's one of the few line-less pieces in the contest, which makes it pretty cool! Thank you so much O: that's so nice of you to say. I go through all the new entries every day to see what goes up. Its amazing how many ways one concept can go. I guess ours have similar subject matter, (jumping in to water, I mean) which is awesome :D I really like your character's legs and gorgeous green hair

Okay so first of all, there's this mother crapping realistically amazing rope already here for me to enjoy, then you start coloring the skin which looks absolutely right with the lighting and etc, U PUT A LOT OF DETAILS INTO CLOTHES/WRINKLES OMG, I think the hair is pretty wild! :D You are effing good at drawing backgrounds, and all the details back there are so accurate, the water is AMAZING, LIKE LEGIT AMAZING. And hmmm I wish i had a white liner pen!!!! URGH! YOU IS SO GONNA WINNN <3

@yerinable It did take a lot of time but I rushed through it. I wanted to upload it as fast as I could because the contest theme was so inspiring to me.
Thank you- I kind of feel like MissKerriJ should have won the contest but I am thankful that my piece was chosen.

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

@zkittyz holding a contest seems like a lot of fun but also a lot of work
OO are you serious?! Oh My gosh I FEEL SO SPECIAL NOW :""D

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

@yoloyoru Aw, thank you! I really appreciate that. I kind of hope the bg is detailed enough to help catch the eye.
Yeah I wanted it to be more fun than sparkly :)

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

@trevaughnl That's extremely wonderful to hear, thank you :) also, thank you for being subscriber # 30!

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

@nakagoe1 Thank you! And don't be like that, I love yours!

[GirlGod]

Awesome picture! I love the way you did the water and the background (ehh, I haven't had much practice with them..too lazy I guess. But I want to get better with them). Good luck in the contest :)

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

@ArtByKarenEHaley Also 1:24 is where I start on the hair.
And LOL, the trees are magically colored after 2:06 (fails at putting a video together)
And ALSO I make an instant reflection somehow by forgetting to check to see if the camera was on when I started drawing that bit... XD I SUCK at filming super complicated drawings like this. By the way, this drawing was upwards of five hours in the making, including practices of water and trees.

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

@Girl4God2 Thanks! Backgrounds are easy for me, I guess. I do a lot of practices before I jump in to them though. I plan on doing tutorials for them soon :)

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

@Fairy5647 Thank you! I worked SO hard on this picture.

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

@SkyChanxdesuux The Copics are so fun to use. They look really pretty with colored pencil. I definitely recommend them to you since you're already pretty good with the colored pencils.

Really? lol, that's so flattering of you to say ^^;

[ArtByKarenEHaley]

Hey, guys. Right around 2:25 is where I start on the water, which seems to be everyone's favorite part about the drawing... so yeah ^^ If thats what you want to watch then 2:25 is where it begins.

congrats on winning the contest, you totally deserved it
