My Latest Speed Drawing
Miku Hatsune from Vocaloid
My second speed drawing is up! Another great learning experience with this one. I started on a Galaxy Note 3 (Phone) and finished up on a Galaxy Tab S3 (Tablet). It was nice to move away from such a small screen.
See the finished work on my Deviant Art page.
