This question always comes up for every artist I'm sure ... "you can draw with references, but can you draw something original?" This isn't really something I think about too much, because I just draw whatever I want to at the time because it's what I like and enjoy. But sometimes someone wants an original drawing and this was one of those times. A drawing from my head for a commission.

acjub your a little angel adding this for me
NOTE: This is the first time I've added a digital texture to a drawing. The drawing is the same as the original but the background has been added just for a change.
Also, should this be mixed media even although the drawing itself hasn't been altered?
Thank you very much for having a look

Lovely drawing, lovely pose! Did you use any sort of reference for that pose?
No, I didn't use any specific refs for this girl, I looked at a few over shoulder shots to get an idea of how it would look. I'm not sure I got it quite right, her shoulder is a bit wonky
