Description

:iconcommentplz: and FULL VIEW!
For funny dialogue:
Canada: *embarrassed* Uwawawa! A-Alfred, stop! (This is so embarrassing!)
American: *oblivious* Hmm?

dance: :dance: I think this is the first piece of digital art I've done I'm actually satisfied with! :dance: :dance:
Bear with me; I'm still a beginner at digital art.

I almost, just ALMOST got tired of it and almost gave up colouring but didn't; I just decided, as a treat, to finish colouring it. I really wanted to come up with something decent (and coloured completely!) to mark my coming back to DA...

I did the sketch by hand, scanned it, and inked on Manga Studio Debut 3.0, and switched to GIMP to colour.
I swear, Smudge and Blur tools can make anything look good XDD I seriously only shaded because I had those...
And notice their shirts are opposites in design, practically? I know the American flags are messed up and their hands (only Matthew's left one looks decent); I got tired of them...

If anyone wants to see the progress and/or get the lineart:

Time taken:
Sketch: 30-45min?
Line: 3-4 hours?
Colour: 4-4 and a half hours?
Done with 0.5mm mechnical pencil, MangaStudio Debut 3.0 Brush tool, GIMP paintbrush and Smudge and Blur tools.
( I take far too long to finish...-_-;;;)
