Alternate Outfit Ritsu

Ritsu with her bangs down = win

The outfit was inspired by the one she wore in the K-ON2 ED2, though I somehow ended up giving her my own design to wear. I was also going to add drums, but (1) I'm not much of a fan of drawing most inanimate objects, and (2) they'd block the view of half of Ritsu.

I'm back to using vectors complemented by raster effects (Paintbrush tool is win); aside from the occasional experimenting, I think I'll stick with this coloring method. Got the bit of practice here too -- clothing folds, shading/lighting, backgrounds... Wait, I made a background?!

Anyhow, this drawing was pretty much my whole day in a nutshell; bed times now.
