A picture that evolved from something I sketched during a long meeting at work.
So, this is the second time Hanako has made an appearance in a completed picture. And, lucky me, she decided to bundle up all nice to prevent me from having to draw limbs and digits. Arigatou, Hanako! Sadly, she did forget her hat and now the snow is piling up atop her head.
Inked in Sai and colored in Photoshop.
This is based off of a screen grab from the opening of CLANNAD After Story. It was so beautiful, I wanted to try and make it desktop size. The line art was traced over a screen grab, but all the coloring was done by me. I think I picked up a bunch of lighting/coloring tips as I was making this that I hope to incorporate into future arts.

Sub-note: The opening theme for After Story is one of the best pieces of music I've heard this year.
