This is a VERY big picture, so let it load, mmkay?

I've been asked more than a few times about how I draw, if I can give pointers, what techniques do I use, and so on. In reply, I think I'll make a good three, maybe four tutorials of this particular picture. This one depicts Inuyasha and Kagome from my fanfiction "Transformations." In the story, Kagome finds herself transformed into a half-demon much like Inuyasha, and goes on a quest to discover why. It's also very full of fluff and comedy, but that's neither here nor there.

It's not easy drawing couples, especially when they're interacting (i.e. touching), so this was also some nice practice for me. I know it's huge, but hey, I left certain parts at 300 dpi so you could see all of the detail I put into some of these pictures. I even made it downsized to 1600 pixels wide for the site (actual size is 1840x6295, WOW!) so download this if you need to.

Next in the series: Inking; Digital Coloring; and possibly Colored Pencils.

Note: I scanned this picture a total of eight times to show the progress as effectively as possible. If this helps you at all, tell me so! I like to know when I've lent a hand to someone else looking for it.

Also, I this picture.
