This was a Fakiru fanart I drew for a friend as her birthday present. I'm depicting Ahiru and Fakir, married, and in a rather intimate situation. As newly-weds I drew Ahiru with a rather coy look while Fakir is much more...confident, shall we say?

However having never drawn any sort of intimate fanart before, this was also a challenge for myself to see if I can actually draw something of that order. At first I was really flustered about drawing it, mostly because I have half embarrassed and half worried that I wouldn't be able to pull it off. But I was really surprised by the outcome and how much other people seemed to like it after I first posted it on LJ (which surprised me because I know intimate Fakiru fanart isn't every fan's cup of tea), and I hope you guys here on DA will like it too.

The picture itself was generated from four different sketches on four different sheets of paper because I have yet to figure out how to draw two characters so close together on one piece of paper. After I scanned the pencil drawing into the computer I added a tan colored layer and a tan colored gradient on Photoshop, then erased away some of the tan color to create the white chalk look for highlights, a visual effect I picked up from CLAMP's art work.
