Okay, I sketched this back in like... September when Erin took me Ice Skating (that was a funny sight to see... she was good, and me... not so much... XD) I've been working on this one for about a week now, anatomically and coloring wise. It's Juliana!Netherland doing what she loves to do best during the winter, ice skating. It's also the only time you can really tell that Juliana is a girl, seeing as she loves to dress up in guy's clothing and is a major tomboy. XD
I had other outfit designs, but I chose this one mainly because it's the colors of the Netherland's flag. Personally I like my other design better, but this one seemed more ... what's the word I'm looking for... country oriented than the other one.
--- I still say her head's too big, but eh, maybe it's just me...
--- PS: For those of you who think ice skating is a breeze and a girly sport, I'll have you know it takes a lot of coordination and leg strength. Not only that, but you need balance and lots of it! It's not as frilly and girly as you all think.
Red white and blue! The colours of our flag indeed.
I really like her clothing, it's so detailed!
Yup. Ice-skating is hard. I can do an almost twirl-like thing-y, but nothing else..
Oh, and nice work on the skates as well, they look like my ice-skates, so I guess they're realistic!

Thank you! The patterns probably took me longer to do than the line art itself XD but it did look better with the flowered lace.
The only thing I can do when I ice skate is hold onto someone and attempt to go forward. I knew it was difficult, but I never knew how much skill you really needed to skate! DX
Wow, I used the skates that my friend Erin had for reference, hoping that they were similar to Netherland's designs. So I guess that worked out pretty well.

It's actually really similar to regular skating, but the secret is the speed, I think. It's like with cycling, you have to move, or else you'll fall.
