I wanted to draw Yotsuba again... just for fun. I wanted to do something much brighter, but in the end, it turned out muted and kind of retro-ish (maybe?)... haha... I did this illustration after reading the latest chapter of Yotsubato! where Yotsuba gets her very own teddy bear, Duralumin~ Not that funny, but still super cute and sweet ^__^

You can read chapter 57 here: [link]

BTW, I don't know what color Duralumin really is, but since he's white in the manga, I figured he's some sort of golden color. Also, in this chapter, Yotsuba is wearing a longer sleeved t-shirt... I like that alot ^__^ She's dressing a little warmer for the season... ^^

I spent too long on the line art...
