The sketch I went with
I spent several hours trying to refine and fix the pose for the lineart
Til I realised everything kinda just looked worse than the sketch...
And I probably didn't need to do much to it besides cleaning it up
this is roughly how i rendered
i think generally for my style of shading
making the shadow shapes and values looking nice from the start is important
afterwards theres not that much work besides blending, adding glows, reflected light, etc...
in the original post i had that blue chromatic abberation effect on the lines
which in hindsight i dont actually like that much on this drawing
so heres a version without that effect https://t.co/0CXMe46Pqf
