Painting progress. Trying doing a shadow layer first, and now I’m going back and painting in more by hand, which hopefully will cut back on the overly rendered look
Still not super happy with it but I like it more than my original pass (pictured below). Still don’t think I did a good job capturing the fear and determination in the eyes, but I’ll call this for now.
@JDonaldson_art @andceteras Not sure if this exactly fits, but I always loved @sotonami ’s work for managing to take the clean manga look and melding it with a much more chaotic, abstract painting style.
Sometimes I struggle and feel like everything Im drawing looks horrible. I have to remind myself I have the *ability* to draw something I like, and have in the past. I just need to learn to do it more consistently, which takes time and practice.
Not super happy with how this is going, so probably going to pause it here for now and take a break.

Did some minor tweaks to increase the value range of the piece. I think it helped a lot to make it feel less “flat”
