I fibbed. This is the last WIP. Now to go to bed as I figure out what to do for the background!
I use Pixlr to toggle through colors and experiment a bit so that I can get an idea of how to better adjust colors (since I can't apply masks in MS Paint).
This is probably going to be the last WIP, but I just wanted to show how shapes/colors come together with some persistence! Still rough (too muted + murky), but it's progress!
Since I use Paint, I can't really think in terms of layers, which is interesting.
'Blue Cords.' Microsoft Paint.
A doodle I'm not super pleased with, but I like how her face came out! :)

'Winter Magic.' Microsoft Paint.
A quick revisit to an older piece! I like to imagine that the character has gotten a little bit older. :)

Redrawing old favorite. :)
If there's one thing I miss about my old style, it's the way I used colors! Still, it's encouraging to see how my style evolved over time.

'First of December.' Microsoft Paint.
One of my favorite pieces despite the fact that it's a little over 6 years old. Had to resist the urge to post it sooner. 💙

'Pink n' Purple.' MS Paint.
Had the urge to draw while visiting family! My husband recommended that I choose pink for her hair so I ran with it. 💜

'Even if I Fall Into the Deepest Darkness.' MS Paint.
Colors tweaked in Pixlr! I drew this a few years ago while grappling with mild depression. I'm happy to say that I'm much better now :)

'Mari Anne.' MS Paint.
Another old + tweaked doodle from years ago! Overall, I think I've improved over the years, but I think I've regressed when it comes to color choices.
