So this is my first original work in a really long time, actually.
I've been doing basically nothing but Genshin fanart and commisions before that. I haven't had the craziest itch to do original work, but I feel a bit obligated to since we've been drawing so many cool character heads.
Challenges here mostly involved the darker skintones, I'm really not experienced with these as much as I should be. Maybe I'll do some fanart of darker toned characters, maybe?
I also think one of the biggest challenges is almost always just being able to establish the environment your character's in. It changes so much about how the colours work, and how the lights should affect your character. Not being able to decide makes things so much more difficult than they should be.
I do like this, though. The process for making it was pretty funky since I started off way too light and her neck was extra long- hang on for the PSD when that comes.
