I often do practice, study, or purely recreational art in black and white and gray at a fairly low resolution (about 200 dpi), so apologies if some of my art is a little smaller or more simplistic than you might otherwise expect; It's just a nice and easy way to hammer away at some art without the burden of creating a huge file or getting too hung up on minor details while zoomed in at 400% XD
These pieces are the result of me trying a little different technique of texture and shading (and, of course, also trying a little creative experimenting with figure shapes and proportions, as per usual). As sketches go, it's a little more time-consuming than straight-up lines and simple cel-shading, but i think the results are pretty good...and sometimes there are few things as satisfying as whittling away and carving out some shapes with tiny little brush strokes :)
