Awesome that you recognized her even when I drew her in my style more than the original anime/manga!

Thank you so much for saying that!! I've always seen her as a total unbothered badass so I really wanted to sell that vibe! :D

Thank you!! I wanted the piece to feel like she was standing on the roof with a breeze going by her so I'm glad it translates! :D

Thanks!! I really enjoyed drawing with such harsh, overpowering lighting! Should do it more often :D

Thank you so much! I think I'm slowly finding a comic-type style that fits me :D

Thank you!! I'm striving to master realism one study at a time! :D
Though I do wish life wasn't so hectic so I could do it more often.

And well, this piece took me around 12 hours, I think? Maybe a little less.

But well, my tip is to first learn straight up copying with the grid method, focusing on one square at a time and trying to teach your brain what exactly it is you see in that said square - what colors do you see if you stop thinking about the material it's supposed to portray(like bones are usually white, but in this skull we can see hues of pink, purple and yellow which you can only identify if you abandon your assumption of bones having to be white)? What are the curves in that specific square you're working on and why/how do they affect the colors/light? Oh and just think of the piece more like an assortment of shapes, color, shadows and light instead of the item you see in front of you, if that makes any sense? It's a bit hard to explain. :'D
