One of those 'you could tweak it forever' pieces, so I went the opposite direction and just simplified it down towards the end.
Despite that, this is probably the proudest I've been of a piece in a long time!

This is an extremely embarrassing timelapse because you'll see I gave up on a central part of the piece at the very end because I couldn't make it work. But I guess that's instructive in its own way, right?

A lot of art is drawing something and tricking yourself into not hating it

I also don't know why I drew this. I think spending 5-6 hours on every piece was starting to get to me, so I just started scribbling on a 1-bit canvas. What the hell is it, even?
Alright, alright, that's enough of that. Back to pretty ladies. Thanks for indulging whatever this was!
With this one, I had no idea what I was doing and it shows. Still, glad I did it. One day I'll work out hair rendering in a way I actually like.
