Description
This was one of two "quick" projects to get me refueled to get back in the spirit, so to speak, of drawing cosplay again. I wanted to draw traditional anime again since I haven't done it in a while. The other part is the same character but from OVA I.This was the quickest anime drawing I've ever done. I started it in the morning and I finished half way through the afternoon. I tried the same approach with the Hellsing drawing I submited with three characters. I didn't want block shading so I did a bit of more of a 3D shading approach. AND I redid the blood splater on her face. I made more of it and am very please with the result. One thing I DID cheat on was the length of the blade she holds. I wanted to fit all of the blade in the page. There was no other way.
Seras has got ot be my favorite Hellsing charcter most likely because not many characters get an emotional respone from me. This character really did in both series.

Very nice. Looks like it came straight from the anime itself

Damn lol; as long as it leads to something you're satisfied w/, I guess it doesn't matter (tho I imagine it can be kinda annoying).

KINDA?! It sometimes gets to the point where I quit for about a week and THAT'S a lifetime now.

Eeeks. Well how big of restarts are they usually? I usually do a ton of erasing in my stuff but it doesn't matter b/c eventually I do my best to fade most of it out in the final image.
Even if it's entire changes in pose, I try and keep it on one sheet so light pencil and light/moderate erasing works. But it also helps if the paper's really good (I use pretty decent watercolor paper for drawing actual stuff, mostly).
True, in the world of art, a week is like a lifetime,...maybe even an eternity x3.

Well, my BIGGEST restart was when I was working on drawing the Integra Hellsing cosplay picture on my profile. I got half way through it and realized that one of the lenses on her glasses was bigger than the other. I fixed that then another problem arose after I fixed it. I was a chain reaction of fixes. So I decided that it would take me just as much time to restart the picture than to keep fixing it and risk smudging it. But I did find a couple smaller mistakes on the one I uploaded but I thought, screw it. I'll leave it as is and I'll learn from that mistake and try not to do it again. *INHALES AFTER SAYING THIS IN ONE BREATH*

You're definitely doing the right thing in observing mistakes and moving forward, but understand that no matter what you do, a picture'll never be "perfect". In fact the imperfections sometimes help it stand out, but the tolerance for imperfection comes more from what you're aiming for.
And on that note, I can't say jack squat x3; that's up to the artist. You've definitely got the technical chops w/ shading and proportions, but it sounds like you've reached a threshold w/ constant tweaking and restarting.
You can try doing more sketches of stuff you have problems w/ (something I need to do more of too actually), just so long as you're enjoying it and feeling like you're making progress.

Thanx a bunch. I wanted to "evolve" the block shading to a more 3 dimentional shading to make it "pop" or stand out more.

Just practice like I did and it will come. Blenders at the craft store are a gift from heaven!!!!

I didn't know where to start either. I hated blenders at first and as I practiced with them, they grew on me. All in good time once you put some work into it.
