Description Had some fun putting this one together. Spent many hours pouring over the black and white version before putting in the color. I think I kinda rushed the color a bit. Could use a bit more polish but i've got other stuff to get to and this technique is basically still test work.

Thanks for having a look!

She looks better in black and white, if you ask me. It must be the smoky eyes. Also, congrats on the always lovely hand drawn textures.

Thanks again Lanna. Yeah I really think the black and white version are stronger but that's because I get to be such a lazy ass with the color part of the drawing. I've been stuck on the daily sketch challenge way of thinking which usually don't get colored. So i've got a little stuck. I can DO color, but it takes a LONG time. If i'm being honest, I didn't bother with texturing, so if you see that then it's purely accidental lol! I'm serious. I really would have liked to spend more time on it tough. Texturing, details and effects are generally the last steps in the drawing/painting. And that usually comes after 12+ hours. If I average about 4-6 hours for a black and whit drawing, 4-6 for color and then 2-3 for the details. It's a lot of work so unfortunately I don't do too many of them. I'd love to do more.

Wow, making a good texture by accident? I wish I could do that. We'd all want 25 hour days, and no need for sleep.
