This week's project – the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl!

I've had a particular photo of Milanya Vayntrub (her voice actress in animations) that I had pegged to use as a reference for Doreen Green laying around for years and finally decided to do something with it. So, here you go.

Thank for taking a look, and any comments, critiques, or tips are welcome and appreciated!

Disclaimer: I’m red-green colorblind. Because of this, it’s difficult for me to tell similar shades/hues of different colors apart, and, therefore, I need to work with very limited palettes when I color pieces. For shading and highlights, I’ll start with a gray base and lighten or darken shades from there, and then add a color overlay (and, for some skin tones, attempt to add a blue overlay to make it less “hot”). I’ve often been told to be bolder in my highlighting and shading, and I’m trying to be so, but… sometimes it still seems pretty tame. I’m just saying this in case you mentioned I need to do that on a previous piece – I’m not ignoring you, and I appreciate the input. It’s just not very easy for me to implement confidently.
