I couldn't decide which pose to use for this version of Jean, so.... I did both.

Colors are always the hardest part, so it was helpful that the color scheme was pretty simple and the same for both. If it were more complicated, I'm not sure I'd have done both.

Do you have a preference between the two?

Thanks for taking a look, and any comments, critiques, or tips are always 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.
