Description
Trying to further develop my soft shading (I don't even think this is soft shading, more like paint-style).
Working on a more atmospherical piece. It's taking a while because this is my first time working with such a piece that focuses so much on the background and lighting.
I'm also learning to work with different kinds of layers. This character alone has taken me about 30-50 layers of various kinds to finish (much less than my usual, but definitely more than it should)
Working on this has been kind of an on-off thing for me because it's such a difficult piece. I'm using what I did for this character as a sample of what I should do for the rest of this piece, however most of this piece is made up of straight lines and smooth surfaces. I don't know if I'll be able to make a surface look smooth without making it look unnecessarily complicated at the same time.

Trivia:
The character's name is Aster
The academy this library is situated in is a prep school for elves (the ones that want to help Santa, I know it's weird)

Do not use this piece without my permission (not like you would, it's scrapped)
