This was a super interesting post. The droplet's eyes drawing became deeper and more powerful with each revision and the advent of color. So insightful for a non-artist like myself.

The drawing overlaying the photo - devil woman - is a terrific effect! Somehow, the realism of the photo augmented the artfulness of the character drawing. This was an eye-opener!

Finally, the nude was pretty erotic. Artful, and yet, highly suggestive. I do find it dark. Your use of color in the droplet's drawing really amped up the energy of it all. I suspect the same effect if color, or lighter shading, was added to this one.

So insightful for me; thanks for sharing this post!

Cheers!
