usually my style of drawing is messy and with almost no lineart. I love the way it feels to just hammer the drawing with a single brush and try to get it to look painterly.
but i wanted to try this clean way of drawing. there was a bit of lineart and it took less time but i didn't really enjoy the process.
it felt a lot more mechanical, like i was mostly using tools instead of just drawing.

anyway, i don't hate the result, in fact i think it looks pretty good. do feel sad that the process of creating this wasn't as fun...

here is the final drawing.
