Another commission, this one included design elements again! I got a reference but had to draw a slightly different form for them.
I made two versions because one of them was supposed to have insect-like eyes.
The sketch was pretty rough as always! I was mostly focused on figuring out how much neck fluff I wanted and if the leaves were growing from below them or were coming out of the fur.
Lineart worked out pretty well today, my hand felt steady enough and I didn't have to correct a lot of them. I was playing around with the eye and head sizes for a bit though.
Flat color! I like these colors, they are muted and earty while still popping due to their contrast.
And then of course shading. I'm getting better at shading fur but I can never quite settle on one shading style for it. I kinda just go with the flow and look how much detail in the fuir suits the character. HIghlight, colored lineart, done! I'm happy with the result.
