If you look closely you'll see her... :D
So yeah, I decided I needed to take a short break from my realistic coloring and do some cel-shaded drawings. I really enjoyed drawing something simple for a change.
This also gave me some time to think about my realistic coloring, which I think I'm done with now. It was an experiment I did to learn on how far I could push it with this style, while also learning about advanced shading/lighting. My idea is to stylize it so it becomes less realistic and more 'fantasy' looking in the coloring.
