I kinda went all out for the background, just drawing at random without any real plan and seeing what came about. It’s a bit strange I’ll admit, but I quite like it and I think it works really well with the image.

Since I wasn’t using lineart this time, I simply filled in the base colors over the sketch and worked with the highlights and shadows until it started to take shape again. It was certainly different, and I wasn’t sure if I could make it work at all. The hardest part was probably her hair, it took several passes of shadows and highlights to make it well enough defined. I also added a few extra strands for style.

I randomly decided to make this image for when my old site rolled around to 30K visits, mostly just an excuse to do something new. I also wanted to try an image that was completely lineless this time around, a style I don’t normally use. For the initial sketch I was originally thinking of a beach like setting or something, but honestly I was just going without a plan and seeing what came out. Usagi’s hair curls are always fun to draw.
