Anyway, this was technically my second attempt at drawing her. The first time I did try to go against my habit of drawing several strokes, and tried to make bigger, longer strokes. But I didn’t feel confident it looked good enough, so I redid the inking, mostly to redo the hands, going back to my old style of doing the mini strokes. I also tried using thinner ink lines, but in retrospect I think I’m wishing I used more thicker, bolder lines. All well.

I also tried a new shading trick, using the marquee tool and the gradient tool. But I also wasn’t happy with the process.
