Unlike a lot my previous work, this one went through various developments. One of the reasons for it being the decision of the pose. My original idea was to do sexy strut, one that was facing forward, as if she was approaching the viewer. I wanted to add a bit more activeness instead of a sitting pose, especially the ones with their legs crossed (because that's my default if I want to make an older anime woman sexy, apparently). I had a basic body sketch and everything.But then came the second reason: the outfit. I was fairly content with the dress she had during the original series , the hair being probably the biggest hurdle. In my search for screenshots and character design sheets though, I came across this and felt I needed to change it. I could've just swapped the dress, as I wasn't that far in the initial stage, but in my mind I already associated the sketch with the first design.The rest of the story is fairly self-explanatory and on my Twitter . I've grown to have this obsession with legs and full body sketches. Now I know why artists charge more for them,, I mean. The reason I've done them up to this point is to prove I can, and that I understand body structure.Thankfully, the new sketch, which you see in front of you, still does that (hopefully). Also, it gave me the opportunity to draw a head from the side view.Enjoy!2+ weeks (on and off)Rattlesnakes by Vexare, Machines by Crown the EmpireDrawn using a CTH-460 Wacom Bamboo tablet in CLIP STUDIO PAINT
