Some sketches I was trying to do as more loose and quick, both for clothing and trying to give the poses more of a flow :3

I was testing a few different approaches to rendering since I still don't have a go-to process figured out; it's still very hit or miss, but I think I'm starting to get a little more comfortable with rendering!! I still struggle with drawing femme people though, gotta draw more of the girlies to improve on that

On the first pic the top left drawing started with doing most of the blocking out with the lasso fill tool and then switching to brushes, I was trying to use more interesting colors for shading there!

The drawing on the right and the one from the second pic were done in similar ways (sketch with base colors under it and then rendering on top), but the former had the clothes in grayscale at first and then gradient map and touch ups put over them, while the latter was in color from the start

I struggled a bunch with trying to get at least a similar effect with the texture and detailing on the right one without going insane and spending hours more over it, but hopefully it looks alright! It was my favorite outfit for Coop that I had saved, I think it suits her well, so I wanted to do it justice :]
