Day 4 of learning to draw and color hair- I think I found a way of shading that I like! I had an (obvious) epiphany that I could just shade hair the same way I shade fur, and that made straight hair make way more sense for me. I also really enjoyed drawing and shading the braids. I enjoy the rendering part way more than the drawing part lol

Day 3 of learning to draw and color hair! I think I've made a big improvement compared to when I first started - now I just need to keep practicing.

And then draw more Miku. Because I love Miku. (seriously she's the one thing keeping me from simultaneously being burnt out and having art block send help)

Progress update! This is how far I've come in 2 weeks. It's not a completely fair comparison because the one on the left is a full body that took me a few days while the one on the right took a few hours, but the eyes look SO much better. I've been focusing on facial proportions and eyes, now I plan to move onto the mouth (there's a reason I didn't draw it in my latest, lol) and hair. ESPECIALLY hair - I still don't understand how to draw it even though I've watched several different YT tutorials, and I think my lack of skill in that area is really apparent. Hopefully I can figure it out in the next two weeks lol
