Jay in the Notebook

For my next drawing, I decided to return to my social media roots - that is, making Minecraft: Story Mode content! Deciding on drawing Petra was obviously a no brainer; she's by far my favourite character, and it's been too long since I've last drawn her!

I tried learning from some mistakes in my first shared artwork. For one, I struggled with proper shading, so I coloured in the background before I started colouring Petra herself (this was mildly successful, although the background itself kind of hurts my eyes, lmao). Also, someone on Reddit suggested I look out for body proportions, which I tried to do here, too. I was slightly less successful here, although at least I did better in drawing muscle/tone than I have in the past. I'll definitely keep working on it, though.

Here's some mid-process photos I took (sketch, outline-sketch, and outline, respectively):
