I'm very happy with how this turned out! I almost gave up halfway, when the lineart initially looked sloppy, and the horizon line was too dark, but I persevered and continued with painting the ocean and sky, which was a bit of a daunting endeavor. I'm still learning how to paint backgrounds. I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing with the ripples in the water, but I think it went really well! After I colored the background, I softened the horizon line with a white gel pen, and then I proceeded to re-ink Yuna. I made her outlines more solid, which gave her a Tetsuya Nomura feel. This brought everything together so well. Then I painting soft yellows on the side of her closest to the sun, followed by blues for shadows on her side away from the sun. Last but not least, I filled in her colors. I painted this with the plan of selling it at my local craft store!
