Palutena Portrait by Mythro on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Uploading's still kinda slow for me; I've mostly been resting my arm so that it can heal.
Haven't had the chance to work on anything bigger at the moment, but I've been practicing to try and get better at the anime illustration style that I love so much. I decided to share what I've got so far^^

Sorry if this looks a bit rushed; the eyes and ornaments weren't my focus here. I was really trying to practice the line art, and coloring skin and hair. I went way thinner with the lines, since that's what I've noticed in a lot of anime illustrations, and I followed some coloring tutorials on YT.

On a side note, I've been splitting my head over trying to learn the brush settings in CSP, so most of my brush work in this piece is very experimental I think I've fainted.

Let me know what you think about this, and feel free to leave constructive criticism. I really want to nail this style, but it's been a real struggle I think I've fainted.
